Day 13: Nighttime in Red Square


On my last evening in Moscow I decided to go and have a look at the Red Square at night
A few of the surrounding streets were decorated with lights.


The GUM store





Walls of the Kremlin

St Basil's Cathedral





So it was goodbye to Moscow. There were many places I did not have time to see but I felt I had managed to see some of the most important areas of Moscow. I had enjoyed my visit very much.

  1. Glad you enjoyed the trip. It looks very cool and sparkly at night! Hard to believe there were once tanks in that square when hardliners tried and, at the time, failed to get rid of Russia’s most democratic of leaders, Mikhail Gorbachev. So much dramatic history everywhere!

  6. Not fussed on wedding cake building lighting but the flood lighting is good and your camera picked the buildings up well. It was nice to join you in your Russian journeys.

  18. Fabulous! What a memorable last evening you had in Moscow! If you have not yet read Gentleman in Moscow, you must. He lives his entire adult life locked in a hotel looking at Red Square. What a fascinating journey you enjoyed!
