Carolin Says: The hot dish was being prepared there for 30-40 minutes but it's worth to do so! You'll enjoy every stick you have put in your mouth! All the dishes are prepared from fresh foodstaffs and there is delicate individual approach! I liked everything except some waitresses. Maybe...
Spasskaya restaurant: The Spasskaya-great food
salisbury3933 Says: The Spasskaya restaurant inside the hotel of the same name was excellent. Good service, and good food. Cheap Moldovan wine of good quality as well. If I ever go back to Vologda, I would definitely go there again.
msforbes Says: As I said, never been there, tried to get a table, but no luck. It's on ul Miru 6If you're facing the Lenin Statue, turn left.

I can remember how the evenings started, but I can never remember how they ended. Each day at around 17:30 the other boarders at the hostel (all young Russians who were working in the area) would wake me up, my head would be pounding, they would laugh at me, and we would begin again.
I was able to keep up with them, but how they went to work the next day is beyond me.
Anyway, my favourit spots were outdoor establishments by the river, some had bon fires, and D.J's.

Vologda is famouse with its local crafts - Vologda Laces.
It is very beatiful and great for a souvinir, but really very expensive. Tissue like one on the picture can start from $50 up to $1000 depending on size. And a lace dress can be $3000 - $4000! That is because lacing is very time-taking process: one thing can took several month of work.

Luggage and bags: I've posted the same market photo again. I just loved that guy on the accordian.
I was in Vologda at the end of August, take note of what the people are wearing. If you've forgoten anything, not to worry as you can buy whatever you need in town.

Vologda is a picture perfect Russian city located directly east of St. Petersburg about a third of the way to the Urals.
Someone can say that it's just bricked wall, someone can say that it's a historical miracle of architecture. As for me, we had some luck to have a walk one evening after work and I liked it with its...
