Search hotels in Ivanovo

A good 1-2 day stop for people travelling Russian Golden Ring. We have heard unpleasent stories about Ivanovo that could make one think of skipping this city. Still decided to stop at Ivanovo, because we traveled the Golden Ring by Yandex Taxi and Ivanovo was a good logical stop on our way. We found a number of pleasant hotels and restaurants in the city, shopping malls, pleasant walks and overall safety. Taxi service is excellent way to get around the city, subburbs as well as to get to other cities, so you don't really need to rent a car or buy a bus tour across the Golden Ring. Excursions: This service is not well developed in Ivanovo, perhaps it's a good opportunity for locals to improve it and attract more tourists. We accidently hired an excellent tourguide, Alexander, an individual who happened to be a professor at one of the local univercities, who made our stay in Ivanovo a standout and memorable. He drove us around showing and telling about the city history, architecture, people with good humor and deep knowledge. Unbelivable, how places or momuments change meaning after you hear urban legends or historical facts given by a talented storyteller.

We had too little time - only 1 day. For those who are in the same situation - visit the Textile Museum of Ivanovo. We were so positively surprised by it!!! To have a good lunch - Ogonek (р-н Огонек)!!! For drinks - Dublin Pub!!!

I was there for a film festival and found the added bonus of the historic textile industry museums, and the Museum of the first Soviet. Good and inexpensive dinning, and found the locals extremely friendly and helpful. Also cool bars and nightlife and centrally located for beautiful day excursions to the Volga River.
