Gold ring on the Internet
You can now get acquainted with the main sights of the Golden Ring of Russia without leaving your home. It is enough to have a laptop and Internet access.

You can find spherical panoramas of the Golden Ring of Russia on the World Around website. Also, unfortunately, not all cities. But you can find most of the attractions on this resource. For example, there is the Kremlin of Suzdal (the Bishops' Chambers, the Nativity Cathedral, the wooden Nikolskaya Church), the Church of Tsarevich Dmitry in Uglich.
