Summer Season (June to August): The ideal time to visit the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin is during the summer months when the weather is warm and pleasant. The temperatures range from 15°C to 25°C, thus providing a comfortable atmosphere for exploring the Kremlin's historic sites. This season also aligns with the peak tourist season, offering numerous festivals and outdoor events that showcase Russian culture. The long daylight hours ensure that visitors have ample time to enjoy both the attractions within the Kremlin walls and the beautiful views of the Volga and Oka rivers from its ramparts.
Early Autumn (September to Early October): If you prefer a quieter experience with fewer tourists, consider visiting in the early autumn. Although the weather begins to cool, with temperatures gradually dropping from 15°C to 10°C, the milder climate is still favorable for walking tours. The changing colors of the foliage create a picturesque backdrop for the Kremlin's stunning architecture. Moreover, this time of the year often features clearer skies, allowing for exceptional photo opportunities of the stronghold and its surroundings before the onset of the brisk winter.
