12 Days Solo Backpacking in Summer Russia (Trans-Siberia Train Ride)

Moscow City Day-Tour 3rd Part; Inside the Kremlin

I did a brief visit to Izmailovsky Kremlin and Cosmonautics Museum. Cheap matryoshka dolls (russian nesting doll) in Izmailovsky Kremlin Market as low as 150 Rubles ($2.5). Photography is allowed inside. Opens daily from 0900H to 1800H, no entrance fee, nearest subway is Partizanskaya Metro Station (blue line 3). For Cosmonautics Museum, entrance fee is 480 Rubles ($8.5) including the photography/amateur video permit. Opens daily from 1000H to 1800H, nearest subway is VDNKh Metro Station (orange line 6).

Izmailovsky Kremlin is another Moscow Kremlin located out of the mainstream tourist path. Here one can find Tsar`s Palace; the Church of St. Nicholas, the highest wooden church in Russia (46 m/151 ft in height); museums, cafes, souvenir shops etc.
