The Holy Trinity-St. Sergius Lavra

The Holy Trinity-St. Sergius Lavra “In the land of Moscow and all over the world there is no other monastery equal to this one…” - Archdeacon Paul of Aleppa

Reviewed By israroz - Ra'anana, Israel

One of the highlights of our trip to Russia, (my wife’s and myself, her sister, and my brother in law) was without any doubt our trip to the Golden Ring and especially to The Holy Trinity-St. Sergius Lavra church in the city of Sergiev Posad which is considered to be one of the most important religious centers in Russia and a pilgrimage site especially to believers in Orthodox Christianity. Since we arrived with our “private” guide who had “pre-arranged” personal guidance for us, so we “got” a young guide from the church staff who took us under his wings and led us to all the interesting places (and they are many) throughout the site. Explained to us the history of the place from its inception to the present day. Starting from the entrance area with the arched door and the amazing frescoes on the walls and ceiling and later all the spectacular sites (and they are many). In conclusion a most amazing place NOT 2 B MISSED.

Kolomenskoye Historical and Architectural Museum and Reserve

This former village and archaeological site housed summer residences of the grand dukes of Moscow, and later of the tsars, and is now a museum and reserve.

Reviewed By HelenW3596 - Hawera, New Zealand

We chose to go to Kolomenskoye simply to get away from the touristy centre of the city, and we were delighted with what we found. Arriving at the south end of the reserve from the Kashirskaya metro station we were able to visit first the reconstructed Tsar Palace. This wooden palace was impressive in its detail and presented history in a living way with information in several languages available in each room. We enjoyed this far more that the Kremlin and would go so far as to suggest missing the Armoury at the Kremlin and spending time at Kolomenskoye. The park is Huge and while we enjoyed walking the length of it to the other historic buildings, it is a very long way in the heat of the summer sun. There is the option of a little wheeled train which I would recommend. The walk is pleasant, through orchards and with glimpses of the river with the city in the distance. By the time we got to the north end of the estate we were really to hot to spend much time exploring. I recommend a whole day if you wish to get the most out of this beautiful place.

Red Square

Red Square is a city square in Moscow, Russia. The buildings surrounding the Square are all significant: Nearby to the South is the elaborate brightly domed Saint Basil's Cathedral and the palaces and cathedrals of the Kremlin, Lenin's Mausoleum. On the Eastern side of the square is the GUM department store, and next to it the restored Kazan Cathedral.
