Stop off at the Armoury and uncover a treasure trove of royal jewels and weaponry. Polished golden Fabergé eggs, sparkling diamond-encrusted thrones and 18th-century coronation dresses are among the highlights.

Head to the nearby Lenin’s Mausoleum at the foot of the Kremlin and visit the final resting place of one of the 20th century’s most influential political leaders. Walk past his embalmed body inside a striking red granite and black marble mourning hall.
