What to do and see in District Central (TsAO), Central Russia: The Best Churches & Cathedrals

April 27, 2022 Terina Blouin

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.

This is truly a hidden gem. I was just passing by and decided to pop in, and was stunned by the marble altar and paintings, and the whole ambiance that brings you few centuries back. Definitely worth paying a visit to.

Another fabulous church at the Kremlin. Gorgeous inside, no photography. Plenty to see, it is free entry so gets quite busy, worth it though.
