RED
SQUARE
Welcome to Red Square, the grand heart of
Moscow. Below you can see the view of Red
Square from St. Basil’s Cathedral, the amazing
building with the meringue-shaped towers.

There are many cultural treasures you can find
in this sprawling square. The bright red State
Historical Museum is at the far end, alongside
the iconic Resurrection Gate and Chapel, which
lead to the historic merchant
quarter, known as Kitai-gorod
(Chinatown). To the left, you
can see some of the towers of
the Kremlin, Moscow’s former
royal citadel, which runs
along the entire left side of
the square, with only Vladimir
Lenin’s Mausoleum to keep
it company. To your right is
GUM (literally translated as
Government-owned Universal
Store), which currently is a
huge western-style shopping
mall. You won’t find a better
starting point for your journey
through the grand capital of
the Russia.
