Lonely Planet review

Palpably the centre of Moscow and even Russia as a whole, Red Square is a massively impressive sight that brings back the full force of the Cold War, despite the two decades that have passed since perestroika . Something of a misnomer for this grey and rectangular strip to the east side of the Kremlin, Red Sq is surrounded by Lenin's Mausoleum to the west, the State History Museum to the north, GUM shopping centre to the east and fabulous St Basil's Cathedral to the south.

Begin your visit to Moscow by coming here - there's nothing else like it.
