VLADIMIR (1108A.D.) has a lot of ancient monuments to be proud of. The first striking monument is the Golden Gate (1164A.D.) which was only the ceremonial gate of the city, but one of the important fortifications. Behind the Golden Gate, Vladimir rises on a semicircular hill on the riverside. Assumption cathedral (1161A.D.) was build as one domed church in 1161 but was enlarged in 1189. It was given another four domes, among other improvements. The rest of Vladimir's monuments belong to the 17-19 centuries.

SUZDAL (1024A.D.), a holy city, is in itself an entire museum - its thronging monuments, towers and domes enable the visitor to follow the history of Russian architecture from the 12th to the 19th centuries.

Kremlin represents a strange mixture of church and lay architecture. It was a princely residence and (in the 16th century) an archiepiscopal seat. Nowadays, the Cathedral of the Nativity of our Lady dominates the panorama of the Suzdal Kremlin.

Spasso-Efimievsky monastery dates from the 16th century. Its walls, over a kilometer long, and 12 towers create a fortress and indeed for centuries it served as a sort or the Russian Bastille, the prison for free-thinkers. Today Suzdal is more an overgrown medieval village then a town.

You will have a great chance of seeing the country side and enjoy authentic Russian experience.
