Here the old mixes with the new, and nowhere is the combination more apparent than on Red Square and in the Kremlin. Once the stronghold of the Russian tsars and highlighted by magnificent cathedrals, including the landmark St. Basil’s, the square is the center of world attention for the parade on May Day (May 1) and the Anniversary of the Revolution (November 7).

Here is the famous Lenin Mausoleum. Inside the Kremlin walls is the seat of the Russian government, along with the famous Palace of Congress, often open to the public for ballet and opera performances. Here too is the famous Armory, now a museum where you could see the diamond collection, the Russian Crown Jewels.
