No doubt that for any MICE project Moscow and Saint Petersburg are the best options. But If you corporate guests would like something different from what these cities offer we would like to invite you for a 2 -3 day program to Golden ring cities (230 km from Moscow).
Some people would think that it's too boring to spend in Suzdal more than 1 day, but it's of course up to you and what kind of experiences you expect. If you are "big city life" fan, then it's definitely not a place to search for crazy night adventures. But that's what is so magical about Suzdal - keeping its special peaceful atmosphere of ancient Rus'.
It is nice just to walk around, visit the churchesand monasteries, cross the stream on wooden bridges, explore the countryside, breath fresh air.
Here you can buy local traditional food (russian pancakes, home-made honey and pickles), do horse riding, take master-classes of pottery, learn archery and try other Russian traditional activities.
Sincerely,
Helen Isaeva
