  • 5/5 Ilya R. 5 years ago on Google • 196 reviews
    The lazy market stands on Uspenskaya Street, facing Rozhdestvenskaya Square. It reproduces the atmosphere of medieval Sviyazhsk and its daily life. Visitors can watch and participate in knightly tournaments. Thanks to VIC "Sulitsa", they will get acquainted with costumes and weapons from various eras and regions, and gain skills in using small arms. Teahouse and open-air tavern "At Ivan's", where you can try folk dishes cooked over an open fire. On the territory of Lazy Torzhok you can buy souvenirs and get acquainted with the work of artisans. Each participant will be able to try himself as a craftsman and make a souvenir as a keepsake. The shooting range is a special entertainment for those who want to demonstrate their superiority and skills as a hunter. In addition, there are archery and spear shooting ranges, a knight's lists, and a souvenir shop.

    The review will not be about the museum, the fair, or the activities. The review will be about pancakes, which are baked by two wonderful women on the territory of Lazy Torzhok. Just as in the case of Sviyazhsk khachapuri, information about pancakes baked over an open fire, according to an old recipe, was obtained on the Internet. It's very, very tasty! And with homemade jam and herbal tea - simply delicious. Tea is a different story. I have never tried such aromatic, fragrant tea, filled with sun and the smell of summer. What is especially pleasant is that the craftswomen observe Orthodox traditions. My visit took place during the period of Peter’s Lent, and the pancakes were baked Lenten. Special respect for this! Strictly recommended to visit.

    Fun place. You can shoot with a bow and crossbow, throw spears and axes. Original and not so souvenirs are sold. You can taste delicious pancakes with apple jam straight from the frying pan.

    We read rave reviews... We expected something more. Overall, a good place for leisure on the island. You can shoot with a bow or crossbow (100 rubles for 4 shots). You can feel like an ancient Russian)), if you change into clothes from those times (as you enter, take a right). I won’t tell you the price, I haven’t used this service. Inside Torzhok itself there are handmade souvenirs - leather, ceramics, forging. Before entering - mostly China. They sell their own beer and kvass. There is a toilet (you need to go towards the shooting range, in the far right corner from the entrance). Nobody asks for money for it, but any penny is welcome (there is an appropriate container inside for tips)))). They open at about 10 am, there is practically no one there before. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to tournaments, hand-to-hand combat, etc. Apparently, everything is also on schedule. Payment is preferable in cash.

    Amazing pancakes with apple jam. They are baked by wonderful girls. Be sure to check it out. Delicious tea from a samovar is served along with pancakes.

    Theft!! My boyfriend was just looking at the souvenirs. I was walking by and it’s not even clear how I unintentionally hit some magnet for 1000 and it broke. According to the law on consumer rights, if something breaks unintentionally because of the buyer, then it is the seller’s fault because the goods are located inconveniently, but this woman BEGAN TO DEMAND PAYING FOR THE MAGNET!!!!!! No one expected such impudence. Of course, they are settled there in the atmosphere of Rus', but the laws of the Russian Federation are apparently not written for such persons. (this saleswoman with blond hair stands at the entrance behind her counter)

👍 From the outside it looks beautiful, it was not possible to get inside, due to the very limited access of tourists due to the preservation of the frescoes. Groups of no more than 40 people are allowed every 1.5 hours. Admission is free, but you need to take a free ticket from the museum shop nearby...
