ST. PETERSBURG
Early breakfast at hotel
Visit to the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood. It is one of the main sights of St. Petersburg. With its exuberant onion domes and almost gaudy mosaics, this extraordinary building just off Nevsky Prospekt was constructed in the early 20th century on the site of the 1881 assassination of Czar Alexander II. Used by the Soviets to store potatoes during the Second World War siege of the city by Nazi forces, the church was finally reopened to the public in 1997.
Also visit St. Isaac’s Cathedral – the main Church of the Russian Empire. The gold domed, 19th-century St Isaac’s Cathedral is one of St Petersburg’s most famous landmarks and offers wonderful views of the city from its gilded viewing platform. Statues of the apostles stand guard at the top of St Isaac’s, while its vast doors are decorated with biblical scenes.
Visit to the Hermitage Museum. The Hermitage is one of the largest museums in the world and it houses a huge collection of Western European Art, Oriental Art, Applied Art, Ancient Roman, Greek and Egyptian Art. The collection of the Hermitage consists of three million articles. The museum occupies 6 buildings situated along the embankment of the River Neva, right in the heart of St. Petersburg. Some say, if you wanted to see everything in this museum and stand in front of each object for a minute, it would take you about 6 months!
