This is a very important historic site worth reading about before seeing. There had been competing centers of power at the turn of the last millennium between Novgorod, Kiev, and Moscow. Ivan the Terrible was brutal to the occupants of Novgorod. We had a guide who gave us the history of the long past and of the occupation by Nazis during WWII. The Kremlin is the chief attraction of the city which is somewhat neglected compared to St. Petersburg and Moscow. The Kremlin itself is free but do get a guide.

The palace has been transformed from a derelict to its original grandeur and the grounds transformed into a veritable fairyland of walkways among trees and gardens, fountains and canals. The gardens are only open during the summer. The palace is open on a very limited schedule. Very few are permitted. It you ever have an opportunity, TAKE IT!
