Moscow, Russia 🇷🇺, the capital of Russia.

This city is very big, but we have a must-visit tourist destination for everyone, which is either Red Square or the area around it, because it gathers excellent tourist attractions in Russia, such as St. Basil's Cathedral, Gum, and the Kremlin. Go shopping on Arbat Street or buy local souvenirs at the Izmailovo Market. Another must-see is the metro station, which is beautiful and considered a source of art like a museum. Red Square is the favorite place for most tourists, and it's really beautiful both day and night. There's not enough time to see all the other attractions in the city, so make sure to come back next time. Record the first trip to Moscow, many years ago in the summer.

Moscow Red Square ⛰[Scenic Spot Guide] 📍Detailed address: Red Square, Moscow. 🚗Transportation guide: airplane, train 🕙Opening hours: all day 💰Ticket price: 🌟Highlight features: North of Red Square is the State Historical Museum of Russia. The museum is a treasure trove of Russian culture and art, with a large collection of cultural relics and a systematic display of the long history, culture, and craft of Russia. It also has a dedicated academic research institution, publishing papers and books related to the museum's collections, and working hard to preserve and promote Russian culture. To the east of Red Square is the Moscow State Department Store, also known as "GUM", which was built in 1893 and has become one of the top ten famous department stores in the world. Rather than a store, it is more like a palace, with a European classical style yellow building and a colorful church next to it, forming a beautiful scenery on Red Square. "GUM" is a three-story building with a glass roof and three large arches, consisting of more than a thousand shops, featuring Russian specialties such as porcelain, handicrafts, clothing, and department stores, as well as a wide range of imported goods. On the south side of Red Square is the Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed, which is a Russian Orthodox church displaying the folk architectural style of 16th century Russia. The main entrance of the eight-tower cathedral faces the ambulatory of the central church, so the entire interior of the church can be viewed from any entrance. The exterior of the church is surrounded by corridors and stairs. The entire cathedral is cleverly composed of nine towers, standing on a high pedestal, with eight colorful and full-bodied towers clustered around the central tower. To the west of Red Square is Lenin's Mausoleum, a famous building in Moscow. Located on the west side of Red Square, it is built of red granite and black basalt. The body of the proletarian revolution mentor Lenin is placed here. 📌Small tip: picturesque scenery, beautiful architecture
