GUM is the largest and most recognizable department store in Russia, located in Moscow’s traditional trade center known as the Red Square. It was opened in 1893  and is just as recognizable for its majestic architecture as it is for its huge range of diverse shops and restaurants. The most intricate elements in the building are the large domed glass ceiling that provides tons of natural light, flowers dotted throughout the center and a gorgeous fountain in the center of GUM that became a popular meeting place.

GUM is home to some of the worlds’ most prestigious brands such as Gucci, Fendi and Dior. You can also find local stores such as the Gastronome, that was designed in the Soviet 1950s style and offers authentic Russian produce. There are also many cafes and restaurants in the center, some of the most popular of which are the Soviet-style cantine Stolovaya №57  and the popular GUM Ice Cream shop that offers handmade ice cream that still has the same recipe as it did when it was first opened in 1954.
