Vladimir is a city that will be remembered by everyone in the travel lovers club.

Vladimir is a city that is located not far from Moscow in the eastern direction. It is part of the Golden Ring, a group of ancient cities in Russia. If you ever decide to visit here, the first place you should go is the Assumption Cathedral, built in 1158-1160. Its rich history surprises and fascinates. After all, long before the heyday of Moscow, it was the main temple of Vladimir-Suzdal Russia. Within its walls, kings and princes swore an oath to the kingdom. Its decoration is rich in authentic works by Andrey Rublev. And since 1992, this cathedral has been included in the UNESCO list.

It is worth paying attention to such a unique attraction as the Dmitrievsky Cathedral, which was erected at the end of the XII century by the will of Prince Vsevolod the Big Nest. In 1237, during the raids of the Mongol-Tatars, the cathedral burned, as a result of which the cathedral inside lost its beauty. In the XX century, the temple was partially restored.

The Golden Gate is a unique composition that was built under Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky in 1164. Through them the world opened to the most luxurious part of the city. And the gates acquired their name when they were covered with gilded copper plates. In the XII century, the gate performed a defensive function.

For lovers of hiking, we recommend the Lipki Park This is the oldest square in the city, which was connected to the Pushkin Park, and now it forms a common recreational space with the latter (they were united in 1925). In 1901, Nicholas I ordered the greening of the city. Since then, the park has gradually acquired a modern look.

Vladimir is unique in its history and architecture. It is impossible to list all the sights that it conceals. A city that is worth seeing with your own eyes to experience all its richness and uniqueness. The Travel Lovers Club will be a great place to discuss and plan your tour of this beautiful city.
