The best sights of the Golden ring of Russia

This region is best to explore by car, sliding down the slopes on the country roads, looking at unspoiled tourist villages and admiring from the window of classic Russian landscapes. Skyscanner! sharing ideas, where in the Golden ring of Russia to try jam and moose milk, twiddle and walk route Susanin (at both ends).

Sergiev Posad

From the Yaroslavl station you can domchat to Express for hours on a conventional train for a half: Sergiev Posad is the closest to the capital city of the Golden ring. He was born near the Trinity-Sergius Lavra and lives her life. In 2014, the 700th anniversary of St. Sergius of Radonezh, whose secluded Hermitage marked the beginning of flourishing of the monastery, the city was washed and combed, and Laurel finally dropped the veil of scaffolding. Don't neglect the tour guides tell interesting stories about the monastery and help not to get lost in the crowd of tourists and pilgrims.

Out of the gate, to start, bring the spirit of the Cellarer of the pond. There you can also look in the toy Museum: the collection was selected with peculiar museums in the state thoroughness. Then dig down in the old quarters: consider wooden houses, and peep the life of a local.





15 km from Sergiev Posad in a beautiful location on the banks of the river Vorya situated Abramtsevo estate. When Sergei Aksakovo there assembled writers in the time of Savva Mamontov artists. A special treat is to walk along the shady paths of the Abramtsevo Park. Other estate in which you can stop by on the way back to Moscow — Sochi. We recommend a trip to the kitchen: there you can learn how and with what utensils were prepared in the nineteenth century.





Pereslavl-Zalesskiy

The city appeared thanks to Yuri Dolgoruky (Yes, he founded not only Moscow). As expected, Pereslavl-stocked monasteries, temples, squat wooden blocks and a peaceful ambience. He stands on the shore of lake pleshcheeva, where from time immemorial fished: Pereslavl whitefish (they are depicted on the emblem) was supplied to the Royal table. Don't miss the former Fishing settlement on the river Trubezh: it is still possible to detect signs of authenticity.





The main entertainment is to go to museums, they are in Pereslavl abound. In the Museum of iron you can learn looked like a cast-iron shells, which shook the hands of our grandmothers. The steam train Museum — take a ride on the trolley. In the house of Tzar Berendey — to practice in the painting of wooden toys. In Veskovo a few kilometers from the town survived Botik "Fortuna" of an amusing flotilla of Peter I.

Good continuation is to test the magic power of the Blue stone near the town, and then find a secluded place on the Bank of Pleshcheyevo lake and swim all you want. At night you can stay at the recreation center or in a tent. And Pleshcheyevo is a favorite spot of the capital kiters, vindserferov and snowkiters, it even has its own kite and serfstantsy.





Yaroslavl

In Yaroslavl is a sign of "zero kilometer": the largest city of the Golden ring claim to be called its capital. A large part of its history Yaroslavl was rich and influential, and in Troubled times, even visited the actual capital of Russia: the city was the second militia of Minin and Pozharsky and worked "Council of all land".

Modern Yaroslavl is a well maintained and festive, but its historic center is protected by UNESCO. The main attraction — the monastery of the Transfiguration, take some time to climb to the upper tier of the bell tower: the view is worth any effort. According to one version, in this monastery Musin-Pushkin discovered "Word about Igor's regiment", the ancient poem devoted to a single exposure.

Nearby in a cage the bear Masha lives — a living symbol of the city. Her colleague on the street may day, though made of bronze, but every hour emits a ferocious roar. In the Museum "Music and time" are stored the old clock, bells, gramophones and other interesting things. Kids will love the Museum of entertaining science of Einstein.



From Yaroslavl to contrast, you can go to Myshkin. 100 km — and you find yourself in a small town with countless wooden houses in lace of carved platbands. A must — touching the mouse Museum. Then you can explore the craft, capture Refratechnik, watching the mill grind the flour, to choose valenki in Myshkin is full of museums for every taste. To finish a busy day standing in a nice "Myshkin compound" in the woods on the banks of the Volga.





Rostov The Great

The first mention of Rostov refers to the 862. Quiet, small, provincial — and so are one of the oldest cities of Russia. Any street leading into the centre, and there is sleek white stone Kremlin, which all sounds familiar. Click on the galleries on the walls of the monastery, and immediately remember that it was running away from the archers impostors Bunsha and Miloslavsky in "Ivan Vasilyevich changes a profession".

In addition to the mandatory Cathedral-temple of the programme in the Kremlin should see a large collection of Rostov enamel. A minute walk from the Kremlin stretches of Nero — a huge lake that formed before the ice age. You can walk along the shore or go on a little trip on the boat.

In the home Museum "Russian vertograd" contains irons, tubs, spinning wheels and other things, which for centuries was the simple life of local residents. After dinner instead of coffee, order a drink from chicory, which is in the Rostov region grow for two hundred years.





A 20-minute drive from Rostov — Semibratovo village with an interesting Museum thumbs. The guide will show you how the stump of the logs becomes blank (it is called balusa), and then painted the spoon. On the same floor Museum "Library jam", where they know all about Russian sweet traditions, as well as give the blind tasting a few varieties of jam and asked to guess what they are made. If you have time, we can go to Uglich (from Rostov — 90 km): view of the Kremlin on the Volga and visit the Museum of myths and superstitions of the Russian people.



Vladimir

When and by whom was founded the city, the question is moot: whether Vladimir Monomakh in 1108, or even earlier, at 990-m, great Prince Volodymyr, Baptizer of Rus. Anyway, in the middle of the XII century it became the capital of the Grand Duchy of Vladimir, which eventually merged with Moscow only at the end of the XIV century.

What you should definitely see in Vladimir, is the white-stone architecture of transcendent values and beauty that has been preserved from pre-Mongol times. A stately assumption Cathedral survived the frescoes of Andrei Rublev, on the facades of the Dmitrievsky Cathedral — reliefs, which can be viewed for hours.

Eight and a half centuries ago, the Golden gate, which, however, has since considerably changed. A new recommended forge Borodinym, where from Friday through Sunday, tours. At the same time you can buy or make Souvenirs: under the guidance of the master, everyone can forge nails or horseshoes.



Take the time to get to the village of Bogolyubovo, where on the hill the river among the meadows, stands the Church of the Intercession on the Nerl. Light and airy — situated in the idyllic Russian landscape it is extremely good.

For dessert (literally) Museum-estate of industrialist doomnova in the village of Zarichchia, which describes how weaving silk on hand looms, and show the author's collection of dolls. But the most pleasing: among the old interior, you can choose to stay in a hotel, eating cakes from the oven, swimming in the river, to walk and imagine as if you live in the XIX century.





Suzdal

A classic continuation of the weekend — from Vladimir to go to Suzdal, to a total of 30 km On the road any transport turns into a time machine and enters the ancient city. The oldest part of Suzdal — the Kremlin, it is believed that he is around for thousands of years. In the XII-XIV centuries Suzdal been in the role of the princely capital. Over time, the town became a provincial, but the charm is not lost.

From the outskirts to the centre — 15 min walk (and in another makes no sense). Houses with intricate carvings and the Kamenka river, winding among the meadows, and delight no less than the ancient churches and monasteries which are literally at every step. Look into the huts and barns in the Museum of wooden architecture and peasant life.

In the market square sell pickled cucumbers, jam, berries, sbiten and Mead. However, if you like to walk on the benches, looking for interesting little things like headdresses, embroidered shirts and crocheted tablecloths, warning: Suzdal addictive.



A few kilometers from Suzdal is the ordinary, at first glance, the village of Kideksha. But it still have the very first white-stone Church in North-Eastern Russia — the Church of Boris and Gleb. It is now a Museum. It's hard not to notice the bell tower: built in the XVIII century, it was badly bent. Hotels and restaurants in Kideksha there, so for the comfort of food and the urgent need to return to Suzdal or Vladimir.



Ivanovo

Ivanovo — the youngest city of the Golden ring and the textile capital of Russia. To see the old machines and see how varied weaving tradition from the XVII century to our days, in the Museum of Ivanovo chintz. The large and diverse collection at the Museum of industry and art from fans, and porcelain to the armor of the samurai and the astronomical clock of the Paris mechanics AB the Billet.

In terms of architecture should take a look at Modrovsky the tent of the XVII century and the monuments of constructivism: the house-ship and house-horseshoe. By the way, hussars, keep in mind: brides in Ivanovo not more than in other cities, but don't be fooled by the girl at the coat of arms (with a spinning wheel and without a veil).

In the city there are so many interesting places, but Ivanovo oblast is literally a godsend. In ples should go with the tide of creative energy: from the time of Levitan the Volga town does not leave the artistic atmosphere. Kineshma is possible to live directly on the water — at the hotel-landing stage "Mirnaya Pristan", lunch in a former tea house of the society "Sobriety", and then go to the Marketplace, inspired Kustodiev in his first "Fair" and the first "Contracts".

Palekh and Kholui famous caskets and brooches, painted in the technique of lacquer miniature. Shuya — tall bell tower of the resurrection Cathedral, the Museum of Balmont and tradition of soap making. In Sochi there is a Museum of Andrei Tarkovsky, and in the village of Pestovo for the guests arrange the whole ethnographic representation. Add to this a wonderful Central Russian landscapes and have to admit that two or three days in the Ivanovo region clearly will not be enough.





Kostroma

The main part of the landscape in Kostroma — Volga, from her "dancing" the whole layout. From the waterfront street Dairy hill climb to the monument of Ivan Susanin (the Savior of the future Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich lived in a village near Kostroma), and then to the Central square. Here from all over flock the streets — according to legend, Catherine II wished to see a plan of the city was like a fan. Close to shopping malls, which is worth a visit not only for local cheese and black salt, but also for merchant spirit.

On a high hill above the river until 1934 stood Kostroma Kremlin. Now there's Central Park, and the trees sticking out of Lenin on a pedestal, which was intended for a monument to the Romanovs. Away from the city center, on the Kostroma river is located Ipatiev monastery, where he was called to the Kingdom the first of the Romanovs — the same Mikhail Fedorovich.
