3. Bolshoi Theater
While catching the amazing ballets at this iconic theater might not be possible on your trip, the fountains and park in front of the theater are stunning. This area is one of our favorite to let our toddlers down for a few minutes while exploring the center of the city. While it’s a popular site, there are usually less crowds than the nearby Red Square. Be sure to check out Revolution Square and see what local foods you can get in the market or ride the carousel.
