The Golden Ring of Russia is one of the most popular travel destinations in Russia. It includes eight main ancient cities: Sergiev Posad, Pereslavl-Zalessky, Rostov Velikiy, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Ivanovo, Suzdal and Vladimir.

Other cities and towns of Ivano, Vladimir and Yaroslavl regions are also unofficially considered as part of the ring (Alexandrov, Dmitrov, Plyos, Uglich, Gus-Khrustalny, Murom and others). Tourists are attracted to these journeys, because they can approach Russian soul and feel Russian way of life in its province, the unique atmosphere of the ancient Russian cities and, of course, see their attractions.

Cities and villages of the Golden Ring of Russia allow to get acquainted with the development of ancient Russian architecture, majestic and beautiful churches of 12-13 centuries made of white stone, which are preserved in its original forms, tent-shaped buildings of 16-17 centuries, and great works of architecture and painting schools of Suzdal, Rostov and Yaroslavl.

Any city of the Golden Ring presents its history; some of them, such as Rostov Velikiy and Suzdal are museum themself. Witnesses of this are many surviving to the present day historical monuments: fortresses, churches, monasteries and so on. Only in Pereslavl – Zalesskiy there five monasteries and four of them are surrounded by thick walls.

All these cities are amazingly beautiful. Yaroslavl - the capital of the fabulous Golden Ring with its 140 monuments and white stone female Vvedensky Tolga monastery of 1314 year and Spassky monastery of the 12th century. Rostov Velikiy is Russian center of pilgrimage and tourism with a classic in the world of art Rostov Kremlin belfry, each bell of with has its own unique sound. Beautiful Kostroma with its Ipatiev Monastery and Ivanovo, called "the city of brides". The Golden Ring with small and large, noisy and quiet cities is priceless diamond of Russia, its pearl, which glorifies Russia with its history, culture, traditions and folk craftsmanship.
