The old and sacred Sergiev-Posad is perfect for a day trip (just 1,5 hour drive, 70km from Moscow). This Golden ring city was founded in the 14th century, a monastery and now in this city is the largest and historically most important monastery in Russia -  Holy Trinity monastery. Some of the country’s most famous painters lived and worked here, including notorious Andrey Rublev, the best medieval icon painter. This is a saint place for all russian people, because this is the motherland and burial place of the most respected Russian Saint - Sergy Radonezhsky.

Apart from this monastery we will visit with you the nearest sightseeings, like holy springs of Sergy Radonezhsky (15km from Sergiev-posad) and underground catacombs of monks from Chernigovskiy monastery (3 km from Sergiev-osad)

An absolute must-see for those interested in Russian history, culture, religion and architecture.
