Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Moscow Kremlin, Moscow 103132 Russia
Meet your guide near Kremlin and then head inside at one of the earliest admission times to avoid the long entrance lines that appear later in the day. Stroll through the grounds and learn all about Moscow’s Kremlin and its history from your guide. Translating as ‘fortified stronghold,’ the Kremlin dates back to the 15th century when it started life as an imposing castle for the Russian Tsars. Centuries of battles, bloodshed, corruption and intrigue followed, and nowadays the site leads a somewhat tamer existence as the residence of the Russian president. Today Kremlin is the residence of Russian President and the main symbol of the country, revered by all of its citizens.
Duration: 5 hours
Stop At: Cathedral Square, ul. Kreml, Moscow 101000 Russia
The centre of the Moscow Kremlin is occupied by the main and most ancient square of the city – Cathedral Square, which still retains its original form – a unique complex of masterpieces of medieval architecture. Having been founded in the early XIVth century Cathedral Square saw the construction, destruction and rebuilding of churches and chambers, witnessed all the perturbations within the history of the Russian State. Visit the Assumption Cathedral – the oldest church in the Kremlin and also the most important: the seat of the Russian Orthodox Church was transferred here from Vladimir in 1326. The building is simple and austere – a vaulted limestone block topped by five golden cupolas. The gabled frescoes on the east and west faces were added in the 1660s, and otherwise, the exterior has remained almost unchanged to this day.

Duration: 1 hour
