The main tourist routes of the Golden Ring of Russia include four cities of the Yaroslavl region:

• Pereslavl-Zalessky.
• Rostov the Great.
• Yaroslavl.
• Uglich.

These ancient Russian cities have preserved unique historical and cultural monuments. A special place is occupied by the historical center of Yaroslavl, which in 2005 was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. On an area of ​ ​ 110 hectares there are 140 architectural monuments under state protection.

Over the past two years, the number of overnight tourists in the region has doubled. Currently (February 2025), about 140 more architectural objects have been identified that are awaiting adoption under state protection.

The development of tourism infrastructure and an increase in the flow of travelers contribute to the growth of the region's economy - in 2024, the total spending of tourists in the region amounted to more than ₽26 billion.

The growth of tourist flow to the Yaroslavl region is due to several factors. First, the region has a rich historical and cultural heritage represented in the four cities of the Golden Ring. Secondly, the tourist infrastructure is actively developing. Thirdly, the convenient location of the area allows tourists to make short trips for weekends and holidays.^[2]
