Just the visit to the Rostov Kremlin will make worth the trip to Rostov. It has been recently thoroughly restored. I had a chance to visit several churches inside with beautiful frescoes, walk on the walls on the Kremlin and watch the video about the tornado that hit the Kremlin in 1953.

Rostov Veliky pre-dates Moscow a few hundreds of years, maybe 300. It's a small town on Lake Nero with Kremlin and Monastery of Saviour and St Jakob worth visiting. The walk to the monastery along the lake shore is nice and the monastery grounds are beautiful.
Rostov Veliky was my last stop on the Golden Ring tour; might have time to do one more town, but that would be a day trip from Moscow. I visited Rostov on my way from Yaroslavl to Moscow: bus from Yaroslavl, baggage left with dezhurnaya in kamera hranenya; sightseeing then train to Moscow. It took me three hours to complete my visit to Rostov Veliky; could have spent five easily if I had time to relax on the lake or if I took a boat tour.

It is a small museum of enamel paintings on different surfaces. I strongly recommend to take a guided tour. It will allow you to learn so much new and interesting things, that you won't be able to learn just by glancing at the exhibits. I spent over an hour listening to the tour.

Наткнулись случайно, когда подъехали посмотреть церковь. В сущности это сувенирная лавка, но здесь еще проходят мастер-классы. Хотя даже просто само здание очень симпатичное, даже просто посмотреть/сфотографировать можно заехать.

I advise you should pay a visit to this museum if you have kids with you, especially girls. This museum is devoted to a popular fairy-tale character - "The frog princess". For me it was boring. For kids it would be entertaining.

This is one of the most ancient Monasteries in Rostove the Great. The building is impressive outside, very old and characteristic of XVII century. The vew took my breath away. Very old and partly ruined Monastery. Beautiful. No chance to go inside.

В Белой палате Ростовского Кремля с 1993 года располагается «Музей церковных древностей». Само здание было пристроено к Церкви Спаса-на-Сенях в XVII веке при митрополите Ионе Сысоевиче. Палата служила трапезной. Поэтому в ней, кроме основного огромного зала, есть еще подсобное помещение – Отдаточная палата, из которой в основное помещение, где за столами на лавках сидели гости, подавали яства. Сейчас об интерьере трапезной XVII века можно только догадываться либо вспоминать кадры из любимого фильма Леонида Гайдая про Ивана Васильевича. Но и теперь палата наполнена очень интересными музейными экспонатами, среди которых мебель, книги, деревянная церковная скульптура и многое другое.

Симпатичная не большая церковь, обнесенная волами, находиться в стороне от известных достопримечательностей, поэтому народа здесь мало. А зря. Внутри очень симпатичные фрески. Построена она была в 1566 г. повелением Ивана Грозного.
