Very nice place :-) lecturers of history is super. But you need book in advance in tourist center. And spend some time , better plan 2h or 3h , even lecture is 1h only . By fact it Will be 2h of very interesting adventure.

I never thought Russia had such a monument in respect of friendship and great history with Lithuania. Cpaciba!

One of the most oldest Cathedral in Russia. It is not that big but beautiful. Inside the Cathedral, We can feel Old atmosphere. Orthodox is quite interesting comparing with other Protestant Church or Catholic Church. Anyway it was beautiful Church. Stongly recommend to go here. Entrance is surely free.

The oldest monastery in Russia by the Volkhov River, reserving the information of medieval Novgorod.

El pabellón de las Facetas, edificio histórico del siglo xv en el interior del Kremlin de Novgorod. Aunque no se puede ingresar es un interesante lugar si gusta de la historia. (Translated by Google) The Pavilion of Facets, a historical building from the 15th century inside the Novgorod Kremlin. Although you cannot enter it, it is an interesting place if you like history.

Old place , very rarely open in good weather only. Has fresk of Feofan Greek. In reality the problem is groups with lecturers , entering without queue and any legal permission. You may wait useless fir 2h or more. But people is nice , and you can really enjoy view.

(Translated by Google) The belfry of the St. Sophia Cathedral is a cultural heritage site. The first mention was in 1437 (collapse into the Volkhov River due to a flood). There is a legend that when Ivan the Terrible was crossing the bridge over the river, the bell ringer rang the bells so hard that he frightened the king's horse, which reared up and threw the king off. For this, all the ears of the bell were cut off, leaving only the middle one. It was severely damaged during the Great Patriotic War. During the evacuation of the bells during the bombing, the barge with the three largest bells was smashed by a direct hit. The bells sank to the bottom of the river. Restored in 2007-2009. We visited the belfry at the end of June 2020; no excursions were conducted. A visit to the belfry, a climb to the observation deck and a walk along the Kremlin’s Battle Course - ticket 300 rubles. The ticket office also gives out a booklet with a map of the Kremlin and Dvorishche. There is a beautiful view of the Volkhov River, the interior of the Kremlin and Yaroslav’s Courtyard. (Original) Звонница Софийского собора является объектом культурного наследия. Первое упоминание в 1437 году (обрушение в реку Волхов в связи с наводнением). Существует легенда, что когда Иван Грозный переправлялся по мосту через реку - звонарь так сильно бил в колокола, что испугал царского коня, который встал на дыбы и сбросил царя. За это колоколу отрубили все уши, оставив только средний. Сильно пострадала в годы Великой Отечественной войны. Во время эвакуации колоколов при бомбежке баржу с тремя самыми большими колоколами разбило прямым попаданием. Колокола ушли на дно реки. Реставрировалась в 2007-2009 году. Мы посещали звонницу в конце июня 2020 года, никакие экскурсии не проводились. Посещение звонницы, подъем на смотровую площадку и прогулка по Боевому ходу Кремля - билет 300 рублей. В кассе также выдают буклет с картой Кремля и Дворища. Открывается красивый вид на реку Волхов, внутреннюю часть Кремля и Ярославово дворище.

The origin of Russian Democracy. According to explanation, Novgorod people gathered alongside of the Nicholas Cathedral wall and discussed things. People who have the highest voice won the discuss. They discussed policy and had had the right to elect Prince, Politicians, etc. They had a right to impeach, and Polticians had to 'serve' for the people. Interesting stories comparing with current Russian Politic. Russians are really proud of this history and they believe 'Coming together', 'Share and discuss idea', and even Communisitic idea came from this history. Interesting.

There is No English At All. Everything is Russian. But seeing the pictures, I can feel what they want to say. Novgorod was once Hanseatic hub in Moscow, and it was described as 'Window to Europe' at that time.(I am exchange student of Saint-Petersburg, and it was quite interesting to hear that). On the first floor, there are some ruins, things that are historical. We can see how they lived, what was the territory, and how they prospered. And there are ruins that say they were Hanseatic hub. Interesting. On the 2nd floor, we can see Icon(Икон). According to explanation, because Novgorod was not conquered by Mongolian invasion, there are lots of pieces made in since 11th century(?). And there is also some pieces that portrayed World War 2. For student, it is 180rubs on the board explanation. But they demaned 120rubs to me. I don't know why but maybe it was holiday(?)...

This composer is one of my favourite composers apart from Liszt, Chopin and Beethoven. When I look at Rachmaninoff, it makes me think of all the pieces he wrote, such as Italian Polka and Moment Musical no.4 in E minor. THANKS

Extremely helpful staff and English speaking...she went on to register me on Russian railway website and then book us a ticket for our journey...also they offer good excursion tours and sell some soveiners and crafts
