The Kremlin is the oldest part of Moscow, a citadel in the centre of the city, where Tzars used to have their residences and where the office of the President of the Russian Federation is located.
The Armoury Chamber collection is based on the royal treasury and contains regalia, thrones, carriages, dresses, jewelry and arms.
* On a high season the Armoury should be booked well in advance. But even if you are late - we still have some other interesting things to show you instead.
