The area was very beautiful, but beware if you think you can manage without a tour guide. Practically no one knows english, and over 95% of signs are in russian only. We booked 2 tours for the Kremlin but werent even able to find the gathering point where the tour was supposed to begin, because there were no signs or... More

What can you say? This is a huge volume of Russian history. So if you like to look or to hear about historical events - this is a place to go. Also you can find there rare collections of jewellery, art, furniture, etc.

I never knew how huge of a complex the Kremlin was. I always imagined it would be something like the US Capitol. It's a city to itself. Make sure you visit the cathedrals.

I'll let others tell you about what's inside the Kremlin, but outside it's walls, the Alexander Gardens are just delightful to stroll around. There is the flame for the unknown soldier there, some fountains, lots of areas to stroll around, with spectacular views. The fountains around the colonnade area are beautiful. There is a McDonald's and a Sbarro restaurant/cafeteria there,... More

Book a private tour to skip the long lines and get the full explanation of the diamonds, precious jewels, crown jewels and royal clothing. While the churches within the Kremlin are interesting, the most fascinating is the huge collection of royal jewels, crowns, throne chairs, carriages, coronation clothing, armoury, Faberge eggs and the like. It's the best display of the... More

Most of the places to go in Moscow are located close by to this place. You could just walk around from different touristic spot but if you are planning to do so in winter, do wear more as the winter here is unforgiving

Make sure you get here in time to get a good spot for the military parade which takes place every day at 12, well worth seeing!

come here on a day when you have a lot of energy and patience! it is kind of a pain to get in (line up, and in my case, refusal to give me the student price due to lack of ISIC card....even though almost everywhere else in Moscow accepted my University of Toronto student card). there are also airport style...
