GUM Department Store in Moscow

The famous department store that stretches along one side of Red Square for some 242 meters, GUM is a popular place with tourists. Comprising of some 200 shops, you can buy just about anything you need here, but generally you’ll pay much more for goods here than elsewhere. Shops range from exclusive, upmarket boutiques to popular chain outlets and from fast food cafes to elegant restaurants. The three-level, glass-roofed building is quite exquisite and well worth exploring even if you’re not shopping. Also, there's a great Soviet-style grocery shop at the east side of the shop open 24 hours and a Soviet-style cantine Stolovaya N10 at the top floor.
Open 10:00-22:00.
