The Moscow Kremlin is a sprawling fortified complex at the heart of the city, encompassing palaces, cathedrals, and government buildings. As the official residence of the President of Russia, it remains a living seat of power. Visitors can tour the Armoury Chamber, home to tsarist treasures, and the Diamond Fund exhibition. The complex's cathedrals, including the Dormition, Archangel, and Annunciation, feature stunning frescoes and iconostases. The Kremlin's red brick walls and towers, along with Ivan the Great's Bell Tower, dominate the Moscow skyline.

  • See the Tsar Cannon and Tsar Bell, two massive but never-used artifacts.
  • Visit the Armoury Chamber to view imperial regalia, Fabergé eggs, and coronation robes.
  • Walk through Cathedral Square to admire the trio of historic cathedrals.
