Moscow Red Square |
| Red Square is rich in historical sites and visiting Red square and the Kremlin will be a whole day activity. The Resurrection Gate would be a nice place to start and it was recently re-built. It was destroyed under the order of Stalin so that the Russian tanks can easily roll through the city for parades and celebrations. St. Basil’s Cathedral is a world famous one and its architectural beauty and complex interiors will surely keep your eyes and mind busy. Lobnoye Mesto is near the St. Basil’s Cathedral and there was a misconception that it was an execution point. But it was actually used for delivering religious speeches and other announcements! GUM Department Store is a shopping center worth a visit even if you don’t have any plans for shopping. Lenin’s Tomb is at the north of Red square, where you can find the Vladimir Lenin’s mummified dead body. |
