Day two is Bogolyubovo in the morning, while the meadow is quiet, and the History Museum in the centre after lunch. ## How to get to the Intercession on the Nerl Bus 152 from the Golden Gate or Cathedral Square to Bogolyubovo takes 20–30 minutes; then walk 1.5 km across the meadow. In spring floods the meadow can be under water — check before you go. ## Vladimir and Suzdal Suzdal is 35 km away and often combined with Vladimir. If you would rather have Suzdal than day two, take the Suzdal one-day route. ## Tips - In spring floods the meadow at the Intercession on the Nerl is under water — check in spring. - Inside the Intercession church visitors are let in during the day; there is no published schedule. - The History Museum is closed on Wednesdays; ticket office until 17:30. - Dress modestly for working churches; women need a headscarf. - Russia uses the rouble (₽). Bank cards issued abroad usually do not work in Russia — plan how you will pay before the trip; for the metro, buy a Troika card at the ticket office. ## Questions ### Is 2 days in Vladimir enough?
