Russia is one of the most fascinating countries in the world. Though yet to become a developed tourist country, it has tremendous natural beauty, diversity and historical and cultural traditions. The national language is Russian, which is a Slavic language related to Polish, Czech, Slovak, Bulgarian and some others. The best way to travel and avoid traffic jams is to use the subway called the Metro. The system is clean and inexpensive and many of the stations are architectural masterpieces. Besides the two major cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg, there are many other cities and villages with splendid architectural and cultural traditions here. Cities of the "Golden Ring" close to the capital are Suzdal, Vladimir, Kostroma, Ivanovo, Sergiev Posad, Rostov Veliky, Yaroslavl and Pereslavl Zalessky.
