Featured Locations On This Scavenger Hunt

Boat of Peter the Great

See where Russian naval history set sail! On the shores of vast Lake Pleshcheyevo, this museum preserves Peter the Great’s passion project: the fun flotilla. Among bright lawns and birch trees, you’ll spot the legendary boat Fortuna and a soaring anchor dedicated to Peter’s vision.

Goritsky Monastery

Get ready for sweeping views at the city’s grand hilltop monastery and museum. It's onion domes, pastel walls, and soaring bell tower contrast with glorious skies and distant waves of Lake Pleshcheyevo. Inside, treasures of art and history sparkle from every gallery and garden.

Monument to Alexander Nevsky

Stand face to face with the iron gaze of Pereslavl's hero! This monument is more than bronze and stone—it is a tribute to a prince, a saint, and a legend whose journey began here, reshaping Russian destiny forever. The city’s locals call him a protector and a symbol of courage.

Transfiguration Cathedral

The Transfiguration Cathedral rises in perfect calm white stone, silent yet strong amid centuries of gathering storms. This ancient church has watched saints, princes, and poets pass under it's archways. The air seems to shimmer with echoes of lost coronations, secret meetings, and sacred songs.

Earthen Ramparts

Let us meander where walls once stood tall! The sweeping green ramparts of historic Pereslavl-Zalessky stretch around the center like a giant earthen hug, built centuries ago to keep the city safe. Today, they invite locals and visitors to stroll along their summit, offering storybook views over golden domes and red-brick towers. With every step, you walk in the footsteps of ancient defenders and city founders!

Red Square

This sweeping square is the heartbeat of old Pereslavl, pulsing with centuries of parades, decisions, and pageantry. Bright buildings, wide spaces, and monuments welcome you—each corner a chapter in the city’s legend. Stand in the spot where princes once walked and history was made beneath open skies.

Nikitsky Monastery

High above the northern lakeshore, discover the massive white walls and tranquil gardens of Nikitsky Monastery, shaped by centuries of solitude, faith, and miracles. In the city of twelve domes, this is one of the most storied spots—known for bold saints and Tsars seeking blessings.

It was good family fun. Great that you can pause to have lunch etc. was fairly easy but didn’t initially realise clues had time limits - hence missed out! Would definitely do another elsewhere.
