Health trip to Suzdal
July 2010
Last weekend, my girlfriends and I decided to go to the spa. We looked at the prices of our Moscow SPAs and compared them with the regions. As a result, it turned out that it was more economically profitable to go somewhere in the Moscow region or even further, relax there, spend the night in a good hotel, do spa treatments, and it would still be cheaper than doing all this in Moscow.
So we decided. We stopped at Suzdal. Beautiful there. Originally. In general, I like to go there just like that, it’s calm, comfortable for me there and the rest is of high quality. And the girls, in principle, did not care - Suzdal, Ryazan or something else. Therefore, they chose Suzdal. We booked the hotel "GTK Tour Center" www. suzdaltour. ru and ordered a complex of SPA procedures there.

The trip turned out to be interesting, eventful, fun and carefree. So rest, it seems to me, is very useful. Not for long, you don’t have to take a vacation at work, as the days off are anyway. Diverse - and walk on foot, and ride in a car, visit museums, go to cafes, and even we had spa treatments, in general, you have a good time. For the price - very acceptable, since regional prices do not "bite" at all in comparison with Moscow ones, and the quality of services is the same in principle.
We went to Suzdal via Vladimir. As usual, we stood in a traffic jam at the exit from Moscow. But then the movement was more frisky.
On the highway (already almost at the entrance to Vladimir) we stopped at the traffic police post. We wanted to take a picture with the traffic cops. So for some reason the rebates ran away from us and closed in their traffic police booth. Only one remained at his post, probably the most daring. But he didn't want to take a picture with us either. They thought that we were correspondents from Moscow and now we would start talking about giving bribes on the roads, etc.
In Vladimir, we parked in the center, almost at the Golden Gate and went for a walk around the city center.
How many times I have been to Vladimir and never went into the Patriarchal Garden. This time we went for a walk. In principle, nothing special, plants just grow, you can have a picnic in the gazebos, take a walk.
After walking around the Patriarchal Garden, we went towards the Assumption Cathedral and the observation deck. But we got a little hungry and went to eat in a cafe, very good. I didn't remember its name, but I liked the food. The cafe is located on Bolshaya Moskovskaya Street, literally 200 meters from the Golden Gate. And the Assumption Cathedral itself in all its glory. The main Orthodox church of the Vladimir diocese. Before the rise of Moscow, this temple was the main cathedral church of Vladimir-Suzdal Rus.

We walked around Vladimir for several hours and then went to Suzdal. We had a hotel check-in at 15.00 and until that time we had a very good time. It's good there. There are no traffic jams. There are no special people either) Only in the hotel itself in Suzdal the people were to the eyeballs and then foreign people, they probably join the Russian hinterland. We booked at the Tourist Center a week in advance, and then we got just the last two standard rooms. The hotel is good. Several restaurants on the territory of the hotel, several cafes, a SPA center, conference rooms, specially equipped complexes for children, etc. We settled down, put ourselves in order, drank wine and went for a walk around Suzdal.
In the Suzdal Kremlin (right on the territory of the Kremlin, which seems very unusual to me) there is a refectory. Very good cafe with traditional Russian cuisine. Prices for Suzdal are probably high, but we are familiar) by the way, real sturgeon caviar is served there (I love it! ), But of course it is very expensive. I didn’t eat caviar, I just noted that dishes with caviar are in stock. But Russian cabbage soup, dumplings, pancakes - everything is very tasty and at normal, not exorbitant prices.
Well, the next day we had breakfast and went to the spa treatments. First to the sauna, then to the pool, then to the bathhouse, then to massages and wraps, then manicure-pedicure. In general, we enjoyed the whole first half of the day. Tired even. And they got hungry. But we had a great time!
So we are such heroes that even after we were crushed in the spa, we still went for a walk to the museum of wooden architecture and peasant life. But we wandered there without fanaticism, just breathed the air, in Suzdal there is such clean air in comparison with Moscow. Of course, we also took a few photos and then barely made it to the restaurant where we had dinner and then went back to Moscow.
