When the cities of the Golden Ring of Russia have been passed repeatedly, the question arises: where else near Moscow can you find a piece of leaving Russia? Fortunately, there are many such places. Just two hundred kilometers from the capital and you are in Ryazan. And believe me, this city will surprise you.
The first stop for all tourists traveling to Ryazan is the village of Konstantinovo. Sergey Yesenin was born and raised in Konstantinovo. And now this place has become a real open-air museum. The best time to visit Konstantinovo is spring or summer. Then you will have the opportunity to walk in the garden, go down to the bank of the Oka and admire the views that open from the slope. And the questions why the poet loved the Motherland so much and sang it so much in his poems will disappear by themselves. Here is real Russia.
And after walking up a lot, you can go to the estate of the landowner Lidia Ivanovna Kashina, to whom Yesenin dedicated the poem Anna Snegina. And the house of the poet himself is open to visitors. Although rather not a house, but a log hut with three tiny rooms and a modest way of life. Preserved in the village and the Church of the Kazan Mother of God, where the poet was baptized, and the house of the priest Smirnov. Such a trip is a good opportunity to acquaint children with Russian life, with the life of peasants and landowners. And, of course, remember Yesenin's poems, which you just want to read aloud here!
After Yesenin's homeland, you can go to the goal of your trip - to Ryazan. Ryazan is famous for its Kremlin. And if some cities in Russia call one wall and a couple of buildings that way, then in Ryazan the Kremlin really survived. The Ryazan Kremlin complex, which is now called a museum, has several exhibition halls, a functioning temple and a bell tower. Restoration work is still underway in the Kremlin, so some of the buildings are closed. Along the Kremlin wall there is a pedestrian zone overlooking the river, where you can take a walk by river tram during the navigation season.
By the way, Ryazan is striking in its size, it is not a provincial city at all, but a modern metropolis with a developed infrastructure. Tourists are always welcome here. Therefore, there are no problems with hotels and restaurants in the city center.
