Open till late, entrance is free. At night the Kremlin is very beautifully illuminated. Inside is clean and beautiful.

Not a local, a tourist. Was in Veliky Novgorod in late may 2015. Visited the Kremlin with a guide, which is very happy. Without him, I wouldn't have recognized a wonderful history not only of the Citadel but also Novgorod in General.
Appearance and atmosphere really impressed me. One of the most beautiful places... :)

Very beautiful place, everything is renovated, everywhere order, convenient location. Around the Park, on the other hand a large beach, a pedestrian bridge across the Volkhov, from pier trips to the river with the sunset in the lake Ilmen.
