Not worth visiting!

Impressive building

Very impressive but also the best example of russian “Art de Vivre”.
I loved the architecture I believe it was an official building before refurbishment but also the way the project promoters have redesigned the place to make one of the best shopping mall I have visited yet.

Too posh for us mere mortals

GUM is just too exclusive. Unless you have the dizzying wealth of a Russian oil oligarch, it make just make you feel inadequate and resentful of all the bespoke Dior dresses you can’t afford. The roof is cool though and the cafe serves a nice cup of coffee (the only thing I could afford!!)

This shopping mal didn’t sell nothing during socialistic time but nowadays you get all the desinger stuff in there. It belong to an Italian invester company.

A review of this place

Just another shopping mall – all of the Soviet history has long since been covered over by all-too-fashionable shops.

Look for the birds in the ceiling...

I agree with the others, Gum is just a standard collection of shops, but it’s worth popping in after you’ve seen Red Square, because they have a (deliberately kept) flock of birds (Starlings?) flying around inside the glass roof. That was quite a bizarre sight.
