faq.title

faq.subtitle Vladimir

Both! Vladimir has grand cathedrals and Golden Gates. Suzdal has fairytale atmosphere with wooden houses. They are 32 km apart - do both!

Sapsan: 1.5h ($30-50). Regular train: 2.5-3h ($10-20). Bus: 3.5h ($10). Sapsan from Kursky station is best.

UNESCO site: 8 medieval buildings in Vladimir and Suzdal built from white limestone. Unique 12th century architecture.

Tight but possible. Better to stay overnight in Suzdal for full experience. Magical evening atmosphere.
