Has anyone been to (Veliky) Novgorod near St Petersburg and Suzdal near Moscow in Russia? It looks to me from photos that Suzdal might be a more charming place to visit and wanted to verify this with someone who has seen both...
Also, if there is someone who has spent some time or visited both St Petersburg and Moscow and would be willing to talk with me a little over email or phone, please let me know. I'm living in Seattle and planning a trip next summer with a friend or two.
Thanks very much,
Andrew
