A Mystery Walled In Problems

If you could still remember, Winston Churchill once said that "Russia is a mystery walled in problems," which was absolutely correct! Set in the Western civilization of Europe, Russia preens with the majesty of Byzantine architecture which makes a Russian landscape an absolute feast for the eyes. Yet somehow, until now, Russian life is still a vast oddity to people.

Explore the small city of Sergiev Posad, 44 miles or an hour east of Moscow, and go back in time as a relatively small place in the world was left unscathed by modernism. In Sergiev Posad, a city highly applied) with Byzantine architecture, you will see fortress of monasteries once used by monks centuries ago. Throughout the trip, you will see very pleasing scenes and dachas or ethnic Russian country houses. Along with the star-studded hotels you can inhabit during your journey, there are also bed and breakfast accommodations you can avail of. There is Derzhavnaya Bed & Breakfast, 7 kilometers from the heart of Moscow, just perfect for treks in close cities like Sergiev Posad. Derzhavnaya is really nice if you plan to stay outdoors the whole day checking out Moscow as it is also very affordable. It provides a very quiet and peaceful stay in Moscow but not too removed from the city itself.
