    • Pay attention to the clock-tower.

    You will not see numbers on the clock face - only greek (or cyrillic) letters with tilde sign above. That is how all the clocks look like before Peter the Great. In XV-XVII cc. all clocks were changed to have arabic or roman numbers. How did this one survived? Miracle...

    • Do not miss the Suzdal Museum of Wooden Architecture.

    A lot of nice wooden houses, windmills and churches were brought here mainly from the north regions of Russia - Kostroma and Yaroslavl.

    • Suzdal' - In the monastery
  • In the monastery
  • by Pablos_new

    • There are 12 monasteries and convents in and around Suzdal' !!! Some of them are actually museums, some are operating as a monasteries.

    It is acting cloister, so you should observe the rules and dress code. In all Russian Orthodox churches and at the territory of monasteries it is preferable to wear
    -for men: long trouses
    -for women: long skirt
    -for both: shoulders should be covered
    when entering a church
    -men should take their hat off
    -women must cover their head

    Many Russian monasteries that accept a lot of tourist will offer you come appropriate clothers at the entrance. Last time in Suzdal I have not nitice that ;-(

    If I could do it, I will paint you
    where green trees are, and tinsel gold on blue."

    • There are dozen of monasteries in Suzdal. Doubtfully one can visit all of them in a short one...two day trip.

    But nevertheless this is a must activity in Suzdal - try to visit two central as a minimum. Really beatiful architecture (each one has some specifics) and very interesting museum expositions.

     We visited Suzdal and Vladimir before perestroika. It was quite a trip! Happy birthday!    		Tartu2005 Sat Jan 21, 2006 10:34 UTC

     Pavel, thanks for the birthday greetings! Have you considered a hotel in Rizopolozhensky monastery as an option? They say it is the cheapest. I am planning to visit in January.    		bugulma Fri Apr 23, 2004 11:03 UTC
     interesting town. I'd like to visit it some day. though USD 60 per night in the hotel sounds cool (like in European hotels in average)
