Sightseeing

A full day in Suzdal would be enough to cover all of the town's main sights, although two days gives more time to do it at a leisurely pace. The biggest must sees are the Kremlin and the two largest monasteries; the Saviour monastery of St. Euthymius which contains several churches and museums in its ample grounds and the Pokrovsky Convent which is a well-restored fully working convent. A visit to the museum of wooden architecture is also worthwhile, whilst a walk around the Kamenka river will bring you past numerous other religious buildings in various states of decay and countless fairytale Russian wooden cottages or izba all set against the background of a beautifully pristine rural Russian landscape.
