The Alexandrvskij Garden runs alongside the Western wall of the Kremlin and was the first public park in Moscow. It's not really large, but still a very nice place for a stroll.
Inside the park you'll find the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with the eternal flame. The changing of the guards here takes place every hour. Leave a Comment Directions: center Metro: Alexandrovskij Sad/Okhotnij Ryad/Biblioteka imeni Lenina

... I want to be cremated & have my ashes throw all over the Grand Canyon :-)
Mind you, I want to be free & not enclosed in a coffin.
Nothing more depressing than that!!!
& to take up space & drive up the prices of real estate?
Why would I ever want to do that???
Now, this guy Lenin couldn't even have his wishes honored! & his death wish as well! Poor chap...
Died in 1924 & still around today, oh..... sad.
The excuse?
The government wanted to preserve it for posterity!
It was said that the Russians found it to be a religious exprience by paying respect to his mummy.
??? Truly?
Respect for the dead or the alive? Leave a Comment

Building is wide known, but rare people paid attention to the fact that right wing is not like as left one.
There is the story that two projects of Hotel "Moscow" were presented to Stalin (to choose), but he don't pay attention and signed both... People hesitated to inquire again, so it was built that way: left side - one project, and right side - another.

This huge fortress has always been the center of power in Russia. It includes several buildings and yards, a few beautiful churches and cathedrals and some government buildings.
It is also the geographical center of the city, as many radial avenues start here. Leave a Comment

Next to Maneschny Square there was a hall built in the 19th century for horsriding - the hall did not have any columns inside which was a masterpiece of technology at that time - but finally some columns had to be added anyway
.
in front of this hall there is this great fountain that was a center of entertainment and fun for plenty of people in the hot Moscow summer... Leave a Comment

Following the Kremlin wall away from the Moskwa River one can observe the changing of the Russian guards. It is situated next to the monument of the fallen soldiers and has a permanent guard honouring the monument. Leave a Comment Directions: Next to the Kremlin

Buildings from the past epoque of communism
There are plenty of them. The most interesting are those that look like palaces, stylish apartment houses in reneissance or baroque style, but then there is always the symbol of red star or sickle and hammer. Those are so called palaces for people, so that average person could feel like a king. Leave a Comment Directions: This one on the picture is just a few steps from the Red Square, near GUM

Maybe it is a rather morbid suggestion but it is an experience quite unlike anything I have ever experienced before.
The body of Lenin was embalmed in 1924 and was eventually put on public display. The body lies behind a glass case and is guarded by numerous guards (who themselves look like statues whose only moving parts are the eyes).
Behind the tomb are the bodies of many of the other ex-leaders and important dignitaries. When I went into the tomb it was free of charge. However, all bags (even handbags) had to be left at the left luggage office and cameras were not allowed. The tomb seemed only to be open on a morning and during its opening hours access to Red Square was restricted. Leave a Comment Address: In Red SquareOther Contact: Metro station: Ploshchad Revolyu

No trip to Moscow could be complete without seeing St Basils Cathedral (known in Russian as Vasiliya Blazhennovo Khram).
A chance to see one of the most shown images of the city with your own eyes.It lives up to all expectations.
The construction of the cathedral was first ordered by Ivan the Terrible in celebration of victory over the Tatars. It was finished in 1560. It was damaged by fire in 1739 and was restored shortly afterwards. There is a legend that the designer of the cathedral was blinded after completion so that he could never build such a magnificent edifice again.
Inside the cathedral there is a display of icons and other religious artefacts as well as armour from the reign of Ivan the Terrible.
