Moscow’s major attraction is the world famous Red Square, which houses magnificent attractions like the domed St. Basil’s Cathedral, Lenin’s Mausoleum (containing the soviet founder’s embalmed body), Kazan Cathedral and the famed GUM department stores.

Adjacent is the Kremlin, the Heart of Moscow and the seat of the Russian Presidency. In the same vicinity is the world’s largest Orthodox Church, Christ the Saviour Cathedral. There is a historic museum beneath the structure.

Shop all you want at the Old Arbat Street with its souvenir shops, cafes and quaint Russian restaurants. In contrast, the brightly-lit New Arbat Street is where Moscow’s rich and elite frequent. If you visit in winter, you can catch an ice sculpture competition or an ice skating gala taking place at the Gorky Park.

After shopping, you can lunch at the world’s busiest McDonalds on Tverskaya Street.
