After growing up watching the Soviet parades through Red Square, it was hard to believe we were standing in it.
North gate rebuilt, so no more tank parades past Lenin's Tomb, but the lane lines are still painted on the ground.
Large, about 6 blocks long, it's extremely impressive with Lenin's Tomb in the middle, and the execution ...

Beautiful even on a cloudy day
By Shawnon Hoskinson, 10/12/05
Red Square is easily accessible by metro and while making your way to it you get a great view of the Bolshoy Theatre, even though it is closed for renovation at the moment. I found most things to be affordable in Red Square so long as you don't load up in clothes while in the Gum. St. Basil is a must see, but be prepared for a small hike up a ...

Red square =D
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 09/25/06
Red square is great!! You can get to St.Basil's Church, Lenin's tomb , Goom and the museum from there! I went in Lenin's tomb, it was quite scary!! But well worth the visit!! Red square is a place you'll just want to go back to again and again!

Great at New Years
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 08/28/05
The Russians love Novii God (New Years)-- it's their Christmas of sorts (Santa Claus even comes then and lays presents under the Christmas tree). But Red Square at New Years is very much worth visiting. There are fireworks, artistic shows, public figures, crowds. It's joyous and well-worth it.
Otherwise Red Square is also fun. The view ...

Very Nice - Ochen Horosho
By BraveHearted, 09/18/07
That place is definitely one of the most significant places in the world and anyone who has the chance should see.
It is widely known as Red Square but it can also be called as Beautiful Square as the word 'krasnaya' means both.
Don't miss the chance to be in that square that is besides Kremlin, great shopping center GUM and very ...

Red Square surprises
By orick@prodigy.net, 12/03/07
We didn't expect souvenier counters INSIDE St. Basil's, where we purchased a beautiful silk scarf. Do not miss the very beautiful souvenier/ Russian crafts in the small store in the side of the red brick Historical Museum at the end of the Square opposite St. Basil's. We also enjoyed watching the uniform inspections of the guards at the ...

Must see
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 12/23/07
Awesome . Beautiful . So much history and culture in this place . The USA has no culture or history in comparison . I would highly recommend going to Moscow and visiting this place . I've been four times now and would love to go back . The horror stories ? I have experienced none , just use common sense and blend in with everyone else .

It was very interesting to see, I only seen Red Square on tv, seeing it in person was one of the best times I had. To walk there in person. Nothing to dislike about it.
