The Golden Ring of Russia is an encyclopedia of the values ​​of our rich country. This is a classic route for anyone who loves to learn new things, wants to get acquainted with architectural and historical monuments, who are not indifferent to Russian landscapes and want to escape from the metropolitan bustle, plunging into the slow and simplicity of this Russian province.

The cities of the Golden Ring are real historical monuments, true open-air museums. Each of the cities of the Golden Ring - Vladimir, Suzdal, Ivanovo, Kostroma, Yaroslavl, Rostov the Great, Pereslavl-Zalessky, Sergiev Posad - is unique in its own way, beautiful in any weather and is of great interest for domestic and foreign travelers. During the voyage through the cities of the Golden Ring, the rich cultural and historical heritage of our country unfolds before the tourists: ancient monuments of history and architecture from the times of Rus to the formation of the Russian State.

Before the judges are the best collections of Vladimir museums (almost everywhere the entrance is free, but there are prices of 50-100 rubles), the famous mead from Suzdal (the price for a bottle is 150-200 rubles), a chic interactive program at the Soledar museum in Soledar (400 rubles ) and many other surprises.

How to get here

The most popular option for a modern traveler who is tired of planning his life is an organized tour. Of course, at cost, it differs from rest by a savage, but still has its advantages: sightseeing according to plan, organized accommodation, the availability of a guide, food and accommodation in a hotel chosen in advance.

Especially popular are bus tours around the Golden Ring, as they allow you to save on the road and enjoy the rich landscapes of our country (the average price for a bus tour for 5 days is 15,000 rubles.)

If we talk about a trip by train, then only the regional centers - Vladimir and Yaroslavl - will turn out, because the railway directly connects only these cities of the Golden Ring.

To leave independently from Moscow, to reach any city of the Golden Ring, and then take a bus to see the sights or go on a sightseeing tour of the rest of the cities - not quite convenient. That is why tourists are offered numerous tours by buses from Moscow (or other major cities of Russia) using the all-inclusive system. Their cost varies depending on the distance from the Golden Ring.

Air travel is also possible, and time will take quite a bit. For example, a flight from Moscow ("Domodedovo") to the famous Ipatievsky Monastery or Trinity Cathedral in Kostroma will take only one and a half hours in time and will cost from 1400 rubles per ticket.

Routes of the Golden Ring

To choose a certain route is not so easy: for example, there are tours for the weekend, which, although reminding of the "gallop across Europe," but still justify the cost of the number of impressions (for example, Uglich - Myshkin - Yaroslavl for 2 days and 1 night - from 5000 rubles).

There are longer holidays or school tours, trips to the June holidays for a week, with an extensive overview and cultural and historical program that will cost the tourist already at 20 000 rubles. per person.

In addition to the classical "eight", the extended route with visits to such cities and towns as Myshkin, Gus-Zhelezny, Tutaev, Rybinsk, Krasnoe-on-Volga, Uglich (a loop through the Yaroslavl region, or the Big Golden Ring) is also very popular. Its cost is 32 000 rubles.

Attractions of the Golden Ring

Many attractions and the cities of the Golden Ring are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The best architects of Russia were the delightful Sergiev Posad. The UNESCO list was made by the ensemble of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, the iconostasis of the Trinity Cathedral where the most famous icon painters of the country worked: Andrei Rublev and Daniil Cherny.

Each of the cities of the Golden Ring is famous for the products of Russian craftsmen: in Pereslavl-Zalessky - unsurpassed items from carved wood (prices quite democratic, handmade kitchen chair - 5,000 rubles), in Kostroma - birch bark items (tueski, .), linen clothing with embroidery (500 rubles.). The city of Suzdal is famous for tapestries, Vladimir - enamel and all sorts of jewelry made of precious stones, and Ivanovo (the famous city of brides) - home textiles (from 1500 rubles.) And stuffed fabrics.

Where to stay

The hotels of any of the cities of the Golden Ring are famous for their warmth and cosiness, polite staff and good restaurants and cafes. Since the Golden Ring was originally a destination for tourism from abroad, it has always paid much attention to the service - and today this rule works without any major disruption.

As in any other tourist center, choosing a hotel or a private boarding house is not difficult. In every city, town or even a hamlet of the route there are a couple of decent places to relax. The cost will vary depending on the living conditions.

More decent hotels with morning breakfast and safe will cost about $ 100.

Their cost per day will be higher - $ 150-200.
