Boat

The best way to get between Kostroma and Yaroslavl in summer is by hydrofoil, which runs twice a day in either direction. The hydrofoils depart from the main prichal (pier) No 4 to Yaroslavl (1½ hours) and downstream to Plyos (one hour).

Long-distance river boats between Moscow and points down the Volga as far as Astrakhan also call at Kostroma.
