“Tons of Russian History, but a bit confusing”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 15, 2012

I have to agree with other reviewers that the ticketing system is horribly confusing, but the cathedrals in the Kremlin are pretty spectacular when you put the age and history all together. Besides the ticketing being confusing, a good map would help and some signage on where things are, and how to get in to things, as well as what's... More

“Not too unique”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 8, 2012

I've been to many cities in Europe and found the Kremlin to be a bit disappointing. There isn't anything very unique to recommend it, and the churches all look the same to me. Not sure if the palace is ever open to tourists, but when we went (during Putin's re-election ceremony weekend), we couldn't see much. Diamond museum within the... More

“Empire ruins”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed May 7, 2012

Crazy security and police does not give to look what you want. You can see only some small part of historical heritage of all inhabitants of Russia. It is created full of feeling of a totaltarizm of Russia More

“Must see symbol of Moscow”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 3, 2012

A visit inside the Kremlin walls could be easily combined with the visit to the Red Square. Inside the Kremlin walls you can have a walk and see The Tsar (King) Bell and the Tsar (King) Cannon - highly recommended, visit the the Armoury Chamber (collection of gold- and silverware, arms and armouries, royal carriages etc) and the Diamond Fund...

“Cathedrals in the Kremlin”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 2, 2012

person found this review helpful

The ticket office is some distance from the entrance. Be careful what you are buying. The Armoury is the most expensive but the cathedrals only ticket is cheaper. Surprisingly the visit to this centre of communist power is really to a group of cathedrals and a museum in the Patriarch's palace. These are all impressive, in the height of the... More

“Amazing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 29, 2012

Incredible experience, but I think having a guide beforehand is really a must. We used Bridge to Moscow and our guide, Mikhail was a invaluable resource. Too much to describe here, but do not miss the Kremlin More
