Directions

We are located down the hill from the Torgovoi Centre (TOPГОВЫЙ ЦЕНTP). This is the long one story building located in the centre of town on Ul. Lenina (the main street) near the souvenir stalls. You cannot miss it! Go to the right hand side of the building, then turn left and go down the hill. Follow the path to the river (around the back). Go past the footbridge and we are about 100 m on the right on the river. We are the new building (currently without a sign!).

From Moscow - By Train

Local trains go to Vladimir (Владимир) daily at 08:07 and at 14:00. Seats cannot be pre-booked but there is plenty of space. Go to Kursky Train Station (Kurskaya Metro station on Brown Line). The trains (Electrichki) do not go from the main station but a separate entrance at the end of the building on the right hand side. Arrive at least 20 minutes beforehand as queues can get long and hectic. Get in the queue and just say Vladimir. Tickets cost 220 rubles. If you are short of time tickets can be bought on the Electrichki. Go to the platforms and ask around for the Vladimir train if you can’t read Cyrillic. In Russian it is spelt ВЛАДИМИР. Remember to keep your ticket as you will be checked along the way and upon exiting the train.

The journey takes about 3 1/2 hours with lots of stops. Upon arriving in Vladimir, (it is the last stop, so everyone else will be rushing off as well!) go out of the station and walk across the square to the bus terminal, go to the top floor and go to any ticket booth. Say Suzdal and hand over 37 rubles. Buses to Suzdal (CУЗДАЛь) leave every half hour. Then go outside and look for platform 10, where the Suzdal bus will pick you up. The bus tickets will have the time of the bus, and clearly marked with your seat number. The regional buses you go by seat number. If the seat number is 0, you stand!

In Suzdal, stay on the bus as it first stops at the Suzdal Bus Station (Outside of town). It waits here a few minutes before going onwards. You need to pay an additional 8 Rubles for this leg of the journey. Get off at the T junction where it turns right onto the main street. If you miss it you can get off at the next stop and walk back 100 m to the Torgovoi Centre. The journey from local bus station to the centre of town only takes a few minutes. So keep your eyes peeled!

By Bus

Go to Kursky Station (Kurskaya Metro Station). Buses leave from outside the northern end of the train station. Buses leave every half hour to Vladimir (ВЛАДИМИР) train station. If you are confused please ask other passengers for the bus. The cost of the journey is 200 rubles.

The journey takes between 2 ½ - 4 hours. The bus stops once for a break halfway through the journey. But do not wander far as the driver leave without you.
TIP – It is always best to leave before noon to guarantee a quicker trip.

Upon arrival in Vladimir (final stop) as per TRAIN instructions (see above).

We will assist you on returning from Suzdal to Moscow. Please ask reception before you check out.
