Our tour starts with the Trinity St. Sergius Monastery (Lavra), built in the first half of the 1340s by the son of Rostov Boyar, Sergius of Radonezh, who remains one the most venerated saints in Russia. The monastery includes more than fifty edifices constructed by Moscow, Pskov and Yaroslavl craftsmen. In 1993 it was entered into the UNESCO World Heritage list. The History and Art museum within the walls of the monastery contains a rich collection of old Russian paintings and various works of art dating from the 14th thru 17th centuries.

After lunch you will be taken to the town of Suzdal, often called the Russian Mecca. Suzdal is amazingly tranquil and beautiful with its numerous churches, wooden houses, bird songs and the ringing of bells throughout the day.
Suzdal dates back to 1024. In its early history it was the capital of several principalities and later on became an important religious center. The town is full of churches and at one point in its history had 40 churches for approximately 400 families. Today the town only has a population of around 10,000 and has retained its country village feel with many of the roads remaining unpaved and livestock roaming the streets. The atmosphere is extremely pleasant due to its rustic, country feel combined with its medieval monuments. In short, Suzdal is an extremely special place and we are sure that you will enjoy your time there.
她曾经是苏兹达里大公国的首都所在,直到12世纪,才迁都到金环上的另一个城市——弗拉基米尔。13世纪由于鞑靼人入侵,城市遭到严重破坏。16世纪基辅落入立陶宛人之手后,这里又一度成为俄罗斯东正教的首府。
苏兹达里位于莫斯科东北方约220公里处,距离弗拉基米尔约30公里,城市人口1万人左右。整个城市建在波克隆那亚山丘上。自1024年已有记载,比莫斯科还早100多年。7世纪上半叶苏兹达里已成为罗斯托夫-苏兹达里公国中最繁华的城市。这个曾经辉煌一时的古城镇,面积则只有9平方公里。城内处处有盎然绿意和潺潺流水,晶莹剔透的像是个不问尘事的化外之地一般。这是一座历史博物馆城市,多名胜古迹,被列为世界遗产。此城的街道是世上罕见的,值得慢慢观赏。苏兹达里城内拥有50多座教堂、5座修道院给400个家庭服务。
A sightseeing tour will take you to the oldest part of the Kremlin, the heart of Suzdal. Specialists believe the Kremlin dates back to the X century and first appeared in the chronicles in 1024. On its territory you will admire the Cathedral of the Nativity, dating back to the beginning of the XIII century, the largest relic of which is the Golden Gates. The next stop will be to the Archbishops´ Chambers, a large architectural masterpiece that took several centuries to be built. It houses a unique collection of historical and archaeological objects, including the Cross-Vaulted Chamber.

After this you will proceed either to the Spaso-Yevfimievsky Monastery of Our Savior or the open-air Museum of Wooden Architecture. This museim recreates the life and traditions of the people of Suzdal in the XVIII-XIX century. The ensemble includes churches, log houses and other structures.
