50 years of the most visited tourist route. Visit the land where Russia’s history started. Russia’s famous Golden Ring Route includes a set of medieval towns located northeast of Moscow and at a short distance from one another.
The Golden Ring of Russia is a vast area in which old Russian cities are located in a ring-like arrangement and a well-known theme-route. The cities are located northeast of Moscow and were the north-eastern part of the ancient Rus.
Established as far back as the 11th–12th centuries, these towns played an outstanding role in Russia’s early history. Nowadays they are open-air museums with well-preserved monuments. You can virtually immerse in history as you visit ancient kremlins and monasteries, see old frescos and icons, stroll along old streets and market places. Each town has a charm of its own, giving you the feel of the special atmosphere of provincial life, not yet as dynamic as big cities.
The idea of the route and the term was created in 1967 by Soviet historian and essayist Yuri Bychkov, who published in the newspaper Sovetskaya Kultura in November–December 1967 a series of essays on the cities under the heading “Golden Ring”. [Wikipedia]
