Red Square moscow in Russia Tours
Red Square is the historic heart of Moscow and one of Russia’s most famous public spaces. Located beside the Moscow Kremlin, the square has been closely connected with the political, religious and cultural history of the city for centuries. The Kremlin and Red Square together form a UNESCO World Heritage Site, inscribed in 1990.
The square is surrounded by some of Moscow’s most recognizable landmarks, including Saint Basil’s Cathedral, the State Historical Museum, GUM department store and Lenin’s Mausoleum. Saint Basil’s Cathedral, at the southern end of the square, is particularly celebrated for its colourful domes and distinctive Russian Orthodox architecture.
Today, Red Square remains a vibrant centre of Moscow, hosting celebrations, cultural events and public ceremonies while preserving the remarkable architectural ensemble that reflects centuries of Russian history.
