It's a long walk, and not easy to navigate, but it gives you a really clear understanding that the Kremlin was originally a fortress, and a different "gestalt" of its history. (See my review of the Kremlin).

So much history within the walls, one could only wish they could talk...I was in awe of just being within the walls and seeing the towers.

We like the view best from the foot bridge behind the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour but I'm sure there are others. Walking around the park outside the walls is great any time of day.

The Kremlin Walls are an amazing site and a key thing to see in Moscow. However do note it's not possible to actually walk on top of the walls. In many parts there is no walkway ontop and even where there is it is not open to the public. On the tour inside the Kremlin you can't actually go right... More

The Moscow Kremlin imposes a sense of awe, seen from any angle, any distance, by day or by night. Its imposing walls and towers, its stately buildings and most of all its cathedrals project a sense of history, grandeur, and magnificence, rarely seen in other seats of power, the world over. To begin with, the Moscow Kremlin is in an... More

Beautiful place, Cheap and reasonable amount of time to get through the crowd. But its a shame that hardly any signs are in english and have to get tickets from diamond fund and armoury chamber. Tickets are sold on specific time and queues are impossibly long and no-information in english. Please be prepared for unorganised, no english speaking shock when... More

The walls and tower were designed by Italian masters and are certainly unique. The 20 towers on the wall are all different and beautiful.

Walking around the wall and towers was good - lets face it if you go to the Kremlin - it must be done and it is pleasant to at least walk around a bit of it.

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!
