Together with red square this one is a must-see. Some queueing necessary before entering and don't forget to ditch your bag in the locker room (downstairs) ... this prevents you having to walk back. Kremlin walls and the towers are very impressive !

You cannot come to Moscow and not go to the Kremlin. It is just breathtaking as a site. A walk around a place steeped in history. Magic!

Should visit with a guide or someone experienced to sum up the most important aspects of the Kremlin and its grounds. There are so many interesting things to see and hear about! The Tsar Canon, Cathedral of the Assumption and many more! Would advise all tourists to visit the Kremlin and its grounds.

You can follow the walls of the Kremlin from both inside and outside the compound. When doing this outside you can complete the full tour round but its not possible from the inside as many areas are restricted. We did both and you get a different perspective from each. It's fantastic from the outside and as many people have commented,... More

I'm not sure exactly what to call them but to the right of the guards there are monuments to the various soviet battles. Each of them has dirt from the specific battlefield in them.

We visited on a beautiful, warm spring day. The gardens provided a colourful background to the fabulous buildings, gleaming gold in the sunlight. A remarkable experience and so much to see both inside and out.

Red Square at night, the lights of GUM or a daylight wander around the grounds, palaces and churches of the Kremlin: be sure to take your time. You can easily spend a day in this place.

When you walk around this building you reolise the sheer vastness of The Kremlin and the collection of Diamonds is something else.

You can see them from the Red Square, from a cruise on the Moskva (recommended) and from many other places around. They are nice, and full of history but go inside the Kremlin, you'll have other views of them and discover very interesting churches and museums too!

The walls and towers are a huge landmark, visible from far away. I highly recommend taking note of them.
