Walking tour of Red Square and Alexander Garden
During this tour visitors will get acquainted with the main shrine of the country -- Red Square. There are hardly many people in Russia who have never been here! That's one of the greatest attractions of the country and its special symbol. This square has witnessed the most significant events in the history of Russia, and it’s where tourists and Muscovites flock to in order to marvel at the capital’s beauty.
When on Red Square, we"ll learn when this square emerged, and what it was used for. We'll familiarize ourselves with its most iconic sights: the Savior tower with its famous gigantic clock, the unique 16th century St. Basil Cathedral, the Historical museum and luxurious GUM department store.
We'll also see the Lenin mausoleum and the honorary necropolis at the Kremlin wall.
