Golden Ring is the name of a 700-kilometer long bus route beginning in Moscow and passing through big and small old towns distinguished for their great historical and architectural value. Travellers virtually immerse in Russia’s history as they visit gold domed cathedrals and monasteries which date as far back as the 12th century. Today owing to immense restoration work done visitors can see genuine masterpieces of Russian art – from old time frescoes and icons to 18th and 19th century paintings. Travellers nowadays have a good opportunity to familiarize themselves with old Russian architecture and enjoy beautiful landscapes and unhasty provincial life.
