Suzdal - City of Vintage Churches
Suzdal is a small town, completely built up with old churches. I can not say that it is worth spending all your vacation there, but you can highlight at least a couple of days for Walking along Suzdal.
From the realization that most buildings here were created several centuries ago, the feeling that you get into the past. As if the historical film is being shot with your participation. You can go to the church, climb the bell tower, wander through the shopping area. However, not all the premises are open to visitors, and some buildings are at all in a dilapidated state.
In addition to the "Piglet" with churches and beautiful species of truly Russian nature, with her small winding robust, wooden rustic houses, oxides, the rest of the city does not represent much value for travelers.
For tourists
A lot of tourists and even pilgrims arrive at this glorious place. Sometimes queues for souvenirs and the number of parishioners in the church even prevents a relaxing view of the sights.
Prices, of course, are calculated on visitors, and not only on souvenirs, but also in nearby cafes. Severy in public catering here is somewhat more expensive than not in a tourist place. I can not say that there are few restaurants here, but, apparently, the number of people still more than they can serve. Therefore, find a place in one of them in lunchtime is quite difficult. I think it concerns more summer period. We traveled in the summer. I can assume that winter people are smaller.
For kids
Should I go to Suzdal with children? The answer to this question depends on what you would like to give this trip to your children. You can walk in beautiful places with babies, give them to play and run on green grass away from cars. Schoolchildren can spend an interesting tour of the historical location, give the opportunity to see everything with their own eyes, and not in photographs from textbooks. If you are interested in funny entertainment, you should not go to Suzdal for this, here "entertainment" of another plan and mood.
