Golden Ring

It is this region, easily reached from Moscow, which will give a more detailed and historical insight into Greater Russia.

Each of these towns played an important part in the history, both in Russia’s early period, when the principalities were being united under Moscow, and later, when the independence of the country was at stake. While the architectural monuments found in these charming towns are the stone chronicles of the country’s history, it is also a region known for preserving artistic traditions, particularly the painting of the lacquer boxes, for which Russia is so famous.
