Frozen Feet is a disease - I am not talking about it now.
I was lucky to Visit Moscow and stay there for 5 weeks. In Total, I got 4 weekends to explore the city.
I had chance to visit most of the best tourist sites of the city irrespective of the season being Winter and so is Frozen Feet.
1) Krasnayaskaya - The red Square, Kremlin, GUM Mall, V Lenin,
Red Square is a city square in Moscow, Russia. The square separates the Kremlin, the former royal citadel and currently the official residence of the President of Russia,
from a historic merchant quarter- Kitai-gorod. Red Square is often considered the central square of Moscow, because Moscow's major streets—which connect to Russia's major highways—originate from the square.
You can read more about it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Square
On the left of St Basil's Cathedral(The one you see in the picture), you have GUM mall which is the costliest in entire Russia. GUM mall is the most beautiful mall I have ever been too. You will be astonished to see such a beauty. On the right of the cathedral, You see the huge Kremlin wall where Mr Putin stays put. You should take Kremlin tours, you will get tickets for the same near the front gate of Kremlin Wall. In front of the Cathedral, you will find national history museum, don't miss the chance visit it. On the Red Square, you will get chance to see V Lenin's body, but you can only visit it between 10 AM to 1 PM. It was good to see such a stalwart alive.
2) Leo Tolstoy Museum and House
Being Indian, No one should miss a chance to visit Leo Tolstoy's house/museum given that his thoughts are put into action my our father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi. Sadly, I did not get chance to see the letters exchanged between them as they are not in display. But the Museum/house staff were very friendly with us as they identified as Indians.

3) Arbatskaya - The walk Street
If you ever want to buy souvenirs, Visit Arbatskaya. Its near to Red Square, better take Metro. Things are way cheaper than the city centre.
4) Moscow International Business Center and AFI Mall
I generally took Metro to reach any place in Moscow except the one which are near. To reach MIBC, as usual I took Metro, I reached the station. Just out of station, you see these huge structures standing still. That momentary turn sets the moment for the day. There is AFI mall nearby which is very good. I did a lot of shopping there.

5) Moscow University and Sparrow Hill
It was very cold day and I walked about 3 kms in -10 C day. I somehow managed to stay for 3 hours in -10 C which is very hard taking into account South Indian Standards. There is a cable car drive down the hill. You can see MIBC from the hill and you can also see the frozen tributary of river, Moskva of Volga. Its a beautiful view from the Sparrow hill.
6) Metros of Moscow
Last but not least, Metros of Moscow. Metro tourism itself, is very big and don't miss the chance to visit most of them.
That is my Moscow Story. Whats' yours?
