Red Square The Heart of Russia Walking Audio Tour by VoiceMap

Red Square The Heart of Russia Walking Audio Tour by VoiceMap

This walk explores Red Square, the historic complex in the heart of Moscow that is called "red" because the word originally meant "beautiful" in Russian, not because of the colour of its walls.

In the Soviet Union period, this was the centre of the socialist cult. Today the complex serves as the official residence of the President.

You'll see cathedrals, museums, churches, 20 towers, several monuments, and a mausoleum along the way, as well as the most fashionable store in Moscow. You'll also see the Moscow Kremlin, the one-time official residence of the tsar.

The tour is ready whenever you are and the audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.
