The monastery is beautiful and old, but the main attraction are its relics. The must-see is the cross that contains remains of several saints, including John the Baptist and Saint George.

This is literally just a room full of ancient irons. The tour guide seemed awesome, but did not speak English, so I did not understand her enthusiastic and interactive discussion on ancient irons.
It is so cheap to visit that you might as well go in and support a small local museum. There are some souvenirs you can buy on the ground floor too.

Many other travelers have already reported how magnificent the church looks inside and from outside. I’m not going to repeat all what was said and can only reconfirm everything written before: this church is definitely the place you must visit.
A sign at the church entrance says that usage of mobile phones and cameras “is not blessed” inside. I’m convinced we must heed this recommendation. So scrutinize the iconostasis and other icons with your eyes and inner senses, wander on the embankment around the church, sit on a bench observing the Plescheyevo Lake. Like another information sign says, such repose on the bench is to promote thinking about soul and eternity.
I beg you to take my advice: leave your auto at the hotel and walk to the church instead. The first reason for abandoning your car is that the road is pretty narrow near the church and almost there is no place for parking vehicles. So respect real churchgoers and don’t block passage for other individuals. Secondly, if you go there on foot you’ll be rewarded with a great opportunity to see picturesque Trubezh River and its charming neigbourhood.
If you are absolutely addicted to your car, I still can recommend one tradeoff for you. There is a parking area 350 meters (1150 feet) short of the church. It’s located on the same Levaya Neberezhnaya Street (Left Bank of the River), right after the pedestrian bridge across the river. Don’t worry you won’t miss it.
Enjoy your visit to this place and think about making small donation to the church: I think they need funds to maintain all this beauty.

Lakes in this region are rare and even more rare with a sandy bottom. The approach to the water is grass or wetland, vehicles are not allowed.
The lake was made the Reserve for protect it from cottages, motor vehicles and motor boats.
In the lake you can swim or spend night in a tent on the shore. The lake is very shallow and you must go very far for swimming. On the east bank of the lake there is a campsite, which is only a paid parking.

The grounds of this monastary are phenomenal. They have done a great job restoring the grounds and the chapels. Make sure to go inside the Cathedral - it is well worth it.

Именно здесь вы сможете отдохнуть от городской суеты, побродите по аллеям и будете удивляться... Как, вдали от больших городов, создали и сохранили такую "жемчужину"!
Для детей здесь будет прогулка полная эмоций от увиденных "сказочных" деревянных скульптур.
Особенная, на зависть школьникам больших городов, "Экологическая интерактивная тропа "Природа чувств". Сколько внимания, выдумки, знаний, "вложено" в создание этого полезного и умного экспоната! Великолепно!
Браво создателям дендропарка!
Надо больше рекламы,указателей на въезде в город и привлекать внимание туристов к этому удивительно красивому парку!

Reviewed By Papayaved - St. Petersburg, Russia
This is one of the oldest stone churches that did not destroyed. The wall paintings were removed from it and lost in the 19th century, the other values were looted by Soviet authority. The walls of the church are simple and have not ornaments.
If you travel to Rostov, you should stay in Pereslavl for a few hours or a day and to visit several former monasteries, to walk along the river and swim in the lake. Bus station in Pereslavl is very simple and does not have luggage room. Public transport to the attractions around of Pereslavl goes very rare and the attractions are not so interesting. More good visit to Borisoglebsk nearby Rostov.

Те, кто ещё не был в Переславле этот музей должен стоять одним из первых в списке "маст си".
Цена билета очень адекватная. Боюсь ошибиться, кажется 1 билет для взрослого обошёлся в 130р. Пересмотрю фото и если ошиблась, то непременно поправлюсь.
Прекрасная девушка Даша провела экскурсию очень здорово. Услышали много интересных фактов о чайниках и чайной атрибутике. Где-то с юмором и шутками, что очень меняет формат нудных экскурсий.
Кто-то в отзывах писал о плохих экскурсоводах, не поверю. Все очень приветливы и воспитаны!
Единственное НО - неблизкое расположение музея от центра города. Хотя тот кто поедет к музею "ботик Петра 1", музей чайников невозможно проехать мимо. Большой и яркий нарисованный чайник на крыше домика будет четким ориентиром.

The convent is on the outskirts of the city and seemed very quiet when we arrived. It was founded by Ivan the Terrible's godfather and has plenty of historic buildings. Well worth spending half an hour there

Мы в этот парк приехали в 17 часов, а в 18 он уже закрывался. Нам дали билеты со скидкой 50%, за 150₽. Посмотрели мы все экспозиции: единственный в мире музей «Что изобрели русские первыми в мире», музей «Петрушки, пословиц и поговорок», расписные русские избы «Уральская изба» и «Алешкин дом». Мне понравилось.
