Russia: The Golden Ring
Russia: The Golden Ring
The Golden Ring is a loop of very old towns northeast of Moscow that preceded the present capital as the cultural heart of Russia. Monasteries, kremlins and churches offer a spectacular array of early Russian art, architecture and history. No less enchanting is the countryside with its peaceful villages and beautifully decorated wooden houses.
