Moscow – The fascinating Red Square is often the first stop for visitors, lured by the colourful onion domes of St. Basil’s Cathedral. The somber and severe Lenin’s Mausoleum located nearby is a stark contrast to the exuberant colours of the regal St. Basil’s Cathedral. It is said that each era of the Russian history left its architectural mark on the Kremlin, with monuments such as the Cathedral of the Assumption and Ivan the Great Bell Tower found within the Kremlin walls. With a multitude of palaces, churches and museums, the Kremlim contains enough state regalia and treasures for several days of sightseeing. Fine arts lovers will be mesmerized by the masterpieces found in the Pushkin Fine Arts Museum and Tretyakov Gallery while shopping lovers will enjoy souvenir-hunting at GUM Department Store or Izmailovsky Flea Market.
