Where to stay

When planning a trip to Uglich, we recommend considering accommodation in the city centre — this will make it easy to reach historical monuments, museums, and walking routes. It is a convenient starting point for excursions, as most places of interest are within walking distance. If you value peace and nature, pay attention to the areas near the river. Staying close to the water offers beautiful views and an atmosphere of seclusion, while the main locations can still be reached quickly by public transport or on foot. For travellers arriving by car, the outer districts are a good choice, with convenient access roads and the opportunity to choose a quieter place to relax after a busy day.
