Why Visit St Basil Cathedral
WhyThe unusual appearance of St Basil’s cathedral means there’s a lot to uncover. As Russia’s most recognisable building, this one is well worth paying to be shown around.
The inside of the cathedral surprises many. Used to grand, airy spaces of European cathedrals, visitors find St Basil’s interior a shock to the system. Full of stone tunnels, intimate chapels and busy engravings, your eyes are constantly drawn one way: upwards.

Faq?
The entry fee is 500 rubles (about £6) but it is free for children up to the age of 16.
The name is said to come, not from the Communist colour red or the red bricks of the square, but from the Russian term “krasnaya” which in old Russian means “pretty” – it’s the Pretty Square.
Between April and May, the weather will have gotten much warmer but the prices won’t have become expensive yet.
