We look forward to welcoming you to The Moscow Kremlin Museums! Please review the guidelines below before you visit:

• Photo and video filming using amateur devices on the territory of the Moscow Kremlin is permitted! Photo and video filming in the Armoury Chamber is forbidden to preserve the exhibits' condition. To organise professional filming, please contact the Press Office.
• In the event of adverse weather conditions, access to the museum-cathedrals may be temporarily limited to preserve the monuments. The number of daily visitors is limited due to the capacity of the Armoury Chamber. The Museums do not guarantee admission for visitors late for their session. Admission to the architectural complex of Cathedral Square for tourist groups is also regulated according to the schedule.
• Prohibited items include large-sized baggage, skis, sleds, snowboards, scooters, hoverboards, bicycles, etc., except for children's strollers and baby carriages. No entry with animals. Left-luggage office by the Kutafiya Tower is intended for visitors to the Moscow Kremlin.

Tickets and tour packages are sold on the Museum's official website via the online booking service. The museum can receive a limited number of visitors. We recommend buy tickets in advance to be sure in the visit on the scheduled day. Tickets sold at the ticket offices of the museum in the Alexander Garden are only for the current date.

Electronic tickets (vouchers) purchased on the museum's website must be exchanged for ticket forms at the museum's ticket office on the day of the event on a first–come, first-served basis upon presentation of customer's ID (to the Armoury Chamber no later than 45 minutes before the start of the session, to the Cathedral Square – without time limit).

Ticket sales on the museum's website open 17 days prior to the date of the visit. For example, on the first day of the month, a sale opens on the 18th day of the month, etc. The sale of tickets to the Armoury Chamber at the ticket offices for each subsequent session opens only when the sale of tickets for the current session is completed.

Dear visitors, recently there has been an increase in fraudulent attempts to sell tickets to the Moscow Kremlin Museums. Please note that the museum do not cooperate with any online ticketing platform. Tickets are available online at the museum’s official website kreml.ru and at the official ticket office in the Alexander Garden (Alexandrovsky Sad). The Moscow Kremlin Museums do not guarantee you admission with tickets purchased on non-official websites. Any other website that uses the museum's name in any way has nothing to do with the museum and belongs to resellers who sell tickets for several times more than they cost.

The right to receive an order may be transferred by the Customer to an authorised person. The trustee presents to the cashier his passport, power of attorney, and in order to confirm the authenticity, a copy of the passport of the principal (Customer), which is then returned to the trustee.

To return a ticket purchased online, you need to fill out an application form and send it by e-mail to: tickets-vozvrat@kremlin.museum.ru

Rules are specified in the Ticket Refund Policy.

Tickets can only be refunded no later than the date of the visit.

Unfortunately, tickets received at the ticket office on the day of the visit cannot be exchanged or refunded.

If you want to reschedule your visit, you will have to return your tickets and buy new ones. You will also not be able to issue a partial refund of tickets.

In the case of the refund, the money will be refunded to the same card in a few days. The exact time depends on your bank.
