The Golden Ring is the name given to the chain of ancient towns lying to the north and east of Moscow. These towns contain a collection of architectural masterpieces, set in the charming landscape of central Russia. The Golden Ring is also an opportunity to get acquainted with life of the Russian provinces, unhurried and calm, miles away from the hassle and bustle of the big cities. In one action packed week we offer you the opportunity to see all major treasures of fascinating Moscow and beautiful St. Petersburg together with the most beautiful towns of the Golden Ring. This has long been the most popular tourist route through the Russian provinces.
