Sergiev Posad is a city in North Moscow Oblast,
which is famous for its Troitse-Sergiev Monastery,
the spiritual home of the Russian Orthodox Church.
It is often visited as a part of the Golden Ring around Moscow.
Trains leave every 30 minutes between Sergiev Posad and Moscow's Yaroslavsky train station.
The station is located at Komsomolskaya metro station (red line). A one-way ticket to Sergiev Posad costs 176 rubles
(1.5 h, prices in July, 2018) and 181 rubles(2014) on express (5-6 times a day, 1 h). It is an easy day trip from Moscow.
Bus 388 is available at VDNKh (VVTs) for 145 rubles every 15 minutes. However,
be aware of jams about from MKAD to Pushkino almost always in rather extended rush hours.
To get to the town by car take Yaroslavskoe highvay from Rizhski Vokzal (Rizhski train station) or VVTs (VDNKh) -
it takes approximately 2 hours to get to Posad: distance is 70km (40 miles), however see above about jams.
Construction of new intersection between Korolyov and Mytishchi simplified things with the jam a little,
but parts of M8 highway before and after intersection are still crowded because of bottlenecks closer to MKAD and in Klyaz'ma village.
The main tourist spot is the monastery. It can be seen from station and can be reached by foot in about 10 minutes.
The reason why one should see the city is the monastery. The monastery of Sergiev Posad is one of the most beautiful monasteries
in Russia and one of the principal spiritual centers of the Russian Church.
It is a combination of a fortress and a monastery. The seminary of the Russian Orthodox Church is located in the buildings of the complex.
There are several churches to see, a holy source and in general the whole complex with its massive walls and gates is very picturesque.
There are no admission price to pay except for the museum, which shows old religious objects and woven pictures of saints.
At the weekend the monastery can get very crowded, as it hosts some very important icons (at least copies of them).
In return it can be very interesting to observe the believers kissing the icons and praying for hours.
The grave of Boris Godunov (of Pushkin's play and Russian history) and some family members is also located here.
There is a restaurant called Rusky Dvorik (Russian courtier) which is quite good,
but also expensive taking into consideration the general price level of Russian province.
It is located just in front of the entry of the monastery.
Inside the monastery (entering through the main gate and going to the left) there is a really good bakery-pastry,
with local products that seem to be very popular among Russian visitors.
There is also a McDonald's restaurant on the modern part of the town.
Kvas - the traditional cold drink with specific taste: it was prepared based on bread. Some people say it is a bit similar with dark beer.
Mors - berry drink, may be made from any red barries, usually cranberry
Medovukha - low-alcohol drink based on honey
Moscow — about 2 h by train or 2-3 by bus 388, which arrives to VVTs (VDNKh)for around 145 rubles, as of 12 June 2011.
Pushkino — 1 h by train or bus (halfway to Moscow)
Mytishchi and Korolyov — 1.5 h (between Pushkino and Moscow)
Alexandrov is further 50 min by elektrichka and 40 min by express trains (about 5 a day).
Torbeevo Lake - a picturesque recreation place on crossing M8 with A108 (second betonka) not far from the town.
Not much in sense of infrastructure there, and there may be a lot of people in a good day, including those passing by the highway,
but the views may be nice. Took local buses in direction to Bereznyaki
(?? 28,81,120, 15 minutes walk from Bereznyaki, or if you're lucky - even closer from the next stop).
Pereslavl Zalessky can be reached by bus (about 10 a day, some of them running rather late at night.
Most of them are bound further to Yaroslavl, Kostroma or Rybinsk or by hitchhike - for hitchhike start either with local buses ?26 to Krasnozavodsk up
to the turn from the highway, every 10-15 min, or to Torbeevo lake,
than to M8, or by train to Buzhaninovo station
Rostov, Russia - Golden Ring
Rostov is a town in Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia, one of the oldest in the country and a tourist center of the Golden Ring. It is located on the shores of Lake Nero, 202 kilometers northeast of Moscow.
While the official name of the town is Rostov, it is also known to Russians as Rostov Veliky (Russian: Ростов Великий), i. e. Rostov the Great. This name is used to distinguish it from Rostov-on-Don, which is now a much larger city. Rostov Yaroslavsky is the official name of its railway station.
Росто́в, также Ростов Великий, — город (с 862[4]) в Российской Федерации, районный центр Ярославской области, административный центр Ростовского района. Расположен в 53 км к юго-западу от Ярославля, на берегу озера Неро.
Один из древнейших городов России, официальное летосчисление ведёт от 862 года[5]. С X века Ростов являлся одним из центров Ростово-Суздальской земли. В XI — начале XIII веков входил во Владимиро-Суздальское княжество. С начала XII века именовался Ростов Великий. В 1207—1474 годах — центр Ростовского княжества. В 1777 году получил статус города, в 2006 году — городского поселения.
На территории Ростова имеется 326 памятников культуры, треть из которых являются памятниками федерального значения. В 1970 году Ростов был включён в список исторических городов РСФСР. В 1995 году музей-заповедник «Ростовский кремль» включен в свод особо ценных объектов культурного наследия народов России. Туристический центр маршрута «Золотое кольцо России».
