The Golden Ring of Russia
The Golden Ring of Russia is a group of ancient towns surrounding Moscow like a ring. Once powerful kingdoms, they were devastated by the Mongols. Eventually becoming allies of Moscow, they become the first line of defense against invaders.
In the Golden Ring of Russia you will discover over thousand years of history and roots of Russian culture and traditions. You will see what has inspired generations of Russia's greatest authors like Tolstoi and Dostoevsky and you will discover a world that has changed so little in the past few centuries that it will seem to you that you are traveling in time.
Some of the towns of the Golden Ring can be reached by car from Moscow, others are located further away and can be reached by a river cruise.
