one of the most interesting tourist routes in Russia
Golden Ring
The Golden Ring is a chain of small ancient towns situated to the North and East of Moscow. It is the most popular tourist route through the Russian provinces.
The Golden Ring traditionally includes eight major cities-Sergiev Posad, Pereslavl-Zalessky, Rostov, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Ivanovo, Suzdal, and Vladimir.
The author of the term and the very idea of the Ring route is the journalist and writer Yuri Bychkov, who published a series of essays about ancient Russian towns in 1967 under the general heading"Golden Ring". This name was later given to the tourist route.
The Golden Ring is not only a collection of architecture masterpieces and charming landscapes of the middle Russia. It is also an opportunity to get acquainted with the life of Russian provinces, unhurried and calm, not spoiled by the bustle of big cities.
