Departure to Pereslavl-Zalessky.
Today, Pereslavl is a charming city on the shores of the fabulous Pleshcheyev Lake, with beautiful panoramas and mesmerizing views.
Translated from Old Russian, Pereslavl means "who took over the glory", because the city was founded by the founder of Moscow, Prince Yuri Dolgoruky in 1152.
Guided tour of Pereslavl, photo stop on Red Square.
The majestic 12th-century Transfiguration Cathedral is located on the square, the only one of the first five white–stone churches in Northeastern Russia that has come down to us almost completely intact.
Many Pereslavl princes were baptized in the cathedral, including Alexander Nevsky, who was born in Pereslavl in 1221.
Lunch at a cafe in the city.
Departure to Rostov Veliky.
Rostov is not called Great for nothing, because its mentions date back to 862 in the chronicles. The serene Lake Nero, strict and elegant monasteries, quiet streets and the majestic Kremlin help to break away from the hustle and bustle and touch the formation of Russia and Orthodoxy, to turn over the pages of chronicles and history textbooks live.
Visit to the Rostov Kremlin.
Surrounded by powerful walls with towers, it looks like the Kremlin, an ancient Russian princely fortress, but in reality it has long been the Bishop's Court, the residence of Rostov bishops and metropolitans.
The Kremlin is decorated with the Assumption Cathedral (XVI century) with a unique belfry, on which a set of 15 bells has been completely preserved, the Bishop's Courtyard, and Cathedral Square.
