Pourquoi visiter Veliky Novgorod ?

Veliky Novgorod is one of the oldest cities in Russia, set on the Volkhov River just north of Lake Ilmen. For centuries it was a rich trading republic linked to the Hanseatic merchants of northern Europe, and its medieval churches and monasteries are listed by UNESCO as the Historic Monuments of Novgorod and Surroundings. The city is calm, green and easy to explore on foot.

Start inside the red-brick walls of the Kremlin, known locally as the Detinets. Here stands St Sophia Cathedral, built in the eleventh century and one of the oldest churches in Russia, next to the large Millennium of Russia monument from 1862. Cross the footbridge to Yaroslav's Court, where small white churches line the riverbank. Just outside the centre, the Vitoslavlitsy open-air museum gathers wooden churches and farmhouses from the region, and the Yuriev Monastery sits by the lake. Archaeologists here have found more than a thousand medieval letters written on birch bark, some shown in the city museum. Fast trains from St Petersburg take about three hours, so many visitors come for one or two nights. The best time is from May to September. Before you travel, check your government's current travel advice and visa rules, and note that foreign Visa and Mastercard cards do not work in Russia.
