Suzdal

July 16 - Cucumber Day.A funny holiday, based on the fact that Suzdal's cucumbers have a reputation as the best cucumbers in central Russia.This holiday is celebrated with a folk music festival.

Walk on Kamenka River

In winter months, when the river is frozen, do walk the length of the river. This is the lifeline of the city and you will see sleighs being pulled and men ice-fishing in the river. It is a beautiful way to see the city.

Carriage/Sleigh Ride

A carriage or sleigh ride through Suzdal is a memorable though expensive experience. The young men offering the rides may be found everywhere, and they start their negotiations with very steep prices RUR 3,000 / .5 hr. You should be able to negotiate down to RUR 500 or thereabouts, depending on the season. Also, shorter rides can be negotiated.
