There are countless exhibits and attractions within the Kremlin that can easily occupy a full day: The Diamond Fund and the Armory showcase artifacts from the empire, while the fortified wall alone is already very interesting.

Kremlin
In the heart of Moscow lies the center of power in Russia: The Moscow Kremlin. Historically, it has been the seat of all ecclesiastical and secular power holders since the 15th century. The boundary wall of the castle along the Moskva River has 20 towers and, with its numerous palaces, churches, and museums, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990.More Information & tickets

Red Square
Like the Kremlin, the Red Square is also on this list and is probably the most important sight of Moscow next to the Kremlin. A visit to the Red Square and taking part in a guided tour can be ideally combined with a visit to the Kremlin, as both top attractions of Moscow are right next to each other.More Information & tickets

Bolshoi Theatre
Worth seeing: The former residence of an industrialist, which today exhibits art, as well as the associated gardens with fountains, sculptures and private sea access! In the otherwise postmodern Miami, the Villa Vizcaya Museum is an interesting attraction for everyone who is interested in classical-modern art and architecture in the style of the neo-Renaissance.More Information & tickets

Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines
Historically interesting not only for gamers and rather a secret tip: The private museum displays arcade machines produced in the Soviet Union from the 1970s onwards, which were mostly electromechanically operated and enthralled in the local arcades. Lovingly curated, the collection of the small museum already includes over 40 such machines!Kremlin in Izmailovo

Kremlin in Ismailovo
The other Kremlin is a leisure area in the northeast of Moscow, which was built until 2007 in the style of the 17th century. Here, there is a vodka and a fairy tale museum, craft markets, restaurants, and shops.More Information & tickets
