Tour 122:
Two Diamonds of the Golden Ring - Vladimir & Suzdal





This trip takes you to the two most fascinating towns on the world-famous Golden Ring of the ancient Russian sites. Founded in 1108 Vladimir was a cultural and religious centre of north-eastern Russ between the 12th and 14th centuries. Now it is recognized by UNESCO as one of the most valuable treasures of international heritage. The Cathedral of the Assumption is a world-famous architectural monument and St. Demetrius Cathedral is one of the most beautiful and original cathedrals of Ancient Russ.

Much smaller town of Suzdal is situated on the bank of a picturesque river, half an hour away from Vladimir. Built by several generations of Russian artisans this lovely museum-town has more than 200 historical and architectural monuments, including its own Kremlin, the Bishop's chambers, the Monastery of Our Saviour and St. Euthimius and Nikolskaya church. Our knowledgeable guide will also take you to the museum of wooden architecture with traditional buildings from the area.


  • All the admissions and fees to every museum.

  • Energetic and knowledgeable guides.

  • Comfortable minibus (for 'private transport' option).
