The description of the flag, approved by the decision of the Council of People's Deputies of the municipality "City of Suzdal" dated July 22, 2003 No. 59 [2] , read:

At the end of the XVII - beginning of the XVIII centuries there was a metropolis in Suzdal, until the end of the XIX century - a diocese .
Modern Suzdal is a city-museum with developed tourism: about 300 monuments of Russian architecture of the XIII – XIX centuries are preserved in the city.
