A mighty symbol of Russia's imperialistic and religious history, not to mention its tendency for grandeur, the Moscow Kremlin may never have been as impressive as it is today, full of invaluable national treasures, opulent interiors, and majestic structures.
Although the majority of the Kremlin is closed off to visitors, the remaining open structures will more than satisfy, including its interesting and world-scale museums, and various parts of its compound, including parts of the citadel, Cathedral of the Assumption (Moscow's oldest and most impressive orthodox church) and the Patriarch's Palace, founded early in the 14th-century.
Stationed in a beautiful 19th-century building with the intention of housing the tsar's treasures, the Armory now inhabits a part of this magnificent complex, taking two floors and carefully decorated with ornamented columns. It is filled with an impressive collection of carriages, armor, weaponry and important Russian relics, accrued over many eras.

Situated atop the Borovitskiy Hill above the Moscow River, the Kremlin is located at the very center of Moscow. Getting there is quite easy provided you have survival knowledge of Russian. By metro there are a dozen stations within walking distance of the complex, with Borovitskaya (Боровицкая) and Biblioteka imeni Lenina (Библиоте́ка и́мени Ле́нина) being the closest.
