Suzdal Kremlin — the oldest part of the city
When you come to Suzdal for a vacation, you enter the fairy-tale atmosphere of an ancient Russian town and have a wonderful time admiring its sights. Even at the Vladimirskaya Zastava, where two unique whitewashed stone pillars greet you at the entrance, you will feel the special charm of this generous-hearted city.
Finding a place to stay in Suzdal is not a problem, as this city has long been famous for its hospitality. It is convenient that most of its hotels are located in the city center, so you can choose a suitable option for yourself. However, during holidays, you may want to book a room in advance by phone, as due to the influx of guests, the rooms you need may not be available. The high prices for hotel rooms match the quality of service. You will not regret the money spent.
Perhaps you are looking for a more secluded atmosphere? Guest houses will suit you. You can find guest houses on almost every street in the city. The hosts of guest houses try to create maximum comfort for the guest, although sometimes guest houses do not even have a sign.
The main attractions of Suzdal are conducive to peace and quiet. Historical monuments are almost everywhere in Suzdal, and in its historical part, on an area of only 9 square kilometers, there are more than 270 of them.
Walks and views of local beauty will fill you with an abundance of impressions of this small town. Big impressions remain after visiting the Spaso-Evfimiev Monastery with its large exhibition of ancient books and amazing ringing of bells. Listening to the male choir in the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral will bring much pleasure. After attending a service at the St. Vasily Monastery, you can climb the bell tower. The Intercession Monastery leaves an impression of a holy place. Boyars and tsars exiled unloved wives to this place. An interesting exhibition of ancient Russian icon painting is located in the local history museum in the Suzdal Kremlin. You can visit Kideksha (from Finno-Ugric 'Kamenka') – an ancient village founded in pre-Slavic times. The first white-stone church of Boris and Gleb in Russia was built in this village.
Suzdal leaves good impressions in people's souls and a feeling of boundless happiness. The atmosphere of the city helps to escape from everyday routine - even if just for a couple of days.
