You can see the gleaming gold domes from across the city, and the close-up experience doesn't disappoint! Fabulous place, made all the more remarkable by the fact that it was demolished in 1933 and then rebuilt after the fall of comunism!

From my first to my last glimpses on my Moscow adventure, the bright domes of this cathedral have captured my imagination, like a tiny bit of gaudi's spirit made it to russia!

My husband and I loved this gallery, such a great collection of Russian art. As always, I liked the sculptures the best but the graphic artworks caught my eye too.

Since seeing these magnificent domes on QI's opening credits i've wanted to visit and I was not disappointed. The exterior I could have looked at all day. Inside isn't so fantastic as it's largely small corridors and small chapels but they haev their own charms. And you can look at the outside for free whenever you go past!

You can't really argue with a place so grand that once was home to Ivan the Terrible can you? The Kremlin is amazing, so much to see. The amount of gold on the domes and churches has to be seen to be believed. Highlights were the Annunciation Cathedral and the Armoury Palace.
