The beautiful provincial city of Tutaev is divided into two sides by the River Volga which were previously two separate cities known as Romanov and Borisoglebsk. Before being renamed Tutaev, the unified city was known as Romanov-Borisoglebsk. Located midway between Yaroslavl and Rybinsk, it is easily visited from either city. However as there is no bridge between the two sides, it is best to visit in the summer months when the locals provide a ferry service in motorboats.
