  • 5/5 Albert P. 9 years ago on Google • 194 reviews
    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.

  • 5/5 Santosh D. 8 months ago on Google • 479 reviews
    On one of the most famous and largest streets in Moscow, the courtyard of the Zvenigorod Savvino-Storozhevsky monastery is hidden, built in a pseudo-Russian style with elements of modern and baroque. Previously, when walking in the center, it was hard not to notice one of the main decorations of Tverskaya, but in 1939 it was hidden from view. An interesting story is connected with its movement: the building, which weighed 24 tons, was moved deeper into the quarter at night - rails were laid under the foundation and smoothly transported to a new location. At the same time, the residents were not relocated and were not even specially warned. It is said that many of them discovered the change only in the morning, looking out of the window, and must have been very surprised at the unexpected move.

    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.

    Historical place. Old monastery and a church. Has coffee shop near entrance that serves good food, russian herbal drink. You can also buy lots of herbs and herbal remedies, as well as creams and tinctures. Very crowded on weekend, during weekdays more quiet.

  • 5/5 D. A. 7 years ago on Google • 95 reviews
    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.

(Original) Очень доброе место для поломника и отдыхающего. Ежедневные службы в двух Храмах. Источник и купель. Свежеиспечённый хлеб. Потрясающие виды. Чистый воздух. Отсутствие суеты.

  • 5/5 Наталья �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A must-see. To see with your own eyes and listen to the story. Walk to the skete. (Original) Обязательно к посещению. Чтобы посмотреть своими глазами и послушать историю. Дойти до скита.

  • 5/5 Влада �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A chamber, like a fairytale, the monastery creates a feeling of touching living history. The panorama that opens from the observation deck is simply breathtaking! (Original) Камерный, словно сказочный, монастырь создает ощщущение прикосновения к живой истории. От открывающейся со смотровой площадки панорамы просто захватывает дух!

  • 5/5 Олег �. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Natalia L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A beautiful monastery, well-groomed area, all planted with flowers. There is a shop on the territory of the monastery where you can buy delicious pastries. Behind the monastery you can walk along the field. (Original) Красивый монастырь, ухоженная территория, вся усажена цветами. На территории монастыря имеется магазин, где можно купить вкусную выпечку. За монастырем можно прогуляться по полю.

  • 5/5 Е �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A unique place of grace, conducive to prayer. (Original) Уникальное Благодатное место располагающее к молитве.

  • 5/5 Света �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) An active monastery, so come up with a dress code in advance. Traditionally, there is a church where you can venerate the relics of St. Sava, a church shop, where you can buy candles, order treasures, and purchase church goods. Delicious pastries and monastery bread in the shop at the entrance. For holy water (you can take it in the temple or go down to the source of St. Sava) take a container. If you are more interested in history and architecture, I recommend you come here with a guide. Tune in to the XII, IV, VII centuries. Visit the royal chambers and hear about the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich. I have been to this place three times already, and anyway, every time I come here again, mentally and calmly here. (Original) Действующий мужской монастырь, поэтому придумайте заранее форму одежды. Традиционно работает храм,где можно приложиться к мощам Св. Саввы, церковная лавка, где можно купить свечи, заказать требы, приобрести церковные товары. Очень вкусная выпечка и монастырский хлеб в лавке у входа. Для святой воды (можно взять набрать в храме или спуститься к источнику Св. Саввы) возьмите тару. Если больше интересуетесь историей и архитектурой,то рекомендую придти сюда с экскурсоводом. Настраиаайтесь на XII, IV, VII века. Посетите царские палаты и послушайте про царствование Алексея Михайловича. Была в этом месте уже три раза и всё равно с удовольствием каждый раз приезжаю сюда опять-душевно и спокойно здесь.

  • 3/5 Алексей �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We arrived there for a walk in winter. It looks like in most similar places in terms of architecture, but almost everywhere there is an inscription "no move", the price tag for the same bread in the local store is huge and there is a paid entrance to the inspection of the chambers with some kind of insane price tag. Because of this, the sediment remained unpleasant. (Original) Приехали туда зимой погулять. С виду как и в большинстве подобных мест в плане архитектуры, но почти по всюду надписи "хода нет", ценник на тот же хлеб в местном магазине огромный и платный вход на осмотр палат с каким то невменяемым ценником. Из за этого осадок остался неприятным.

  • 5/5 Svetlana G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) My favorite holy place. Magnificent monastery located in a quiet, secluded location. Inside there is an ensemble of churches, and in the center, like a heart, there is a golden-domed church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, preserved from the 14th century. The relics of the Monk Sava, the founder of the monastery, rest here. (Original) Моё либимое святое место. Великолепный монастырь, расположенный в тихом, уединенном месте. Внутри - ансамбль церквей, а в центре, как сердце, расположен златоглавый храм Рождества Пресвятой Богородицы, сохранившийся с 14в. Здесь почивают мощи преподобного Саввы, основателя монастыря.

    (Translated by Google) Not the first time in this place. Really like. Quiet ... calmly ... sorry, I didn't have time to visit the skete where Savva the Watchman prayed ... I advise everyone. Probably the best time to visit during the week ... (Original) Не первый раз в этом месте. Очень нравится. Тихо...спокойно...жаль, не успела побывать в скиту , где молился Савва Сторожевой... Всем советую. Наверное самое хорошее время посещения среди недели...

  • 5/5 Елена �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Pearl of Zvenigorod! An incredibly beautiful place. The monastery is on a hill, the views are wonderful. Well-groomed area. It seems that there are always people, but there is no unnecessary fuss. Everyone has time to light a candle, inspect the temple, and sit in the refectory, and collect holy water. There is a font, you can plunge. Delicious bread, kvass. Yesterday at the service the three monks sang so well. Delight of the soul! (Original) Жемчужина Звенигорода! Невероятно красивое место. Монастырь на возвышенности, виды открываются замечательные. Ухоженная территория. Вроде и народ всегда есть, но нет суеты ненужной. Все успевают, и свечку поставить, и осмотреть храм, и в трапезной посидеть, и воды святой набрать. Есть купель, можно окунуться. Очень вкусный хлеб, квас. Вчера на службе как же хорошо пели три монаха. Восторг души!

    (Translated by Google) The territory of the monastery is not large. Despite this, it houses a church, a bell tower, a museum, souvenir shops and a tower that houses a cafe and a shop selling bread and delicious pastries. Also, next to the bell tower, you can pour water from the source. In a kilometer from the monastery there is a skete, where there is a font for ablutions. (Original) Территория монастыря не большая.
