Activities in Golden Ring

  1. River Trips

    There are summer services from the river station on the Volga at the northern end of Pervomayskaya ul, including a range of slow prigorodnyy (suburban) boats to local destinations. The best trip is to Tolga, one hour from Yaroslavl on the Konstantinovo route. Here, near the river, you'll find a convent with lovely buildings from the 17th century.

  3. Goryachie Klyuchi

    Rural Suzdal is a great place to cleanse body and soul in the Russian bani (hot baths). Beautiful, lakeside bani are available for rent at Goryachie Klyuchi starting at R880 for up to four people.

  4. Zarya

    For a different perspective on this panorama, board the ferry Zarya for a float around Lake Nero. The hour-long trip leaves from the pier near the western gate of the kremlin, and cruises past both monasteries.
