"Kutafia Tower. Build in the 16th century and extended at the end of
the 17th century. This tower protected approaches to the Trinity Gates." Now this tower serves as a check-in point for pedestrian tours of the Kremlin. |

The entrance point for those who want to take an inside tour of the Kremlin. Notice the metal detectors. |
|
|
We are still by the Kutafya Tower, now facing the Arbat area, with our back to the Alexander Garden and the Kremlin. |
|
|
You buy tickets to the Kremlin Palace performances (usually ballet from what I know) here. |
|
|
Go down to the Garden to buy tickets to view the Kremlin. I look up the price next time I'm here but I think it is something like sever bucks for foreigners and one or two for Russian citizens. |
