Red Square

The iconic heart of the city, Red Square has witnessed historic moments and stills draws crowds daily. Savvy tourists know better than to wait in line to file past Lenin’s tomb but instead they enjoy the parade of Muscovites and tourists. St. Basil’s Cathedral, with its colorful onion domes, is worth a visit as is G.U.M. the famous department store that once contained dreary Soviet rations and now boasts luxury labels from around the globe.
