There are a lot of details to consider before going to see the Crown Jewels.

This section will provide information about the best times to visit, how to get here, and what to expect.

For more details, make sure to read our post about visiting the Tower of London .

Summer Hours (June 1st – September 18th)

• 9:00 – 17:30 (5:30 pm)

Winter Hours

• 9:00 – 16:30 (4:30 pm)

Best Times to Visit

Some visitors recommend getting there as early as possible and heading straight to the Crown Jewels.

Due to their popularity, the only way to ensure you won't be waiting in line for a while is to get there while the crowds are still relatively small.

Consider arriving at the Tower of London right when it opens and doing your best to see this attraction between the hours of 9 am - 10 am .

To save time, consider an early bird tour that gets you into the Tower of London and the Crown Jewels before the general public.

Several guests also indicate you'll run into fewer crowds during weekday mornings than during the weekend.

They also note that weather can play a factor, as people are far less likely to visit the Tower of London on a rainy day than when the sun is out. 

What to Expect

Most people who choose to visit the Tower of London will spend at least 15-30 minutes in line waiting to see the Crown Jewels.

Plan on setting aside at least 45-60 minutes for the entire experience.

Many visitors recommend setting aside at least 3 hours to see the entirety of the Tower of London.

Several guests note that even that might not be enough time for everything, so prepare for the possibility that you will spend up to 5 hours at this landmark.

Please keep in mind that you will not be able to take any photographs while visiting the Crown Jewels. Cameras are strictly forbidden and visitors are not allowed to take pictures.

Be aware that guards may try to stop you if any attempt is made to use a camera or snap a shot of this exhibit.

WHAT ARE THE CROWN JEWELS?

One of the most enduring symbols of Monarchy, and the centrepiece of the Royal Collection, in the United Kingdom is the Crown Jewels and no visit to London should be undertaken without a visit to see this most stunning of collections.

The Jewels have been available for the public to observe for centuries and millions have traveled from around the world just to see these most remarkable creations. 

More than just a collection of crowns, the Crown Jewels actually encompass present and past crowns belonging to Sovereigns, Consorts, and Princes of Wales, scepters, rings, swords, orbs, spurs, robes, bracelets, and gold and silver plates!  

The ceremonial and symbolic objects used during the coronations of British Kings and Queens are collectively known as the Regalia.

Not just used for their beauty, these are the most treasured and revered items in the Crown Jewels, as these are the pieces that are used in the centuries-old coronation ceremonies.

The Jewels are the most powerful symbols of Monarchy, although technically they do not belong to the royal family but to the nation - and they hold both cultural and religious significance.

It is lucky that the jewels are on display today as throughout their history they have variously been lost (by King John in 1216), used as collateral (by Edward III in the 1370s), pawned (by the wife of King Charles I in the 1640s), broken down and sold during the English Civil War (by Oliver Cromwell), and nearly stolen (by Colonel Thomas Blood in 1671)!

The majority of the pieces on display today date from the 17 th century.

In 1660 King Charles II had a new set of Royal Regalia made – the ones on display today – however, there is one artifact that dates from before this time: the 12 th century Anointing Spoon (sometimes referred to as the coronation spoon) – still used in coronation ceremonies today.

When Charles commissioned the Crown Jewels, he spent the princely sum of £13,000.00 (around £1 million in today’s money).

He also spent a further £18,000 to create a set of banqueting plates and a golden altar, as well as a baptism font.

There are actually two baptism fonts held at the Tower of London today.

The first is the original commissioned by King Charles II but the second dates from the reign of Queen Victoria.

King Charles II is particularly notable for his string of mistresses and illegitimate children, many of whom he officially acknowledged and had baptised in the royal font.

Queen Victoria, a staunchly conservative woman, refused to have any of her children baptized in the same font as Charles II’s ‘bastards’ so she insisted that a new one, known as the Lily Font, be created just for her family!

Historically, the Jewels were kept behind bars and visitors were able to put their hands through the railings and touch the Jewels! Today, of course, such easy access to the Jewels is strictly prohibited.

Visitors to the Tower wishing to see the Crown Jewels will find them in the Jewel House currently in use, dating from 1994.

Visitors enter through vault doors containing electronic beams and steel shutters. The vault doors are said to be able to withstand a nuclear bomb blast!

All the jewels on display are resting on French velvet, and are kept behind 2in (51mm) thick shatter-proof glass and filtered air circulates in the cases that hold the Jewels.

Note that Scotland has their own Crown Jewels, kept at Edinburgh Castle , known as the Honours of Scotland. The collection includes a crown (made for King James V), a sceptre and a sword of state. The Honours were sealed away somewhere inside the castle after the union of Scotland and England and, eventually, their whereabouts were forgotten. They were uncovered in 1818 by Sir Walter Scott.

At one time, there were state Jewels of Ireland but these were stolen in 1907 and never recovered.

The following list highlights the most famous pieces of royal regalia, explaining what they are and how they are used.

St Edward’s Crown  

Dating from 1661, and considered the principal piece of the Regalia, this is the crown that is worn at the moment the monarch is crowned in Westminster Abbey.

The crown is named after Edward the Confessor and its’ last usage was at the coronation of our current King Charles III in May 2023.

This is the crown used as a symbol by the King and is the one depicted in coats of arms, badges, money, and other insignias (including the side of our famous red telephone boxes!) throughout the entire Commonwealth.

Weighing nearly 5 lbs, Queen Victoria chose not to be crowned with St. Edward’s because of the weight!

The Imperial State Crown  

This is easily the most famous piece of the Crown Jewels.

The Imperial State Crown dates from 1937 and is still used today – this being the crown that the Sovereign wears each year at the State Opening of Parliament.

The Crown consists of a purple velvet cap with an ermine border and holds 2,868 diamonds, 273 pearls, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds, and 5 rubies.

The Crown famously is also home to Cullinan II (a cut of the largest diamond ever found at 3,106 carats and cut into 9 different pieces!), St. Edward’s Sapphire (thought to date from 1042), and the Black Prince’s Ruby (thought to date from the 14 th  century and weighing in at 170 carats).

The Crown of Queen Elizabeth , the Queen Mother

Made for Queen Elizabeth, the wife of King George VI in 1937 (our current King’s grandparents), the Crown of Queen Elizabeth was the first crown for a British consort made out of platinum. 

The arches on this crown are detachable so that it may be worn as a circlet instead (as she wore it during the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II).

It is set with 2,800 diamonds and holds the most famous diamond in the Royal Regalia: the Koh-i-Noor .

Previously the largest known diamond, originating in India and coming in at 793 carats uncut, visitors come from around the world simply to see this stunning diamond.

The Crown of Queen Mary

Originally created for Mary of Teck, wife of King George V, in 1911, the Crown of Queen Mary was designed to hold the previously mentioned Koh-i-Noor. Today, however, it contains Cullinan III, IV and V, in addition to 2,200 other diamonds. It has been used throughout the decades by various members of the royal family as a circlet.

It has been on display at the Tower of London since the death of Queen Mary in 1953. In 2023, the crown was partially altered and used for the coronation of Queen Camilla.

Sovereign’s Orb  

The Sovereign Orb weighs 42 ounces, is surrounded by pearls and gemstones, and was made for the coronation of King Charles II in 1660. 

Symbolically, the Orb represents the Monarch’s role as Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England.

The orb is placed in the Monarch’s right hand by the Archbishop of Canterbury during the coronation.

At the end of the ceremony, it is carried in the left hand, and in the right, the Sceptre [below] is held.

The Sovereign’s Sceptre with Cross  

Also known as St. Edward’s Sceptre or the Royal Sceptre, this piece holds The Star of Africa, or Cullinan I, a second cut of the same diamond found in the Imperial State Crown that was set into place in 1910.

Cullinan I, gifted to Kind Edward VII by the Transvaal Government, is still the largest colourless cut diamond in the entire world, weighing in at 530 carats.

This gem can be removed from the sceptre and worn as a broach.

See the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London

Tower hill, greater london.

See the stunning Crown Jewels on display at the historic Tower of London, and learn about their profound religious and cultural importance.

Part of Royal Collection, the Crown Jewels comprise the finest treasures of the British Monarchy – each piece possessing its own fascinating story. The original Crown Jewels were destroyed at the Tower of London after the Civil War, then remade for Charles II’s coronation in 1661 – and have had a few narrow escapes since then too. Look out for the largest colourless cut diamond in the world, the Cullinan I diamond, which was affixed to the 17th century Sovereign’s Sceptre with Cross in 1910. Imagine the weight of the solid gold St Edward's Crown, worn by The Queen at her coronation. And admire the famous Koh-i-Nûr diamond, set in the crown of the late Queen Mother. But the Tower is far from just a display cabinet for the Crown Jewels, and has its own dark history – involving torture, murder and royal execution. Not to be missed!

The Tower of London, London EC3N 4AB, ( see on Google Maps ) is located within easy walking distance of several mainline stations, including:

• 10-15 mins walk from London Bridge Station
• 20 min walk from Liverpool Street Station
• 25 min walk from London Charing Cross Station

You can also travel by river boat. Tower Pier is served by river boats travelling from various piers including Westminster and London Eye and is located next to the Tower entrance.

Visiting the Crown Jewels & Tower of London

To give you an idea, the last time we visited the Tower of London and the Crown Jewels, it took us around 3 hours and 30 minutes to see everything. It was a day that it wasn’t too busy, but we had our little ones with us, so we walked slowly… 🙂

The Crown Jewels are located in the building known as “Jewel House” (did you expect a different name?) built in 1994 on the specially restored ground floor of the Waterloo Block of the Tower of London, near the centre of the Tower, next to the Chapel of St. Peter Ad Vincula Royal. See Tower of London Map .

During your visit you will spend most of the time visiting the Tower of London and the different buildings around as visiting the Crown Jewels doesn’t take more than 20 mins approx. if it’s not too busy.

Once inside, the display is organised to follow the same order in which the jewels are used in the coronation ceremony. A slow-moving conveyor mechanism around the Jewels prevents overcrowding in front of the display cases containing the precious masterpieces. (Yes, they got tired of asking people to “keep moving, please!”).

When is the best time to visit the Crown Jewels?

This depends on the time of the year you visit. If you are visiting the Tower of London during Easter, Summer or Christmas, I recommend you arrive early, around 20 mins before they open. It´s probably best to go directly to the Crown Jewels building before visiting all the other parts of the Tower of London, as the queue to get in tends to get very long past 11 am.

If you have a choice, I would recommend going during the week and avoiding the weekend if possible.

The Crown Jewels:  A magnificent world-famous collection of 23,578 gemstones

The Crown Jewels, part of the Royal Collection, are the most powerful symbols of the British Monarchy and hold deep religious and cultural significance in our nation’s history. The mystique and beauty of the diamonds and precious jewels in the royal regalia have always held an unparalleled allure to visitors from across the globe.

From February 2020, HRH The Prince of Wales’s Investiture Coronet is on display in the Jewel House for the first time. The coronet, part of the Royal Collection, has joined the coronets of two other Princes of Wales.

For the investiture as Prince of Wales at Caernarfon Castle on 1 July 1969, Prince Charles wore the contemporary coronet designed by architect and goldsmith Louis Osman. The coronet is made of gold and platinum and set with diamonds and emeralds with a purple velvet and ermine cap of estate.

Alongside the coronet, the rod used in the 1969 investiture, previously made for the 1911 investiture, is also on display.

You’ll find the Crown Jewels under armed guard in the Jewel House at the Tower of London. These gems are a unique working collection of royal regalia and are still regularly used by royalty for important national ceremonies, such as the State Opening of Parliament. Make sure to look out for the ‘in use’ signs.

Coronation ceremonies have occurred in Westminster Abbey since 1066, the great church founded by Edward the Confessor. The displays examine how the royal regalia are used during the ceremony and explore the symbolism of each object. The Crown Jewels were destroyed at the Tower after the Civil War and remade for Charles II’s coronation in 1661. They signify the royal authority to lead and protect the nation.

A History of Jewels at the Tower of London

By Historic Royal Palaces

The Crown Jewels at the Tower of London

The Tower of London is the world-famous home of the Crown Jewels. It is visited by millions of people from around the world every year. The Crown Jewels have been displayed to the public here since 1661.

Medieval Treasury

The Tower of London would have protected royal treasure almost from its beginnings. Its thick medieval walls safeguarded jewels, relics, altar and banquet plate, precious fabrics, and royal documents. The Tower's first treasury was almost certainly inside the White Tower itself.

The Tudor Jewel House

In 1532, Henry VIII appointed Thomas Cromwell as 'Master of the Jewels'. Cromwell supervised the rebuilding of a new Jewel House to the south of the White Tower. You can see it labelled on this plan of 1597.

Crown Jewels Destroyed at the Tower Mint

In 1649, after the execution of King Charles I, parliament ordered the destruction of the medieval coronation regalia. These objects had been used for crowning England’s monarchs. They were broken up and melted down in the Tower Mint.

Monarchy Restored and Jewels Remade

In 1660, monarchy was restored. King Charles II ordered new regalia made for his coronation in 1661. They were first displayed to the public at the Tower, in the earlier Tudor Jewel House. These jewels are at heart of the Crown Jewels collection today.

Martin Tower

In 1669, the Crown Jewels were moved to the Martin Tower, in the northeast corner of the Tower. The jewels were kept in the basement of the tower, where visitors could see them. The Jewel House's keeper and his family lived above.

Colonel Blood

In 1671, an infamous soldier, spy, and adventurer called Colonel Thomas Blood tried to steal the Crown Jewels. Fortunately, he and his accomplices were caught as they tried to escape. Miraculously, King Charles II not only pardoned Colonel Blood, but even gave him a reward.

Temporary Jewel House

In 1841, the Crown Jewels had to be rescued from the Martin Tower when a terrible fire destroyed the Grand Storehouse nearby. In 1842, the jewels moved to a new Jewel House to the south of the Martin Tower built by the Royal Engineers.

Wakefield Tower

The new Jewel House was deemed unsuitable and was pulled down. In 1869, a new Jewel House was opened to the public in upper storey of the Wakefield Tower, which had originally been part of Henry III’s medieval palace. The jewels were displayed in an iron cage.

Waterloo Barracks

In 1968, a new Jewel House was opened in the basement of the Waterloo Barracks. In 1994, the Jewels moved to their present home on the ground floor. In 2023, a new exhibition was opened which continues to attract millions of visitors each year. See the Crown Jewels up close .

In the near-thousand years since William the Conqueror sparked a trend of lavish treasure and extravagant artefacts among England’s monarchs, only one man has managed to steal the Crown Jewels. Thomas Blood, an Irishman and self-styled colonel, almost escaped with the priceless regalia in 1671, but was arrested as he tried to leave the Tower of London.

In the 350 years since, no one else has even come close to nabbing the Crown’s set of almost 25,000 precious and semi-precious stones. So what would it take to pull off the ultimate heist today? Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be as simple as hoodwinking an oafish MI6 agent played by Rowan Atkinson.

Instead, the Jewels today are protected by a world-class security system that includes state-of-the-art CCTV and two top guard details, one ex-military and one staffed by serving troops. To start with, any aspiring thief would need to avoid the more-than-100 hidden security cameras used to keep a close eye on visitors to the Tower of London.

If you don’t think a 22-man guard sounds like much, the thief would also have to take the Yeomen Warders into account - 38 ex-military personnel who not only protect the Tower, but live there as well.

Presuming the thief managed to avoid the security cameras, the Tower Guard and the Yeomen Warders and managed to break into Jewel House, they’d have one more obstacle to deal with: the bombproof glass that encases the artefacts themselves. At this point, you might wonder if it’d be easier to wait until the Jewels were being transported to mount such a daring heist.

While the Jewels are moved from time to time for ceremonies and conventions, such as the Queen’s Speech in Parliament, they are protected at all times by armed guards. So realistically, it seems like Colonel Blood will always be one-of-a-kind. Perhaps no one will ever have a chance to steal the Crown Jewels again.

A Guide to Visiting the Kremlin, Moscow

With its cultural and historical significance, it is little wonder the Kremlin is one of the most visited sights in Moscow. This UNESCO World Heritage sight has long been the centre-point for Russia’s most defining historical and political events, making it a must-visit stop for those interested in Russia’s long history and future.  Visiting the architectural complex and all of the sights inside can be a minefield of sorts, with so much to see and do! For those interested in maximising their experience, here is your ultimate guide to visiting the Kremlin, including all of the must-know information and the great sights inside the Kremlin walls!

There are two entrances to the Kremlin, however neither of these are accessible from Red Square. The main entrance is located through the Kutafya tower and is where most visitors queue to enter. The second entrance is much less used, however can be found through the Alexandrovsky gardens. This second entrance is the quickest entrance to the Armoury chamber and the Diamond Fund.

As the Kremlin is at the top of every visitor’s to-do list and is one of the most frequented attractions in Moscow, it is important to arrive early to avoid queues, or at the very least limit the time you spend in one! The Kremlin opens at 10am and the ticket office opens an hour earlier – this is by far the best time to arrive and enjoy the Kremlin with less queues and crowds inside.

Take your time

The Kremlin may be geographically small, but it is condense and culturally enormous. I would recommend dedicating at least half a day to visiting the Kremlin, especially if you plan on entering the cathedrals and palaces inside.

The Fast Track Route

You can buy tickets for the architectural complex of the Cathedral Square and the Armoury Chamber online for the same price (500RUB/$10 per person) and it is much quicker to purchase your tickets online. If you don’t, you’ll have to queue twice: once to purchase your tickets and once to go through security to enter the Kremlin.

To save time on the day of your visit, be sure to purchase in advance!

What to See: Armoury Chamber & Diamond Fund

Don’t miss the Armoury Chamber and especially the Diamond Fund. The Diamond Fund is the collection of Russia’s state jewels. Inside you’ll see uncut diamonds, crown jewels, blocks of gold and the world’s largest sapphire. Equal in value to the Crown Jewels in London and Imperial Crown Jewels of Iran, it is a must visit in Moscow.

Assumption Cathedral

The Assumption Cathedral is the most important church in Russia. It is where the Russian emperors and tsars were crowned and is where and patriarchs are buried. It remains to this day the main cathedral in Russia, making it a priority for many people visiting.

Ivan the Great Bell Tower Complex

With 21 bells and beautiful gold-adorned domes, this bell tower is a striking sight. For a long time it was the tallest building in Russia and remains the tallest in the Kremlin.

Grand Kremlin Palace

The Grand Kremlin Palace was formerly the tsar’s residence and is now the residence of president of Russia. It is beautifully ornate on the outside, but even more impressive on the inside. It is not easy to visit, tours are hosted on the basis of an application from an organization, addressed to the Head of the Commandant’s service of the Federal Guard Service of the Russian Federation.

Tsar Cannon and Bell

The Tsar Cannon forms part of the artillery collection in the Kremlin. Once located on Red Square, it now stands in Ivanovskaya Square in the Kremlin. Don’t miss the Tsar bell which is equally as imposing and symbolic.

Visitors Information:

Opening hours: 

The Kremlin is closed on Thursdays. It is open every day of the week except Thursdays from 10am to 6pm. The ticket office is open an hour earlier at 9am and closes at 4.30pm.

50 things you must do in Moscow: Our randomized guide!

1. Fly the cable car over Moscow River

Opened in November 2018, the ride is a fantastic experience, which quickly bagged the top spot in a matter of days. 700-800 rubles gets you a return ticket from Luzhniki to Vorobyevy Gory. At night time you get a bird’s eye view of the magnificence of Neskuchny Sad’s light display.

2. Dance, ride and chill at Gorky Park

This centrally-located slice of heaven is the capital’s pride. Fun activities and rentals of every sort imaginable, cool bars such as Lebedinoe Ozero, or a game of boules and cocktails at La Boules. Or just a chillout session by the famous pond. When you’re in Moscow in the warmer months, Gorky Park should be at the very top of your list. In winter, a huge chunk of the park turns into a skating rink. P.S. And don’t forget to visit Neskuchny Sad - the long serene stretch along the embankment.

3. Travel to medieval Russia at Kolomenskoye

This is medieval Moscow’s remainder today. A vast green park just a 15-minute metro ride from downtown Moscow at Kolomenskaya station. This is also the oldest garden in Moscow, and a favorite with a few of our monarchs. In addition, you get a spectacular view of Moscow’s south from the esplanade. And how can we forget the creepy Golosov Ravine, where you can get lost in the warmer months, and maybe encounter some ghosts from another time.

4. Get a Soviet view on space at The Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics

Opened in 1981 to celebrate 20 years since Yuri Gagarin’s historical achievement of being the first man in space, the museum boasts 85,000 items dealing with Russian astronomy and space travel, including replicas and the real deal.

5. Interact with cutting-edge art at the MARS Modern Art Center

Opened in 1988 as a one of a kind private modern art gallery, the center has since turned into a futuristic multimedia and interactive art powerhouse. The cutting edge exhibitions push the limits all the time, and there’s always something new to experience. Can’t be missed!

6. Explore Bunker 42 and the underground tunnel system

Under Moscow runs a system of secret tunnels that eventually culminate in Bunker 42, concealed under a fake 19th century apartment building, but completed three years after his death, in 1956. When carrying out nuclear tests, Soviet scientists determined that the optimum depth for a bunker silo to survive nuclear fallout would be 165 feet below the surface. A gargantuan task then lay before them: to construct a system of underground tunnels without disturbing Moscow’s infrastructure and communication lines - and do it all without people noticing!

7. Get your Rembrandt fix at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts

The capital’s largest foreign art museum, the Pushkin is not to be trifled with. Works here span the Italian Renaissance, the Dutch Golden Age, impressionists and post-impressionists - and of course, ancient civilizations. Lovers of Boticcelli and Rembrandt will be very pleased. The Pushkin is one of Moscow’s crown jewels. Do yourself a favor and go.

8. Take a selfie in front of the 16th century St. Basil’s Cathedral

The magnificent domes that look like fantastical ice cream cones date back to the 1500s and the time of Ivan the Terrible - the tsar who’s bad side you did not want to get on, but who’s good side wasn’t much better. According to legend, Ivan the blinded the architects , lest they construct a cathedral as beautiful ever again.

9. Wonder around Catherine the Great’s lavish Moscow estate and palace at Tsaritsyno

Gardens, meadows and finely decorated architecture - the 18th century estate is the perfect place for a green respite, fit for a true Russian monarch. And don’t forget to explore the rest of the park. P.S. Although the estate was founded on Catherine’s orders, she never even went there.

10. Shop at the oldest and most majestic of all Russian malls - GUM

Seeing as you’re already in the neighborhood, turn your head back 180 degrees and on your left you’ll see Moscow’s primary and oldest mall. Aside from the latest in top fashion you’re also presented a feast for the eyes. Their electrical bill must rival the GDP of an island nation!

11. Get the most intimate look at the private life of Russia’s Romanov dynasty at the  State Historical Museum

This neo-Russian building is a feast for the eyes in its own right. Founded in 1872, it houses a collection of objects dating back to prehistoric tribal times, not to mention 6th century manuscripts and other treasures collected by the Romanovs over the years.

12. Play real Soviet arcades at the Museum of Soviet Arcade Games

Did you know that the USSR had a mirror version of just about everything outside the Iron Curtain? That makes the arcades at the Museum of Soviet Arcade Games something of a national treasure. Upwards of 50 machines are playable at the museum, and more are being restored in the basement below! Also, the tokens are huge Soviet-era kopek coins with hammer & sickle insignia.

13. Explore the fairytale world of the Izmailovo Kremlin… and buy a Kalashnikov

A complex of colorful and fairytale-like architecture in the style of Old Russia - the Izmailovo Kremlin is undoubtedly much less sombre than its red counterpart. Its relative obscurity doesn’t make the experience any less magical - and you can always

14. Skate the biggest ice rink in all of Russia at Sokolniki

In winter - a gigantic ice skating rink measuring 5,000 sq. ft. In summer - a sprawling park for relaxing, rollerblading and cycling. If you’re staying in the neighborhood of Sokolniki station, the park is a must-see.

15. Lose yourself at the oldest club in Moscow - Propaganda

Other clubs could doubtless make this list, but the ‘Probka’ (nickname, also meaning “corkscrew”) deserves first mentions as the oldest club in Moscow, and to this day incredibly democratically priced. If their $5 mojitos don’t kill you, you’re in for a very intimate experience set to the music of some of the best visiting electronic acts and a stellar homegrown lineup  (Izhevski is a guest on a near-weekly basis). And, thank you, Lord - no fake boobs and business hotshots spoiling the scene!

16. Roam (or longboard!) the Vorobyovy Gory

Refer to no.1 in this guide on how to get to the Sparrow Hills in style. The beautiful area gets you a tour of the Moscow State University grounds, as well as the most incredible of all existing Moscow panoramas. In summer, you can bike and rollerblade to your heart’s content. In winter, you can walk around feeling miserable and trying to order an Uber with frozen fingers. But trust us, the panorama alone is worth a visit. Moscow is unimaginable without it.

17. See the actual Vladimir Lenin up close at the Mausoleum

Ever wake up with a strong feeling like today would be a good day to see the creepy embalmed remains of the father of Russian communism? The Mausoleum is smack in the middle of Red Square, and contains the most famous mummy in the world .

18. Immerse yourself in the Battle of Borodino in 360

Captured on a 115-meter canvas by Russian painter Franz Roubaud, the painting reproduces the carnage that was the 1812 Battle of Borodino, as 250,000 French and Russian forces clashed, leaving more than 70,000 bodies in the battle’s wake. Some 300 Russian soldiers are buried near the museum site that visitors can pay respects to.

  19. Visit the Romanov Boyar Residence

Did you know the Royal Romanov dynasty used to be just another family vying for power once? Before the myth of their divine right to the throne had spread, they were known as Zakharin-Yuriev. This residence was their base of operations, lying close to the Kremlin (but not too close) in the Zaryadye Park’s north.

20. See the predators at one of the biggest aquariums in the world - and tons more! - at VDNKh

A very important and absolutely huge exhibition center with indoor and outdoor parts - said to be bigger than the area of Monaco, and boasting an entrance gate the likes of the Brandenburg in Berlin. The acronym VDNKh roughly translates as ‘exhibition of the advancements in national economy’. There are plenty of Soviet exhibition pavilions and tons of interactive fun to be had!

21. Be suspended over Moscow River at the magnificent urban Zaryadye Park

Speaking of Zaryadye - do yourself a favor and visit! The beautiful maze of walkways overlooking Moscow’s downtown also contains dozens of species of plants and flowers indoors and outdoors. In summer the park is home to various musical performances, all happening in view of the Moscow Kremlin. And the 70 meter River Overlook is truly a marvel!

22. View the ‘Golden Brains’ of the Russian Academy of Sciences

The ugly 20-story tower is a sight to behold. Conceived in the 1960s, it houses a branch of the RAN and boasts a very exotic Soviet-futuristic roof, which has earned it the nickname Golden Brains. There have been stories of people getting headaches while working there, leading to conspiracy theories that the Soviet government was using the golden mechanism as a gigantic mind-control device!

23. Gorge on truffles at White Rabbit - #15 in the Top 50  restaurants in the world for 2018

Dine on the top floor in the heart of Moscow with views so breathtaking you’ll want to go again and again. This is fine European-fusion cuisine at its best.

24. Learn about one of Russia’s more controversial composers at the A.N. Scriabin Memorial Museum

The controversial Russian composer was famous for his atonal musical system, based on mysticism, as well as the clavier a lumieres - or light keyboard, which projected colored lights during performances. His influences were vast, and include Isaac Newton.

25. Chill out at Ziferblat - the very first anti-cafe

It’s hard to put your finger on what Ziferblat is: a cafe, a co-working space, a place to gather your thoughts on the couch, get drunk, use wi-fi, play video games or read a book. You can do it all, and you only pay for the time.

26. Visit Russian nobility at the magnificent Kuskovo Homestead

The 18th century summer house estate of the Sheremetev family is a sight to behold! Similar in style to Catherine the Great’s Tsaritsyno home, the Kuskovo estate will both inspire and educate you on what Russian aristocratic life was like 200 years ago.

27. Buy one of a kind gifts during the day and go wild at night at the Flacon Design Factory

This apple didn’t fall too far from the Winzavod tree: groundbreaking art, exhibitions, good bistros and boutique art supply stores. If you are creative in any shape or form, you must visit Flakon, voted the best creative cluster of 2016 by Kudago.com.

28. Return again and again for workshops, modern art and the latest live music at Winzavod Contemporary Art Centre

Located in a complex of seven 19th century industrial buildings, Winzavod impresses with its embrace of all things eclectic. Colorful, interactive events and electronic performances from world-renowned DJs have always gone really well together!

29. Sit in Vladimir Lenin’s chair at his final home at Gorki Leninskiye

The palatial estate houses many items of interest to history buffs, including the communist grandfather’s very own Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, outfitted like a tank for winter. Lenin’s Last Testament, as well as his death mask and a replica of his office are also all on display.

30. Get lost at the best photography exhibitions in the country at MAMM

The centrally-located museum is a treasure trove of photography - not just Russian, but also foreign, housing frequent high-profile exhibitions, as well as multimedia and music gigs.  

31. Give in to nostalgia at the Cold War Museum

One of the top 10 museums in Moscow (we have a few), this huge military and historical museum is located 65 meters below ground. Go now!

32. Smell the flowers at the oldest botanical gardens in Russia

Nature in downtown Moscow is possible! Founded by Peter the Great himself, the Botanical Gardens of Moscow State University are the real deal. Plenty of exotic stuff on display - just don’t go to the actual MSU, it’s a different part of town.

33. Travel back to the 13th century at the Krutitsy Metochion

First a monastery, then patriarchal chambers, this operating ecclesiastical estate of the Russian Orthodox Church dates back to the 13th century, and is situated just three kilometers south-east of the Kremlin, in the Tagansky District. This is Old Russia at its best, a must-see.

34. Experience the Old-Russian ‘dacha’ right in the capital (Sokol)

No, you haven’t left Moscow. This is merely the ‘artist’s village’ in the Sokol district, created in 1923 to showcase the city-garden concept that never took off. However, a dacha right in the city? Yes! Normally, it would normally take you at least an hour’s drive to see one.  

35. Go completely broke at TSUM

The evil twin of GUM? Not quite. (Oh it’s evil alright!) But if you’re after a pair of women’s boots that will set you back $20,000, the Centralny Univermag Moskvy (or TSUM) is where you go. Upon entrance, your nose comes under assault by the perfume section. Soldier on!

36. Repent at the UNESCO-protected Novodevichy Convent

If you’ve shopped at TSUM, and aren’t compelled to atone for your sins, there’s something wrong with you! Quick, head over to the 16th century Novodevichy Convent and park in the scenic Khamovniki district, just a 7-minute drive from the city centre. Beautiful place to explore the unique side to our 16th century architecture.

37. Savour the views from atop the Cathedral of Christ the Savior - the tallest Orthodox Christian Church in the world

Otherwise known as ‘Dude, Where are My Tax Rubles?’ in the 1990s. Ok, it wasn’t - but should have been. The golden-domed monument to Christ sticks out as a grandiose reminder of the Russian Orthodox Church's enduring power over our “secular” nation. For 50 years, the plot had belonged to the largest outdoor swimming pool in the world.

38. Listen to some of the best musicians in Russia a the Moscow Conservatory

Love classical music? This is where you need to go! Not only cheap tickets, but regular free shows as well. The conservatory bares Tchaikovsky’s name, and we couldn’t  be prouder. Right in the center

39. Propose or say “yes” to your love at the Bolshoi Theatre

This will be an experience of a lifetime. If you can swing it!

40. Enter ‘The Master and Margarita’ universe at the Bulgakov House and the Bulgakov Museum

Some of the scenes from ‘The Master and Margarita’ occur in this very house in downtown Moscow. Not just a monument to the great Russian writer, but also a place of music. One is his private residence, the other a more general museum. And of course, nearby are the Patriarch Ponds, where you can escape the scorching summer under a tree, and reminisce about the other parts of the Bulgakov book - particularly the beginning, which takes place there.

41. Get up close and personal with Anton Chekhov at his Memorial House

Chekhov’s role in Russian literature can’t be understated. The bedrooms, drawing and writing rooms are all intact. Simply a must-see for fans of the author.

42. Hipsterize yourself at the Strelka Institute for Media, Architecture and Design... then attack their bar

Some will call it a hipster paradise, others are kinder. Either way, the architectural institute is home to all things modern and forward-thinking - as evidenced also by the very interesting visiting lecturers, often speaking in English. However, this is also a place of song and dance in the evening, and if you’re a lonely foreigner in Moscow, you’re bound to meet new friends at the bar, while being treated to the evening splendor of the Moscow River embankment.

43. Listen to jazz and drink in style at the Hermitage Garden

In the otherwise quaint but uneventful small streets of Moscow’s downtown area, you’ll sometimes find little slices of paradise to relax during the day and party in style at night. The Hermitage Garden is such a place, with great food and drink, live jazz and what have you, as well as little fairs and festivals. What you do with it will depend on what time of day (and year) you arrive.

44. View the crown jewels of Russian art at the world-famous Tretyakov Gallery

Tretyakovskaya Gallereya needs no introduction: the greatest masterpieces of Russian art are on display. Romanticism and naturalism are very well represented indeed. Medieval icons as well - including Andrei Rublyov’s Holy Trinity. For 20th century, head over to the New Tretyakov Gallery.

45. Dine like a Russian nobleman at Cafe Pushkin - day or night

Are you a foodie? Maybe you’re simply a person that likes good food? Then no trip to Moscow can be complete without fine Russian dining at the Pushkin, outfitted like an aristocratic 18th century mansion and boasting an exquisite traditional menu, including black caviar, fish, red meat and game. Open 24 hours a day and situated right by the Pushkinskaya Square.

46. Catch a lecture or a live art performance at the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art

Garage is like a hip jewel of Gorky Park, combining multidisciplinary approaches to artistic expression - lectures, movies, live performances, it’s all there. Check the schedule, as there can be plenty of international surprise events that are not to be missed.

47. Get a taste of 19th century Merchant Moscow in Zamoskvorechye District

Zamoskvorechye is a compound word signifying “beyond the Moscow River”, but that doesn't’ mean it’s not downtown. In fact, Zamoskvorechye is almost dead center, about a mile away from the Kremlin, and is a time machine several centuries back, despite being known primarily as a 19th century merchant district. The Tretyakov Gallery is situated there, so there’s your day’s walking cut out for you.

48. Shop and eat at the Old and New Arbat streets

Old Arbat has garnered a reputation for being somewhat overrated because of all the importance people have heaped on it over the years. But it’s still the walking street of Moscow - one where, the moment you feel the exhaustion of souvenir shopping set in, there’s always a burger joint nearby. New Arbat runs just parallel to it, and boasts great urban views. You can walk right down to the Kremlin.

49. Throw a tantrum at Russia’s BIGGEST childrens’ mall - Detskiy Mir

Are you with family? Kids? Perfect! Detskiy Mir used to be the largest children’s mall (yes - an entire mall for kids!) in the USSR, and still is in Russia and the CIS. And a humongous section of it is a Hamleys. Your children will love you after this! Downtown by the Lubyanka.

50. Pick a personal favorite from the 44 UNESCO-protected Metro stations

That’s right: of the more than 200 stations of the Moscow Metro, more than 40 enjoy Cultural Heritage status. The best part is you don’t really need a guided tour. Just do some research beforehand, and you’re all set. Plus, you hardly have to go out of your way to visit the metro.
