Moscow Kremlin
Explore the historic citadel for its concentration of palaces, churches and fortified walls. Plan a focused visit rather than expecting access to every building within the complex.
The Kremlin brings several periods of Russian state history into one enclosed site above the Moskva River. Its walls separate ceremonial and religious architecture from the surrounding city. Spend time comparing the cathedral ensemble with the towers and river-facing fortifications; each explains a different part of the citadel's role.
