The historic fortified complex at the heart of Moscow encapsulates Russia's political and spiritual history. St. Basil's Cathedral, the red-brick Kremlin walls, and Lenin's Mausoleum make this a premier study in Russian architecture and culture. It is an absolute must-visit to understand the nation's imperial and Soviet past. Best visited in late spring or early autumn to avoid extreme temperatures.
