Description
A must see when in Red Square: Lennins Tomb
Super beautiful location
Had to queue for a while but the line moved quickly. Lenin was a great man. But its not how Id like to end up having thousands of people staring at my remains!
MoreNice calm historical place, Ive seen mummy in Egypt, now Ive seen it in Moscow )
Such a beautiful place to spend your vacation. Dont forget to take warm clothes since Russia is super freezing. lol. We had a great time at Moscow. Amazing city with beautiful historical structures and stunning nature!
MoreStructure is strong and well taken care of . I did not enter but Im sure its worth the price if thats what you are into . Again a great place to visit.
MoreAmazing Museum and Looks very real, The russian have done sooo well and conserved this historical figure
MoreQuite impressive as I never imagined I was going to see him... that close. Located in the famous Red Square of Moscow, its definitely worth to line up and enter. Youre only allowed to be near his body for a few minutes only, which seemed alright to me...
MoreI waited 30min.Come early as possible to avoid crowds First you go through metal detector arches and security. You can have bag or phone with you.After thigh security you walking to mausoleum.Free entry. STRICTLY No photos inside every corner is watched by soldiers.Photos outside are permitted . Inside you move aroung Lenin glass coffin for aprox 1minute.Outside mausoleum are graves of other soviet leaders. Must do in Moscow but not for everyone.
MoreGo for it! Moscow’s top tourist attraction is now without crowds so enjoy observing Lenin without tons of other tourists around you.
MoreIf you in Moscow must visit the place best place to visit
Once you are in Moscow, you just have to wait in the line to visit Lenin. I honestly doubt that it is the real body, however the security of this place is quite impressive! Despite the 4 soldiers who are just watching the body, the security control on the entrance is more meticulous than at many airports.
MoreVisiting Lenins Mausoleum is a must for anyone spending time in Moscow. The person who laid the groundwork for Soviet Russia and later the Soviet Union died over 95 years ago, but his body is in surprisingly good condition. Lines to get into the Mausoleum tend to be long, but its worth it given the enormous historic relevance that Lenin has had on the world history.Some practical tips about visiting:1. The Mausoleum closes at 1pm. Lines to get in can take over an hour and they will cut off the line at 1pm sharp, no matter how long you may have been waiting at that point. Line up before noon to make sure you get in.2. Take off your hats in the Mausoleum and dont take your phones out, the guards here dont mess around. They do not take phones and cameras at the entrance but they wont allow you to enter the Mausoleum unless you stow them out of sight in your bag or pocket.3. After exiting the Mausoleum, there are good picture opportunities of St. Basils cathedral, as well as busts of famous Russians such as Stalin and Yuri Gagarin.
MoreGreat place to visit! You must see the Mausoleum if youre in Red Square. Such history and you never know if it will be removed 😊🇷🇺❤
MoreGreat experience. It’s not every day that you get to see the body of the father of the Soviet Union. The lines were long, took up to about 1.5 hours to get in, once you’re in they are very strict and make you walk at all times with no photos or hands in your pocket. I would recommend doing it on a weekday when it’s not crowded. Don’t think it’s worth standing in line forever for, plus the hours of opening are limited.
MoreThe body is very well preserved, and its free to check out so why not visit it while youre at the red square. They wont let you take pictures from inside but the view of the red square while going in is really good.
MoreAfter ready the reviews we made sure to arrive at the mausoleum 2 hours before the opening time and so we managed to get in with no trouble. Fantastic historical site definitely worth visiting.
MoreLenin reminds us of Russian revolution 1917 a truly adorable man.The Mausoleum opens at 10:00 am. You are advised to reach 2 hours before it actually opens, as there are chances that you may encounter long queues. It is closed on Mondays. There are security checks before you enter inside. You will spot graves of famous Russian personalities including Stalin before you enter the mausoleum. The entry to Mausoleum is free and you need to maintain silence. There are security guards and Russian army officials inside. The photography is strictly prohibited.When you step inside, you need to keep walking. It is advised that you do not stay longer inside because of huge rush behind. Do not stare the preserved body, bow your head to pay respect, and move on.
MoreThe organization of the line is a huge DISASTER (theres no organization at all)! DONT GO past 11.00 or you can end up waiting 1 hour and 45 minutes just to see how they close the fence in front of hundreds of people and your waiting time will be for nothing. Its so easy to have 1-2 people there to cut the line earlier, but instead, they shout to the crowd like 20 minutes before closing and the ones in the back rush to the entrance, so everything turns into a huge battlefield. Worst experience in 10 days in Russia
MoreLong lines and only a limited time to get in. We had gotten to the Mausoleum and waited till 1pm when the officially closed and sent a very long line of people way. Make sure to go early and not to bring a backpack or phone to go through faster.
MoreCome in before 10 p.m., it can take you 2-3 hours to get in. Bonus thing you will see when are buried most of Soviet leaders including stalin and famous people like gagarin. No one takes your phone away. But you cant take photos.
MoreIt’s an experience you will never get anywhere else but Russia. To see the man who changed the history so much is absolutely terrific. He looks like a doll from far, but then when you look closer, you can almost see his rotten fingertips and you have these goosebumps of horror and awe at the same time.
MoreEntrance is free and the line goes pretty quickly
Theres no way to stop and feel the historic atmosphere of the place. They will make you walk past Lenin very fast, and if you stop, the guardians will shout at you. The advantage of this is that the huge line in front of the entrance is moving pretty fast
MoreVery nice and historical place of Moscow the red square and must visit it.
I was there one year ago. Very very cold. Freeze . Dont forget to wear your gloves . Nice view... but you should learn russian language little . most of they cant speak english . Lenin was a good man. Go see him. Good luck friends
MoreA must do when in Moscow especially if you have an interest in history. Just takes one back in time. Just amazed to see it finally. Doesnt feel eerie. Very respectful place. The staff inside are mild and friendly and they urge you on and not stay too long. I was the only one there when I went in. The surrounding important stones are worth the time too after this.
MoreUnforgettable experience of the old USSR. Monolithic mausoleum. Lenin - the progenitor of a world of suffering. But dont go if history is not your bag. If you DO plan to go then be aware that the mausoleum has very limited opening hours.
MoreWonderful experience to see Lenins bodily remains. Had heard a lot about him, but by visiting this place, you go through the memories of Soviet Union. It is a different experience.The security is very strict and no photos allowed inside. Seeing the busts of other Heads of State during Soviet times, reminds us about tolerance of Russians.
MoreVery much enjoyed the experience. Was good to see the man in charge for the revolution in real life. Not something you expect and no matter how many pictures you see it’s not the same as real life.
MoreA spectacular and wonderful experience. This is one of the things that you should and absolutely must see should you ever find yourself visiting Moscow.The staff are particularly strict and run a tight ship, so dont push your luck or do anything that would upset them.
MoreDo not miss this! Feels like a contemporary art museum, created by the red lights, surreal atmosphere and guards in group of 3 in every corner. Very impressive
Moreone of most memorable experiences in Moscow — seeing Lenin with my own eyes. exteremely well preserved, extremely long line under the sun. the mausoleum is right across the GUM mall on the Red Square. beware that the gate closes exactly at 13:00, no matter how long people have waited to enter. make sure you start queueing before 11 AM. no ticket is necessary, it’s free.
MoreOne of the must go location in red square. You should not miss this location. Plan well since this mausoleum close by 1pm every day and they are closed on Mondays. There will be a huge queue so plan in advance.
MoreExactly what one should expect when visiting a mausoleum. Taking pictures not allowed, entry is free, but theres usually a long queue (it moves pretty quickly though). You are able to see Lenin for dozen of seconds when slowly and quietly walking by. Seemed well preserved.Go before hes buried! :probably wont take much longer.
MoreThe experience of a lifetime. Overwhelming and unforgettable. Better go there around 9am and wait in line rather than later since they close at 1pm. Line forms on the right handside not in the front. Please be quite and respectful of one of the most influential figures of the history.Visit Stalins grave just behind the mausoleum too.
MoreThe historical importance of Lenin mummy is sure, but we had to wait for 1 hour to see only 1 minute of Lenin!
MoreTheres nothing quite like it - a must visit if youre in Moscow. Be warned that entrance is free - anyone offering to sell tickets is a fraud. Be prepared to queue as well, I visited on a Tuesday morning and joined the queue around 9:45, 15 minutes before opening and it took me about half an hour to get in.I didnt find security as intense as I had been led to believe - maybe I just went on a good day!Once youre in, you keep moving; it wasnt as quick as I thought though and provided you walk with your hands out of your pockets & dont talk, you wont incur any trouble from the security.Seeing Lenin was a highlight and its amazing how theyve preserved him.
MoreCaptivating, was in awe that Lenin’s body is still on display here fully embalmed to preserve him. There is a queue to enter with security checking, is dark inside with lots of security ensuring you keep moving.
MoreYou should be aware of that the entrance for this tomb isn’t on the front of the place. You could find the entrance on the right side of the tomb in 2 minutes walking distance. I blew my 20 minutes on the front of the tomb. Keep in mind.
MoreWhat a mortifyingly awesome experience! Beware of the time it opens because there will be lines. Entrance is free. Be respectful in the environment you are entering, considering its a tomb. Its clean, neat and well preserved. There will always be guards ready to answer questions if needed. If you are going to see a dead mans body preserved inside a glass box, it might as well be Lenins. Remember that pictures arent allowed inside, only outside. The room is dark, so even if you wanna try taking a hidden picture, quality will be poor, so not worth it.
MoreVery interesting place to visit, a little bit bizarre, but historical. Its a place with a great value for the Russian history. There is not only Lenin but (I guess, or at least there are their bustsother great personalities of the Soviet state and its foundation too (just in from of the kremlins wall). Its not allowed to take pictures inside, it has a very nice security so dont try to photography there. I recommend to goin the morning and after that you can walk through the red square (the Lenins mausoleum its right in the red square).
MoreI believe its a must see when you are in Moscow.Well, sincerely, all the place is dark and little scary.We visited the Mausoleum with my wife in September and we walked alone.Really interesting place, worth the visit.
MoreReally cool to see, but make sure youre there early or when it isnt crowded. You dont have a lot of time to look at Lenin and youll be emphatically urged along by heavily armed sentries if you pause, but its still pretty cool to say youve seen Lenin.
MoreTry to arrive as early in the morning as possible, around 8:30 or 9, in order to get shorter queues. Your bags and coat pockets will be frisked before you are allowed to enter. Its a wonderful experience to see the great leader and I got goosebumps. The campus also has a necropolis by the Kremlin wall with the tombs of several Soviet Union stalwarts, e.g., Stalin and Maxim Gorky. It also has the tomb of Yuri Gagarin. If you are interested in the political history of the world, you will love it.
MoreFirst... do not go to red square on Fridays if you want to visit Lenins Mausoleum. Check the opening days and hours before going there.There is a long line of visitors, but dont panic, it takes about 15-20 minutes to enter. Body Inspection is serious, so it is better not carry handbags or something with yourself. Also visiting the Mausoleum is free and you dont need to look for ticket kiosks.Inside the Mausoleum is dark and impressive. You should be respectful ... so do not put your hands in your pocket. You just have 20-25 seconds to visit Lenins body. He seems calm, cold and artificial but very effective... you will not forget this moment for rest of your life.Outside of the Mausoleum you will find the tombs of many other former Soviets famous Characters. I found Yuri Gagarins, the first astronaut, that was so interesting for me.At the end of the path you can find a proper place to take a selfie pic with a nice view of Saint Basil.
MoreNice, but strange place. Why they keep that dead man not buried or rest in peace?Be ready for full inspection before entry, no photos are allowed. Strange soviet-era object to visit, but it worth it.P.s. Lenin is without brain is laying here, because his brain is stored in the Institute of Lenins Brain!
MoreWe paid homage to Lenin mid October, which is not the tourist season here. This was great for us, as there was no queue to stand in and we just walked straight in.Photography and videography is not allowed here and there are a lot of guards positioned all over the place. You should be dressed decently to enter the place, cant stop while looking at Lenins body, but can walk around very slowly.Do take note that the place is opened only in the mornings, and not on all days. You would want to check the timings before deciding to head here.
MoreLenins Tomb, situated in Red Square in the center of Moscow, is the mausoleum that serves as the resting place of Vladimir Lenin. His embalmed body has been on public display there since shortly after his death in 1924, with rare exceptions in wartime. In 1973, I stood in a four hour line with regular average Russians waiting to go into see Lenins Tomb. Only when I got close to the tomb in Red Square, did I realize that that there was a special 11:00am viewing for foreign visitors, that allowed them to skip the wait.Могила Ленина, расположенный на Красной площади в центре Москвы, является мавзолей, который служит местом упокоения Владимира Ленина. Его забальзамированное тело было на всеобщее обозрение там, так как вскоре после его смерти в 1924 году, за редким исключением в военное время. В 1973 году я стоял в четыре часа линии с регулярными среднестатистического россиянина, ожидающих, чтобы войти в увидеть Мавзолея Ленина. Только тогда, когда я приблизился к могиле на Красной площади, я понял, что это был специальный 11:00 утра просмотра для иностранных посетителей, что позволило им пропустить ждать.Lénine Tomb, situé sur la Place Rouge dans le centre de Moscou, est le mausolée qui sert de lieu de repos de Vladimir Lénine. Son corps embaumé a été mis sur laffichage public là depuis peu de temps après sa mort en 1924, à de rares exceptions en temps de guerre. En 1973, je me trouvais dans une ligne de quatre heures avec les Russes moyens réguliers dattente pour entrer dans voir le tombeau de Lénine. Seulement quand je suis près de la tombe de la Place Rouge, je me rends compte que quil y avait une 11:00 spéciale visualisation pour les visiteurs étrangers, qui leur a permis de sauter lattente.Lenin-Mausoleum, befindet sich auf dem Roten Platz im Zentrum von Moskau, ist das Mausoleum, das als letzte Ruhestätte von Vladimir Lenin dient.

Im Jahr 1973 stand ich in einer vierstündigen Linie mit regelmäßigen durchschnittlichen Russen darauf warten, in sehen Lenin Grab zu gehen. Erst als ich zum Grab auf dem Roten Platz nahe kam, wurde mir klar, dass es eine spezielle 11.00 Uhr war für ausländische Besucher sehen, die ihnen erlaubt, die Wartezeit zu überspringen.
MoreTruly an interesting experience. In addition to seeing Lenin, anyone with a passing knowledge of Soviet history (and ability to read Cyrillicwill appreciate the gravesites, which can only be accessed through the tomb. For Americans: bonus points for finding the two American buried here!
