Gostiny Dvor is a historic merchant court near the Kremlin and Red Square. The site has roots in Moscow's old trading district, with brick structures from the late 16th and 17th centuries later rebuilt and adapted for exhibitions and events.
The appeal is mainly architectural and historical. It is easy to include on a central Moscow walk around Kitay-Gorod, especially if you are interested in the old commercial quarter behind the grander state monuments.
