It's difficult to put into words a location that was the site of a revolution not so many years ago. Today it stands the testament of time with historical buildings and a very high end shopping mall, the GUM.

Red Square can be entered through several gates but your first glimpse of St Basil's Bascilica will be breathtaking! The cobblestones are not red, as one would expect. However the long wall along the Administrative side is red. To the other side is Gum Department store which is 3 storeys high and an historic building in itself with a separate... More

Beautiful and powerful - a must see! When it is already dark outside, the whole complex is very nice, the touch of history can be felt.

One of those must see places - yes it's packed with tourists, but still a fantastic location, with iconic buildings all around - St Basil's, Kremlin Wall, Gum ........ Would also recommend coming along at night when it's all lit up.

A very nice place. Always a lot of people and probably one of the places of the world where pictures are taken most frequently!

Considering Red Square is witness to most important events in History of Russia it is must for any traveler to Moscow. If you can be there on important days like Victory Day etc. it will bring different experience altogether

You have to see this both during the day and at night. During the day you can picture the military parades and at night it screams Russia with the red stars, a glowing St Basil's and the ringing bell tower of the Kremlin.

Please, if you go by day, come back at night to see the lights! The color of the sky, 9:30 PM will give you the best pictures!!

Really is the thing to see in Moscow , Give yourself plenty of time as there is a lot to see ,plus its generally always busy so expect to queue . Unfortunatley Lennin's Tomb was closed while we were there...having a bit of cosmetic work ?? Plenty of good photo opportunities and St Basils in the background is stunning .
