GUM ("Main universal store") occupies the entire block of the Kitai-Gorod and is facing Red Square. Prior to the 1921, the location was known as the Upper Trading Row.
Construction of the Upper Trading Row began in 1890. The opening ceremony took place on December 2, 1893.
The building consists of 16 blocks, connected by three longitudinal and three transverse galleries, above which there huge arched skylights of iron and glass. The glass-roofed design made the building unique at the time of construction.
By tradition, which is already a hundred years - if you lost each other in the mall, - meet near the fountain.
The most expensive boutiques are located in this shopping center. However, even a visitor without a platinum credit card can taste the ice cream that the store itself produces.

Hi @AkmalB
I meant that boutiques are only available to rich people.
However, every visitor can buy ice cream - it costs 50₽ (Russian rubles) = $0.84 (USD) :^) This is a usual price for an ice cream in the city. However, this shopping center make its own ice cream in waffle cups, with several fruit flavors. This ice cream can be bought only in the territory of this shopping center.

Ustedes 🇷🇺 están terceros, no pensé que Portugal 🇵🇹 estuviera con tantos puntos, Chile 🇨🇱 nos saco el lugar a nosotros 🙁, en fin suerte, en caso de que te guste el deporte ⚽️ podrías crear un hilo específico sobre el mundial en Rusia, contando ✍️ por ejemplo sobre los estadios, compartiendo una lista con Google Maps sobre los lugares donde se jugarán los encuentros. O los lugares más recomendados para los visitantes.
