“Despite the queues, a very worthwhile experience”

Yes, there was a queue and the officals were not too friendly but aren't there queues at most famous sites? About a twenty minute wait but worth it. The Kremlin was not how I imagined, so much more peaceful and with such impressive buildings. An interesting place to walk around and despite not being religious in the slightest, the churches... more

We arrived at the Kremlin early in an attempt to beat the queues, but found that there was already huge queues outside. But still managed to buy a couple of tickets easily enough and joined the queue.

The Kremlin can be reached by busses 2, 44 and 16. It is close to Metro Station Ploshchad Revolyutski and inside Red Square. When you enter Red Square, you will see probably see two men, one dressed as Lenin, one as Stalin, who will let you take their photo with you for a few rubles. To their left is a... more

First off, the attractions within the Kremlin walls are highly interesting and pretty BUT after arranging and paying for advance tickets they still make you wait for many hours outside in the open regardless of the weather in order to get to their metal detector-gates which are manned by blank faced, slow moving soldiers who definitely are in no hurry... more
