Arriving at Red Square, take in the city’s most iconic buildings—St. Basil’s Cathedral, built by Ivan the Terrible in 1561, and the Kremlin, a fortress dating back to the 14th century and current home to the Russian president. Both are UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Also check out Lenin’s Mausoleum, home to the mummified body of the former Soviet leader and GUM, Russia’s largest and most luxurious department store.
