Great place . Amazing views !!!! Recommend .
Great place to spend at least half a day while visiting Zvenigorod. Beautiful scenery, history linked monastery, plenty of exhibition places, nice stylish canteen.
Strongly recommend.
Чудесное место. У источника очень богатая на выпечку чайная и благоустроенная территория. Все продумано. Ансамбль самого монастыря позволяет окунуться на несколько веков назад.
A must-see place for any tourist traveling around Moscow. But do not come here on weekends and church holidays, for crowds will ruin one's experience. If you are lucky, a monk may allow you to come up the bell tower. The view is magnificent. The sound is deafening.
Интересное место для досуга, приличная площадь для парковки и в выходные вся битком. Посетили собор, памятник преп. Савве, церковную лавку, исторический музей, кафе в провиантской башне монастыря, прошлись по стене. Есть интересный магазинчик с настойками и травами для любителей гомеопатии.
The place is well-suited both for pilgrims and for tourists. They even have free wi-fi, special app for visitors available for iOS and Android as well, and the food is dietetical and tasty at the same time.
As for the architecture, there are several buildings highly valuable from the historical and the aesthetical point of view.
To cut the story short, just come and see it for yourself.
Monastery is ok, but you will find inside the walls a pearl, a bakery shop and a café with amazing pastry,cakes,chocolates, 100% handmade and fresh. Very tasty everything. Queue of ppl to buy bread, etc But it's worth to do it. It's cheap. Shop and café (you can eat everything you can buy in shop here) has amazing decoration, medieval style. Café is located upstairs, just in one of the towers and a door brings you directly to the walls really beautiful place to eat/drink/rest.
