Things to do in Moscow, Central Russia: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
The political, scientific, historical, architectural and business center of Russia, Moscow displays the country's contrasts at their most extreme. The ancient and modern are juxtaposed side by side in this city of 10 million. Catch a metro from one of the ornate stations to see Red Square, the Kremlin, the nine domes of St. Basil's Cathedral, Lenin's Mausoleum, the KGB Museum and other symbols of Moscow's great and terrible past, then lighten up and shop Boulevard Ring or people watch in Pushkin Square.

Red Square is a city square in Moscow, Russia. The buildings surrounding the Square are all significant: Nearby to the South is the elaborate brightly domed Saint Basil's Cathedral and the palaces and cathedrals of the Kremlin, Lenin's Mausoleum. On the Eastern side of the square is the GUM department store, and next to it the restored Kazan Cathedral.

One of the best memories during our trip to Moscow is from Manezhnaya Ploshad’ (Манежная Площадь). The square is facing the Four Seasons Hotel. We visited it when there was a celebration of Maslenitsa (Масленица) and we had a lot of fun! Beautiful decorations, yummy stands with different kinds of food (with bliny - crêpes -, churros and more), holiday characters dressed in costumes and entertaining the visitors, demonstrations of old Russian crafts! We spent such a great day there!

By invitation of Catherine the Great many foreigners came to settle in Moscow in the second half of the 18th century. French merchants settled around Kuznetsky Most and began to open boutiques in this street. There is a bronze plaque explaining that a monsiur x lodge at an apartment building there and later opened a confiserie at the shops bellow. Kuznetsky then become the place to shop for luxury and fashion by the beginning of the 19th century. Walking by this street, even with the seasonal Christmas decor, is like walking back in time to an elegant street of a cosmopolitan city two centuries ago.

The area to the east of the Kremlin was a traditional trading quarter. The oldest streets of Kitai-Gorod - Nikolskaya, Ilyinka, Varvarka - were known as early as the 14th century.

I always advise this place to the forein guest: "After the official view of Red Square come here to see the ancient history of Moscow". Just walk along and see. Tip: at the end of the steet step down to the subway (Metro) and look to the left just at the end of the stairway. You can see the basement of ancient "Varvarskaya tower" - the entrance to the Kitay-gorod and mystic place of ancient Moscow.
