Day trip to Suzdal from Moscow: transport, sights, maps and tips
DAY TRIP TO SUZDAL
Suzdal is one of the most popular destinations on the Golden Ring and the whole city is often described as an open-air museum. The city has no railway station and practically no heavy industry, meaning that is has preserved its provincial charm and a great deal of architectural monuments.
From Moscow, Suzdal is not as easy to get to as Sergiev Posad (the closest Golden Ring city to the capital) but it is worth going the extra distance as Suzdal provides more of a contrast from Moscow. If you make use of high-speed trains it is possible and not too demanding to visit for even just a day, but of course spending the night there is recommended to soak in the atmosphere or to combine it with a visit to neighbouring Vladimir. As the city is a very popular tourist destination you will have no problem finding a cafe or guesthouse there. There is practically no public transport in the city, but the city is small and most sights are located relatively close to each other.
Getting There and Back
Via Vladimir
Direct to Suzdal
Buses directly to Suzdal leave from Moscow’s Schyolkovsky Bus Station. There are about 9 buses a day and it takes around 4½ hours depending on traffic. The buses stop at Vladimir too. Using this option will mean a rather exhausting day trip.
Orientation and Main Sights
Suzdal is a relatively small city and it is not difficult to walk around the city to see most of the sights.
The main road in the city is Ulitsa Lenina which runs north across the whole city.
The main sights of Suzdal are located either on or just off this road, including the two main sights: the Suzdal Kremlin in the south and the Spaso-Yevfimiev Monastery in the north.
More information about Suzdal can be found on our Suzdal pages.
Suzdal is famous for its medovukha (mead) which is an alcoholic drink made out of honey. It can be drunk either hot or cold, meaning it perfect in both summer and winter, and you will find it on practically every menu in the city. There are various flavours of the drink available and even a non-alcoholic version. In addition to medovukha, you can find all traditional Russian souvenirs in the city and there is a big souvenir market on Torgovaya Ploschad.
