Mark your calendars, folks! In less than two days, on June 12th, Russia Day celebrations will light up Lower Novgorod, resulting in some tweaks to the Kremlin's entry guidelines. Buckle up, as I spill the deets on where to gain access to the fortress.

According to the skutchiest of sources (the Nizhny Novgorod region’s government press service), you'll need to hit up the Dmitrievskaya, Kladovaya, or Ivanovsky towers to slip through the gates. But here's the kicker – the Dmitrievskaya tower will only open its doors from 11:00 A.M. till the wee hours of 10:00 P.M., while the Kladovaya and Ivanovsky towers will keep their turnstiles spinning from 7:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. Festivities call for increased security checks, so don't be surprised if you're feeling like a celebrity while they run your details.

Now, brace yourself for some bummers. Pedestrians won't be allowed to scale the walls of the Pороховая and Nikolskaya towers, nor will you get a chance to explore the museum-tower complex. Bummer! Better luck next time, eh?

But fret not! When it comes to celebrated Russian landmarks like the Lower Novgorod Kremlin, there's usually a party poppin' on national holidays. So, before you set your sail for Russia Day, make sure to hit up credible sources for any last-minute updates on the festivities and special entry rules.
