Vladimir, Russia

Why Visit Vladimir

Ancient Vladimir is justly considered to be one of the most attractive tourist destinations during the Golden Ring of Russia journey. Visit a beautiful and original Russian city with a long history and you’ll be filled with fresh impressions of the encounter with antiquity.

The first Vladimir landmark that can be never ignored is the Golden Gate, a majestic symbol of the city. Built in the XII century, it represents the only preserved ancient Russian city gate. It`s interesting to know that the Golden Gate served both as a fortification and a triumphal arch.

Now there is a museum inside that introduces the visitors the history of the Mongol invasion. The red-brick Trinity Church is another must-see on your Vladimir tour. The church shows us an example of a so-called pseudo-Russian style, which has elements of both ancient Russian and Byzantine architectures.

The original “cross laying” brickwork, as well as the high domes and the bell tower, creates a stunning effect: a bulky building looks pretty compact.

Feel the need to make your Vladimir itinerary less formal? Then you may move towards numerous Vladimir museums that concentrate not on historical relics but more on guests entertainment.

Some of them can even delight sweet teeth. Sounds tempting, right? Treat yourself with visiting Vladimir Chocolate Studio and this tasty experience definitely won't let you forget your Vladimir journey.

The inner guided tour in the studio is lively and interactive with fantastic workshops to show how chocolate delights are made. Still wondering where to go for some new experiences? Choose Vladimir and it will surely be a direct hit!
