GUM (pronounced Goom) - Moscow's most famous, but perhaps now least visited mall. It is located directly on Red Square as it is a state-run shopping center, and used to be the crown jewel of consumerism in Russia. Now, there are hundreds of malls in Moscow that would put any American shopping mall to shame.
Lenin's Tomb - Deserted on this Sunday afternoon, ten years ago you'd have to stand in line for hours to see him, today, we waited 20 minutes.
St. Basil's Cathedral - In my opinion, the most beautiful site in Moscow. Located at the end of Red Square, the cathedral was built during the time of the infamous Ivan the Terrible.
