Day 2: The Kremlin

Day 2: The Kremlin

After a good breakfast we were ready for a city walk. We toke the Metro to the Kremlin, from where we walked the few meters to the Puschkin Theater. No question, that white building with its big pillars is really stunning. Afterward we were heading to the red square. Unfortunately more than half of the red square was barred and a big stands were blocking the nice view on the Kremlin.

Finally it was time to visit the main attraction of Moscow, the Kremlin. And to be honest, it was a little bit of a challenge to get in the Kremlin. Our guide book mentioned it not with a single word that there is a main entrance at the Alexanders Park. So we were struggling around for more than an hour until we found the gate. But it wasn’t done yet, we had to buy a ticket for the Kremlin. Thanks god the ticked office was close by and easy to find. Now the Kremlin inside has some very nice churches and it was great to have a walk around.

The last attraction of that day was the Arbat, a nice road with street cafes and a wide range of different street artists. We enjoyed the flair and had a relaxing café and cake with some doves at the Starbucks.

First day: Moscow

First day: Moscow

Here we are. We arrived today noon at Moscow Domodedove airport. From there we toke the airport train into the city and the metro to the hotel. And our first impression of Moscow was to enter one of these classical old buildings from the Lenin-era, which was our hotel. But we didn’t lose much time. After a short break we went straight into down-down to see the Kremlin. It was very impressive to see the red walls shining in the light of the sunset. Unfortunately the red square was closed, because some event happened there in the evening, so we moved on to visit the shopping male GUM. Gum is one of the oldest shopping males right next to the red square.
