Short Visits
Sometimes it is only possible to take a couple of weeks to visit Kitezh. We can arrange this for you.
Visitors from Moscow who wish to visit for a few days or a weekend should arrange your trip with Katya, our representative in Moscow
kitezhcentre@yandex.ru.
Kitezh is 4 hours by car from Moscow, 6 hours by bus. Orion is closer, about two hours from Moscow by car.

“The visit to Kitezh was the highlight of the year for me. I have told so many people about it and how truly inspired I was by all that is happening there – what you are doing, how the children are flourishing, what a model it has become. It is such a wonderful place and all the arrangements from the sight-seeing in Moscow to the ride to Kitezh to the stay in the Guest House were everything I had hoped for and more.” Clare Cooper-Marcus, April 2005
