Top 10 Things to do in Pskov, Russia
Pskov is brimming with charming little churches and other remnants of its medieval history. Walk around the town and you can still see much of the original 13th century walls that once encircled and protected the inhabitants. Don't miss the Trinity Cathedral. Just outside of town are several monasteries and a house that belonged to the famous writer Pushkin

The castle and the surrounding walls are a must to visit if you visit Pskov. Also, one the grounds, there is the main Cathedral. The castle is impressive and deserves a tour both from the outside and the inside. Souvenir stalls and shops too in the area. I recommend to take a walk to the bridge and park "behind" the castle for some very nice views.

This is really huge monument honored Alexander Nevsky and the warriors. The monument itself is located in suburbans, but because of its size it is possible to see it from far away. You can walk all around the monument with the camera in your hands, access to the site is free. Overall it would take around 1 hour of your time.

This is one of the oldest monasteries in the Pskov, but monasteries within the city and suburbans are big quantity. It is located on the river bank opposite side of Kremlin around 1km away. Nearby there is made a brand new park with asphalted pedestrian routes. If you are interested in ancient history and holy places you would like it. Anyway it is nice to spend some free time with no fuss. Access to the monastery is free, you can take your camera with you. It is possible to relax near by on the river bank or in newly made park on one of the benches. There is a free parking place as well.

A very old building of a local nobleman that has been restored and turned into a local museum, Pogankin Chambers offers an interesting glimpse into the history of Pskov, and displays an interesting collection of historic items, which are definitely worth seeing. I recommend visiting the place if you like history.

There are actually 2 Para monuments,both of little interest. Pskov,being near to the Baltic,belurus borders does have a lot of military,Army and Aero bases. Always a lot of activity,im not sure of the total but its in excess of 30,000 paras,military troops based in the area.

Reviewed By Chris L - Pskov, Russia
Its a tiny chapel,really tiny,situated 20 feet above the Vilikie River,with great views across to the Krom and the walls. Very popular with wedding couples for lovely photos,and there are many padlocks on the railings surrounding the viewpoint,left by newly married couples. Also a good spot to watch the local fishermen!
8. Pokrova and Rozhdestva ot Proloma Church
Overall Ratings
5 based on 52 reviews
Reviewed By Nikita B - Moscow, Russia
Этот объект представляет собой весьма необычное зрелище - 2-ю церковь Покрова и Рождества, имеющую общую стену и построенную в 15-16 вв. Здесь же есть и отдельно стоящая звонница. Показалось, что не смотря на серьезную реконструкцию, проведенную в 60-е годы 20-го века объект находится в далеко не лучшем состоянии. Рекомендую, если пройдете по Ольгинскому мосту от Кремля, то церковь будет сразу справа.
