Red Square

Red Square, or Kрacнaя площадь, as it’s known in Russian (wow – I can still remember some Russian!) is the place that everyone heads to when in Moscow. Dominated by St Basil’s Cathedral with its fantastically bright multi-coloured domes, arches and towers (photo time!) and Lenin’s Mausoleum (which I have done separate reviews on and so won’t discuss here), it ...
...trip here in 1997, and Red Square, where the communist May Day parades used to be held, was the very first place we visited. Your first view of Red Square will stay in your memory for ever.

Review of Red Square

Red square 2008, I did this as part of my travels through Russia and went to Red Square as the sun was setting in late June. The whole trip was worth it just for this. Magnificent to watch the sun set behind the buildins nd what made it better? All the lights came on to illuminate the square itself. Well worth seeing. ...
