Enjoy a daytrip to one of Russia's most ancient cities, Novgorod. View historically and architecturally significant monuments, including the 11th-century St. Sophia Cathedral and the old market place. Enjoy a traditional Russian lunch in the grounds of the Novgorod Kremlin.

Built on the trade route between central Asia and northern Europe, Novgorod was Russia's first capital during the ninth century. Surrounded by churches and monasteries, it was once also considered a spiritual centre and medieval monuments and frescoes still stand as a testament to its architectural development. Visit the Novgorod Kremlin, the old market place on the banks of the River Volkhov, the Church of the Saviour, and the Yuriev Monastery.
