Located at the heart of Moscow, Red Square offers easy access to most of the city's major attractions. Surrounded by landmark buildings representative of Moscow's rich architectural heritage, the vast square is the first destination for most visitors to the city. Its name comes not from the color of the cobbles or its link to communist history, but from one interpretation of the Russian word "krasniy," meaning "beautiful." Most of the city's major streets originate from this square, but the majority of tourists come to this World Heritage Site to take pictures and visit the surrounding buildings, including a mausoleum housing the embalmed body of Vladimir Lenin. Planning Moscow trip won't be overwhelming when you use Inspirock's itinerary maker.

We were excited to visit Red Square but couldn’t believe how beautiful and clean it is in person. Definitely something you need to see for yourself! Must see at day and night.

This place looks magical! It was probably least crowded when I went there and perhaps that's the reason I liked this place a little more. You can spend a lot of time (or days) in Red Square and the nearby places and you won't get tired of the freshness and the beauty of this place.
