Vladimir.
Vladimir is a historic city that is even older than Moscow. It has 239 national protected buildings, 56 monuments, and more than 30 museums. The city has developed transportation, with a total of 30 bus routes. The attractions in the city are relatively concentrated, and most of them can be visited on foot.
Main attractions include

It is one of the oldest buildings in Vladimir and a landmark building in Vladimir. It is located in the busiest city center of Vladimir and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992.
🚗Dormition Cathedral
It is an Orthodox church in Vladimir. The five shiny golden onion domes and the white building body make the church majestic and holy.
🚗Church of Saint Demetrius
Built in the 12th century, it has a simple and small appearance, but it is very delicate. The outer wall is carved with intricate and exquisite religious reliefs, which is also one of the reasons why this church is famous.
🚗Monument to Vladimir the Great
He is the founder of this city. This statue was built to commemorate him. The statue is a horse-riding statue, with a majestic and heroic shape.
🍔Dining
There are many gourmet restaurants near the Golden Gate, but the opening hours are relatively late, and only some bakeries are available for breakfast.

Russia's beautiful and low-key small city, once the ancient capital of Russia.
As we all know, Moscow is the capital and largest city of Russia, and the political, economic, and cultural center of the whole country. Most tourists who travel to Russia will visit Moscow. However, in the history of Russia, Moscow is not the oldest or most profound place, and the birthplace of the country's historical culture is in some small towns around Moscow.
To the east of Moscow, there are many small towns in the Volga River and Kryazhima River basin. Although they are not well-known on tourist maps, they are the "golden land" for Russia, where the country's history and culture originated. This series of small towns distributed in a ring are called the "Golden Ring Towns" and are a classic route for tourism in Russia.
In the town of Golden Ring, Vladimir is quite famous. It is located about 200 kilometers northeast of Moscow and covers an area of about 30,000 square kilometers. The historical heritage here is much older and deeper than Moscow, making it a brilliant pearl in the long history of Russia.
Vladimir has a special geographical location, located in the center of European Russia, and was once the capital of ancient Russia in history. This small city was built in the early 12th century and was the capital, political and religious center of the Vladimir-Suzdal Principality. In 1299, after the Kiev Rus Metropolitan moved to Vladimir, Vladimir became the true capital of Russia. However, the good times did not last long, and in 1328, the capital was moved again, and the capital of Russia was moved to Moscow.
As a historical and cultural ancient city, Vladimir naturally attracts many tourists to explore the accumulation and charm of Russia. From Moscow, you can take a train or bus and arrive in three hours. However, for independent travelers who do not speak Russian, taking public transportation is a challenge due to the low English proficiency rate in Russia.
Vladimir preserves many historical buildings, such as churches, arches, palaces, and monasteries, all of which are national treasures of Russia. Among them, the Assumption Cathedral is the most famous. This cathedral was built in 1160 and has a history of more than 860 years. It is the oldest surviving church in Russia. The Assumption Cathedral is all white, with a golden "onion head" dome and towering bell towers. It was the place where Russian tsars were crowned from the 12th to the 15th century.
Located next to the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, the Cathedral of St. Demetrius has a similar but unique appearance with pure white walls and golden domes, elegant and exquisite, known as the "epic on white limestone". At the same time, both cathedrals are listed as world cultural heritage sites and are the pride of the Russian people.
In the surrounding area, there is a church square where lush trees, green grass, and colorful flowers are everywhere. The square has a wide view, and standing there, you can see a vast plain in the distance. The buildings and church spires with ups and downs are hidden in the dense forest, making it a great place to enjoy the sunset. In the afternoon and evening, locals come here to take a walk, ride a bike, sit and chat, and bask in the sun, showing the leisurely and peaceful slow life everywhere.

In the Middle Ages, Vladimir was the birthplace of Russia, the famous Grand Duchy of Vladimir, from this town into a huge Russia now spanning five urban areas.
The Assumption Cathedral in the heart of the city is typical of the ancient architecture of Vladimir, the oldest building in Russia that was built in the 12th century. A towering white bell tower and five "onion head" gold-plated domes become the template for the later Russian Orthodox church building

Built in the 12th century, the Church of St. Demetrius is the most beautiful church in Vladimir and is world famous. Built with white limestone and small windows, it is a traditional Russian building type. Because the texture of limestone is soft and easy to engrave, the walls are engraved with scenes of animals, plants and hunting. It is the only church in this type of building that has a carved appearance.
It is characterized by the construction of four pillar tower churches under a dome. The structure of the building is rigorous and evenly proportioned. The front of the church is decorated with sculptures and patterns. The whole church is magnificent. The interior of the church is painted with murals, the "Dooms of the Last Judgment" (12th-century works) by Guros and Byzantine painters.
This church has also become a "stone poem", "stone carpet" and so on. Instead of using traditional bricks, it uses easy-to-process limestone as a building material. It can be said that it is an art building that gives the craftsmen the imagination and skills to get twelve points. In addition, the craftsmen who came from Europe also participated in the construction, so they also incorporated the Romanesque style. Among the reliefs, the biggest or most striking is David (the ancient king of Israel) who appeared in the Old Testament. He is happily playing the harp on the window in the center of the three sides. It also portrays the image of King Alexander, the king of Solomon, and the king of Vladimir, who ordered the construction of the church. The duke faces the north wall and holds the son on the left side.

The second stop, Moscow's Golden Circle town, Vladimir, actually said that Vladimir is a small town in Moscow that has been wronged by this Vladimir state, the ancient city at night, the Uspensky church and its surroundings. It will become a place for the public to relax in the evening, just in time, just as leisurely~
