The best way to see all the sights of Vladimir in half a day is to go on a sightseeing tour. Within a few hours tourists can visit unique architectural monuments included in the UNESCO list: Dmitrievsky and Uspensky cathedrals (Andrei Rublev's frescoes are well preserved in the latter), the Golden Gate. The excursion program usually includes a visit to the historical exposition in the Golden Gate and a museum of lacquer miniature and crystal (the tour will take about three hours of your time).

If you can give a little more time to the sightseeing, the travel agencies offer to combine the architectural and historical monuments of Vladimir with a visit to the Bogolyubov Monastery and the Church of the Intercession on the Nerl (in this case, the tour will last about four hours).

If for inspection there are a lot of sights for you all day, then for this day you can not only get acquainted with the sights of Vladimir, but also go to Suzdal, where you are supposed to visit the Spaso-Evfimpyev Monastery, the Suzdal Kremlin and several museums of the city. You can get to the concert of bell-ringing and spiritual singing. The excursion will last about six hours

Excursions around the Vladimir land often include a visit to the village of Kideksha, located on the shore of Lake Nerl, where the Kamenka River flows into it. The church of Boris and Gleb located on the territory of the village is the oldest temple of the Russian land, built by Yuri Dolgoruky in honor of the first Russian princes Boris and Gleb.

And, of course, once in Vladimir, you should take a chance and go to the nearby town of Gus Khrustalny where tourists will be shown the treasures of a unique crystal museum and will conduct a sightseeing tour around the famous glassblower city.
