On private Rostov Veliky tours, travel to the shores of Lake Nero some 200 kilometers from Moscow. Rostov is considered one of the oldest cities in Russia and rightfully bears the title “Pearl of the Golden Ring”, for it has long been a major center of tourism and pilgrimage thanks to its rich historical and cultural heritage.
Rostov Kremlin has been the stage for numerous films, including the beloved local comedy “Ivan Vasilyevich Changes His Profession”. Admire Rostov Kremlin’s gilded, domed churches and white fortress walls. Visit Enamel Museum to set eyes on its masterpieces of jewelry with unique enamel painting, and even buy one as a keepsake. Outside the Kremlin, stand amazed before the five-domed Assumption Cathedral with its belfry and fifteen bells, which in calm weather can be heard within a radius of twenty kilometers. Private Rostov Veliky tours also include excursions to endearing monastic ensembles such as Holy Avraamiev Epiphany Convent and Spaso-Yakovlevsky Dimitriev Monastery.
