Of course, religion also. You just can not stop. If you have a chance to visit this place, go, go, go! You will never forget this amazing place and it will be an unforgettable experience for your whole life. You can learn a lot of things about Russia today and also in the past. ❤️ Привет из Сербии 💙

Very cool place to visit. The tour around the wall is totally worth it! Just bring good walking shoes cause there are lots of steps. The overlook is simply amazing! Great views of the rivers and countryside. Lots of paths for walking and benches for sitting.

You will have to visit this every once in a while, The experience is fascinating. I didn't cross the Chkalov Stairs, but the fire, playground, and the State Duma + Administration building was great. Would go again.

It's a very big place surrounded by history, museums, and the Volga. For that reason, you may wish to spend at least two days to catch the moments that are totally worth it.

The Kremlin offers a spectacular view of the city. You can take a sightseeing tour of four towers and a wall for 250 rubles (0.5$). A lot of old military equipment. A lively place. Very steep slopes, you need to be as careful as possible. Years of the construction of the towers are the 1500's. Nearby there are several good restaurants and cafes. There is a very long staircase to the embankment. In the Kremlin there are government buildings.

Very interesting place. With relatively well conserved walls and even some military vehicles from the second war era, the place is gives a nice experience for adults and children There are some gift small shops were you can get folk and soviet era souvenirs (the price is a little bit hide but nothing out of reality for a touristic place).

Beautiful Historic place

Well preserved heritage site. Walking through the bridge on iced river was an experience. The meeting hall inside was an experience in itself. Was thrilled to see India in a old map kept there. This place should be even more beautiful in summer. The guide was very helpful and describing everything patiently.

As a bonus when we were there we saw a bridal party taking pictures ! We loved sitting outside in the chairs that are in the grassy area and just enjoying. If you climb the small berm, you will see the wooden bridge and be rewarded with a special view of Suzdal.

Nice place with beautiful views and landscapes! Here are some museums and places for rest. It's possible to take sunshowers, free chaise-longues available. Take half an hour just for walk or about two hours in case of visiting museums for this Kremlin.

Museum inside Kremlin is worth visiting and also the church so i suggest buying ticket also to the buildings inside the Kremlin. You can also buy ticket just to the Kremlin area if youbare not interested in museums.

A picturesque monastery by the side of a small river. The architecture is beautiful and the whole place is well maintained. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Outside Moscow if you would like to have a real Russian experience this city is highly recommended. Traffic is heavy on weekends it took almost 5 hours to get there from Moscow centre on Saturday morning. Lots of areas for walks and green space for children to play.

Suzdal must visit. We did it in one day trip from Moscow. It is enough. We took fast train 7:15 morning and back 20:15 to/from Vladimir. From Vladimir taking local bus 159 from Autostation to Suzdal. Every 30 min. This is most picturized Russian town not destroyed by Soviet architecture and old industry. Like Russia 200 or 800 years ago. A lot of history and a lot to see.

Really history of russia

(Translated by Google) If you come to Vladimir, be sure to see it! You must not enter through the door with red letters above, but must enter through the iron door on the right and use the other exit! You can tell it apart because it has Assumption Cathedral written on the front of the building.

Great to just walk around! Lots of ticket optionsfor museums, gardens, and so on but I just went for Kremlin architecture which let's you walk around most places. Stunning sights and history!

It is a beautiful place, I love Lady church, and a small pond. All buildings are with various color, if the weather is good, it is worthy to stay a couple hours. Hopefully the church can make well preservation.

Beautiful and historical place. Few classic movies has been shot here like "Иван Васильевичь меняет профессию"

Just cash for the main entrance, too many middle interesting museums, but kreml' itself is super beautiful.

Type: Great Kremlin on a lake. + From a tower there is a very nice view of the lake. + Notable small marketplace. - The central entrance is without sign. - The gardens and paths in the Kremlin are poorly maintained.

Amazing, fantastic, magical. One of the most amazing Kremlins in Russia.

Beautiful place. Entrance fee 100 rub. Extra fee applied if you want to see the passages and museums, which are definitely worth it.

Worth a day trip from Moscow. Medieval city castle (Kreml), architectural monument. + Unique is the urban development along the Kremlin wall. Very large parts of the historic wall no longer exist today. Between the towers that still exist today, small terraced houses have been built along the line of the wall - unique. + Interesting, open Kremlin + nice view of the Moskva River. + good tourist infrastructure. + traffic-free zones. Downtown along the main street. On the outskirts the river Moskva flows into the river Oka.

Beautiful place...musut visit

Pure old Russian culture. A must see.

(Translated by Google) We visited the Kolomna Kremlin, and overall we really liked it, with the exception of some nuances. Tickets were booked on the Kolomna Kremlin website, and a confirmation was received by email from the Liga Tour company indicating the time and date. The tour started at the appointed time, and our group consisted of more than 30 people, which, in my opinion, is a minus. The excursion lasted two hours and took place outside on the territory of the Kremlin, and also included a visit to the towers. On the street, the guide ruined the whole impression: she gave the tour in an hour, moving quickly and speaking quietly. She was not interested in the fact that elderly people and children did not have time to catch up with her, and she did not react in any way to requests to wait for the others or to turn the microphone louder. But the excursion to the Kremlin towers was simply magnificent - interesting and exciting. We were greeted by guides in themed costumes, and everything went in one breath. The guide spoke with humor, tried to pay attention to everyone, and invited older people to sit on a bench. At the end, everyone thanked the guide and even applauded. (Original) Мы посетили Коломенский кремль, и в целом нам очень понравилось, за исключением некоторых нюансов. Билеты бронировали на сайте Коломенского кремля, и на почту пришло подтверждение от компании 'Лига-тур' с указанием времени и даты. Экскурсия началась в назначенное время, и наша группа составила более 30 человек, что, на мой взгляд, является минусом. Экскурсия длилась два часа и проходила на улице по территории кремля, а также включала посещение башен. На улице экскурсовод испортил все впечатление: она провела экскурсию за час, быстро передвигаясь и тихо говоря. Её не интересовало, что пожилые люди и дети не успевали догонять её, и на просьбы подождать остальных или сделать микрофон громче она никак не реагировала. Зато в башнях кремля экскурсия была просто великолепной — интересной и увлекательной. Нас встретили экскурсоводы в тематических костюмах, и всё прошло на одном дыхании. Экскурсовод рассказывал с юмором, старался уделить внимание каждому, а пожилым людям предлагал присесть на лавочку. В конце все благодарили экскурсовода и даже аплодировали.

(Translated by Google) The history of the Kolomna Detinets began at the beginning of the 14th century, the current stone Kremlin - in the middle of the sixteenth century. By the 21st century, six towers and the Pyatnitsky Gate, as well as fragments of walls, had been preserved. Everything looks impressive. Nowadays the territory of the Kremlin is an excellent public space, a great place for walking... Moreover, the Kremlin has many attractions and other tourist sites - from the Assumption Cathedral to cafes with Kolomna rolls... (Original) История Коломенского детинца началась в начале XIV веке, нынешнего каменного кремля - в середине века шестнадцатого. К XXI веку сохранилось шесть башен и Пятницкие ворота, а также фрагменты стен. Всё выглядит внушительно. Ныне территория кремля - отличное общественное пространство, великолепное место для прогулок... Тем более, что в кремле имеется множество достопримечательностей и прочих туристических объектов - от Успенского кафедрального собора до кафе с коломенскими калачами...

(Translated by Google) I love this place! It smells of antiquity, tranquility and some kind of power! It’s great to walk around, churches, cafes, shops, souvenirs, museums… (Original) Обожаю это место ! Веет стариной , спокойствием и какой-то силой !

The Holy Trinity-St. Sergius Lavra, located in Sergiev Posad, Russia, is one of the most important spiritual and cultural centers in the country. Founded in the 14th century, it's dedicated to St. Sergius of Radonezh and is renowned for its architectural beauty and religious significance. The Lavra's majestic cathedrals, monastic buildings, and holy relics attract pilgrims and tourists alike, offering a profound experience of Russian Orthodox spirituality and history.

An amazing place with such beauty not to be missed. It is the most important Russian monastery and the spiritual centre of the Russian Orthodox Church situated in the town of Sergiyev Posad, and currently is home to over 300 monks.

Point of interest not to be missed. Great site for photography and sightseeing with rich historical and religious interest. We happened to witness numerous members replacing another singing choir in very lovely high pitch voices at a significant event in the chapel.

Visited here in September, 2014. This unbelievably colorful abbey (or cathedral?) is the center of the area called "Sergiyev Posad". According to what I have googled, this abbey is like a symbol of Russian Orthodox Church. You can go there by train from a station in Moscow, taking about 1 hour. It's long a little bit, but you don't have to change a train on the way, so it might be just a great chance to see beautiful sceneries of the Moscow suburb from a train window. Personally I guess those who haven't been to Russia can never imagine this country really likes something colorful, especially churches and palace, but it is not the case. Once you have come here, sort of stereotype in your mind would be changed.

Свято-Троицкая Сергиева Лавра. Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra. A historical legacy of the historical development of the orthodox church in Russia, The building is shaped like a broad fortress and inside there are several buildings such as churches, monasteries and other buildings. In this place, you will find a lot of priests coming in and out between the prayer hall and the dormitory. When you enter the church complex you will see a magnificent gate with various paintings on the ceiling. The thick walls which partly start to peel with age but are maintained and well cared for. Besides being actively used as a place of worship, this place is also a museum. If you have free time you can stop by on the left side of the entrance there is a cafe run by a church that sells typical Russian food and according to the menu, all foods sold there are also menus of priests and residents of the monastery. Inside the area, you can find several shops selling various souvenirs, complete from key chains and simple magnets to beautiful and expensive icons. If you like jewelry and crystal work you can also buy it there. If you feel hungry around there is a bread shop, cafe and fresh fruit seller in the area.

The Sergei Trinity Monastery, also known as the Shergi Holy Trinity Monastery, the Holy Trinity Sergei Monastery, is the spiritual center of the Russian Orthodox Church, one of the most important monasteries in Russia, and the largest Orthodox monastery in Russia. . Located in the town of Sergiyev, 71 km north of Moscow. Created in 1345 by Saints Sergey of the monk Ladogne. After continuous expansion. There are many buildings in the courtyard that are different in age and style. It is now the seat of the Moscow and All-Russian Patriarchate. In 1993, it was included in the World Heritage List.

The place is spiritual. If your soul needs some rest, you should visit.

Located at Red Square Moscow, St. Basils Cathedral is a not to be missed place in Moscow. I would say that this place has an iconic value in Moscow. The beautiful architecture and colorful combination of the exterior of the building has no match.

How can one skip visiting one of Moscow’s most iconic landmarks? Before learning its true name, I used to think of it as the “Tetris building.” The kaleidoscopic exterior, crowned with its whimsical onion domes of irregular shapes, is truly mesmerizing. Inside, the chambers are adorned with centuries-old church icons. An absolute must-visit.

Visiting St. Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow was honestly a dream come true for me. I always imagined taking a photo standing right in front of this colourful and iconic cathedral, and finally being there in real life felt unreal. The moment I saw it with my own eyes, I got so excited because it looked exactly like the picture I had in my mind for so long. The cathedral is even more beautiful in person with its vibrant colours, unique onion domes, and detailed designs. It truly stands out in Red Square and feels like something from a fairytale. I walked around the area, took so many photos, and just enjoyed the view from every angle. It’s one of those places that gives you that “wow” feeling the moment you step close. For me, this was one of the most special moments of my trip, finally standing in front of the cathedral I always dreamed of. A must-visit when you’re in Moscow!

Located at the Red Square. St. Basil's Cathedral was built in 1555-1561 by the order of tsar Ivan the Terrible in honor of the victory of the Russian army over the Kazan Khanate. Its 16th-20th centuries interiors kept preserved. The vaults and walls of the cathedral was are richly decorated with murals, precious gifts of the royal family members are kept in the former sacristy. Wall paintings and church icons tells about the wonderful miracles of the Saint.

This place is iconic. You can't come to Moscow without seeing it. It's located right next to the red Square and during different times of the day, it takes on a different look with the sky behind it

One of nice things to see, dont miss it if you are there and not coming back to Mosco. Entrance is 2000 rubles, bit expensive for a foreigner compared to locals. Worth to see. If you have any an elderly person, be careful as there is a very narrow and high steeped stair to go to second floor.

It’s absolutely stunning - breathtakingly beautiful. The architecture, the detail, the colours, the heritage. Everything is historic and yet beautifully preserved and restored

Amazing Experience at Red Square, Moscow! Visiting Red Square was truly an unforgettable experience! The atmosphere is full of history, culture, and beauty. Standing in the heart of Moscow, surrounded by the stunning Saint Basil’s Cathedral, the Kremlin walls, and the State Historical Museum, felt like stepping into a living postcard. The architecture is breathtaking, especially at sunset when the lights make the whole square glow beautifully. Everything is so clean, organized, and well-maintained. Street performers, local cafes, and friendly people add to the lively vibe. It’s not just a tourist spot — it’s the soul of Russia, where the past and present meet. I would highly recommend everyone to visit Red Square at least once in their lifetime!

The very heart of the city is a must visit - it’s alongside the Kremlin and comprises other interesting buildings like Gum, the Kremlin, St Basil’s Cathedral, Lenin’s mausoleum etc. There are sights to see and places to eat. You can spend the entire day here.

Walking through Red Square is an experience that goes beyond simple sightseeing; it is truly where the grandeur of Russian history and architecture culminates. The moment you step in, you are struck by the imposing red walls of the Kremlin on one side and the colorful, onion-shaped domes of St. Basil’s Cathedral on the other. The cathedral’s architecture is so vibrant and whimsical that it looks like something out of a fairytale, making every angle a postcard-perfect shot. I highly recommend visiting both during the day and at night. In the daylight, the intricate details and colors are stunning, while at night, the illuminations of the GUM department store and surrounding buildings create a magical, lively atmosphere perfect for an evening stroll. The square is vast with historic cobblestones, which add to the charm, but I strongly suggest wearing comfortable walking shoes to fully enjoy the walk. Access via the metro is very easy, and although it’s usually busy, the sheer size of the square prevents it from feeling too crowded. Visiting the beating heart of Moscow is an absolute must.

Standing in Red Square feels like walking through a living postcard. Between St. Basil’s vibrant domes, the Kremlin’s mighty walls, and Lenin’s stoic tomb, history stares right back at you. Great for photos📸📸📸, people-watching, and soaking up the soul of Russia. 🇷🇺❤️

It is a very big place and the church is very beautiful. I am very impressed to have visited Russia. 👍🏻

Red Square is a must-visit landmark in Moscow that offers a truly memorable experience. The grandeur of the square, with its stunning architecture and historic significance, is awe-inspiring. The iconic sites, including St. Basil’s Cathedral and the Kremlin, create a breathtaking backdrop that captures the essence of Russia's rich history and culture. Walking around Red Square, I was struck by the beauty of the surroundings and the vibrant atmosphere. The square is impeccably maintained, adding to its allure and making it a pleasure to explore. Whether you're interested in history, architecture, or simply soaking in the local ambiance, Red Square provides a captivating and unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Moscow!

The Red Square stands as Moscow's most iconic historical site, encompassing a breathtaking array of landmarks and attractions. Surrounded by a beautiful mall and shops, this square boasts a rich tapestry of history, including the Kremlin, Lenin's grave, and the stunning Saint Basil's Cathedral. Each visit offers a profound journey through Russia's past, making it an essential destination for history enthusiasts and travelers alike.

Beautiful place with a rich history, energized atmosphere, and incredible architecture. Highly recommend the tour of the inside of the Kremlin, where you can visit cathedrals dating back to the 13th century. Great place to be anytime during the day, but especially at night! (I would also advise making a stop at the eternal flame, which honors the loss of soldiers' lives in WWII).

Can’t buy ticket online in advance. Nice place for first comers in Moscow!

A place full of history, the churches, and gardens are well worth the visit. Its impressive how this place is so well maintained. You can see the cannons left behind by Napoleon. You can also see iconic buildings from Russia's history although the tourist can really only see them from the outside, yet its still very worthwhile.

I am so happy I finally saw it! Catch the blooming lavender now!

It is the most popular place in Moscow. The beautiful square with towers. All of my life in Moscow I visited this place 7-8 times. I think that this square is the best for tourists due to its history.

Fantastic experience. We took the opportunity to take a cruise excursion into Moscow on high speed train. We had the most wonderful tour guide who had a great head of knowledge. It was a long day but so worth the money for the trip. Loved every minute of it. Would recommend the trip.

Amazing, a must see place. Have a tour that takes in the Cathedrals and the Treasury museum, spectacular. Finish it off by visiting Red Square in the evening, with everything lit up. Update Sep 2023 - that review didn't age very well!! 😲 Maybe we can revisit in about 20 years....

A very informative museum on how the railway was built in 1931. The museum guide speaks only Russian. Interactive - how to drive a train. Photo taking. The different type of train n equipment of different era.

This museum is not at the address informed for three years now!! The correct address is at Vystavochnaya station. This needs to be corrected. It is a nice space, only in Russian.

This is the wrong address and it’s very hard to find this museum. To make a long story short, you need to follow the signs to Vystavochnaya (выставочная) metro station. Right before the gates, you’ll see the museum. If you still can’t find it, show locals this photo and ask them for directions.

As others have explained and we sadly did not read about until to late, it would have saved us an hour in searching, the museum is in the Metro. Good place to see although very limited displays due to not having any space. Recommended on the way it has been created. Very informal and everything is in Russian. Dr Google gets a fail here in directions.

Great little museum dedicated to Moscow's impressive Metro system. Best thing: it's free, worst thing: most of the explications aren't in English. Still, its an interesting and cheap place to visit.

Very hard to find, it's beside one of the Metro stations in Aphimoll mall, go right down to the station entrance, it's on the left. Very little signage in English.

Nice place to spend time

Great place to visit with family and children. Territory is huge and you have real examples of different houses in different centuries. To see everything you need whole day. What is more, you can go to several master classes where you can learn how to do some things. On a territory are some places with different animals. Really sad to see hasky dogs in a cages.

Fun place. But that mostly for organized groups that book tours and kids over 8 yrs old. The cafes are ok. The Korchma with Russian-Ukranian good is supposedly one of best at this locale. Most activities and exhibits inside the general park area are at additional cost. At far above average prices.

Quite unique ethnographic park, but feels more like a theme park. Plenty to do for kids, but it will cost you!

The largest ethnographic park in Russia! The trip to ETNOMIR is a bright and incredibly informative holiday in the Moscow region all year round. Unique excursions, master classes, animation and folklore programs, authentic country hotels, many cafes of national cuisine, festivals and holidays. More parking space. Presentation of different countries. I worked with the famous singer of Russia Natalia on a music video song ‘у меня есть только ты’ at ethnomir

It is better to visit it on weekends. Nice atmosphere of all over the worls culture, traditions, crafts and workshops. Big territory for walking around. Hasky and bird farm are great )

This is my first time in Etnomir. So, definitely it is a great place. There are many architecture styles that was merged into Mir Street and hotels. I was extremely impressed by facade of the Nepal hotel. In spite of this feeling with family we were staying in the hotel of East Asia and room was clean and sweet. And as we were lucky with the weather we could visit every place in this huge area and just relax in place that out of carbon dioxide and full of the fresh air in harmony with nature

Много интересного!! Very unique. Restaurant Glush is a must-see!!! Delicious food and very unique setting!

Amazing park, need at least two hours to walk around!

Catherine Palace, it is a park in Tsarskaya Village, Russia, located 25 km southeast of St. Petersburg. Catherine Park gets its name from Catherine Palace, and the park is divided into two parts: the Garden and the English Garden. When you come to St. Petersburg, you should take a stroll and enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the area

The park itself is nice, but the palace is super underwhelming inaccessible. You have to buy ticket for each small section of the palace, and it’s quite pricey as well. In addition, there is absolute no English translation, no English audio or tour guide, and the staff does not speak any English at all as well.

There are a lot of beautiful places around the world where you will feel happy and relaxed yourself. And Catherine Park is definitely one of those places. I had so warm walk with my soulmate in the amazing place with incredible views just everywhere you turn your head. The perennial trees, ponds, beautiful buildings with a long history. So precious moments of life.🤍

My family's favorite park grounds. We walk the grounds at least once a year. There are lots of fun paths for kids to explore. If you bring nuts you can also sometimes feed squirrels or chickadees. Don't forget to walk behind the palace to the left and explore some lovely gardens with statues there.

Amazing gardens. There are several pavilion to visit and they all have wildly different styles, which makes it fun. Some are available to visit with a ticket (like the amazing Cold Baths, where the Agathe Rooms are located) and some can be visited for free (like the Chinese style pavilion and the Italian Style pavilion with authentic roman mosaics from the 2nd century) Just strolling around is nice, and they are more chilled than Petergof, with lots of locals enjoying the scene.

A dream of a spacious garden. The beautiful Baroque palaces are surrounded by fantastic French and English gardens. There are also various very interesting outbuildings. You have to search in Europe for a long time to find comparable.

OMG wow, this place is amazing the history is absolutely mind blowing. They have great tours you get a set of headphones and a map and it’s done many different languages. You’ll need a few hours for this place as there is such a lot take in. Everywhere you look there’s something to go well, the mosaics the size of things in here is just amazing. If you come to Saint Petersburg, you definitely have to visit this place even if it’s the only one you visit. The place is just absolutely stunning. There’s plenty of other little touristy thingsto buy outside in a few inside. This place is truly amazing.

In my opinion, it is one of the most beautiful places in the city. The place is old traditional and distinctive. Every wall is decorated with mosaic stone, which gives it a very beautiful appearance. The pictures dont give the place how is beauty. It is worth a visit. By the way it's easy to buy and ticket

Beautiful monument and must visit if you are in Saint Petersburg. Located on a river and it attracts your attention from far. A colorful building with special and unique architecture from outside. Tickets are available at the entrance and are available online. Price for entrance is 450 Rubles. The church inside is an absolute masterpiece of art. Colorful walls, and beautiful architecture. You can feel you are walking into a piece of art and being part of it. The visit took me around fifteen minutes in total. The right place to take nice pictures and videos.

This is the most beautiful church I have seen in my life. It is full of beautiful details, this church makes you feel safe and peaceful.

A very amazing place with lively architect and paintings. Highly recommended to visit.

Another beautiful Cathedral located in Saint Petersburg and one of the most famous in Russia along with St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow. If you like beautiful historical architecture then do visit this beautiful and picturesque place. Amazing place, Must visit!

Visited Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood The place is crowded but calming, have to be careful of pick pocketers.

Palace Square in St. Petersburg is a stunning and historically rich site. Here are some highlights: 1. **The Winter Palace**: Once the residence of the Russian tsars, it features elaborate Baroque architecture and is now home to the Hermitage Museum. 2. **Alexander Column**: The impressive granite column is a symbol of Russian victory and stands at the center of the square. 3. **General Staff Building**: This Neoclassical building, with its grand arch, serves as the headquarters for the General Staff of the Russian Army. 4. **Spacious Layout**: The vast open space is perfect for gatherings, cultural events, and festivals. 5. **Surrounding Gardens**: Lush gardens and walkways provide a beautiful backdrop to the stunning architecture. Visiting Palace Square offers a glimpse into Russia's imperial history and architecture..

Absolutely breathtaking. Every hall feels like a step into another world — from da Vinci to Rembrandt, pure art magic. The Winter Palace itself is a masterpiece. You could spend days here and still be amazed. A must-visit in Russia. 🌟

I majestic statue infront of Hermitage museum. It is also part of the city buss tour if you're planning to take one.

Certainly, St. Petersburg's Palace Square is undeniably one of the most beautiful places in Russia. Situated at the heart of the city, it serves as a focal point for many historic sites, much like Moscow's Red Square. Located directly across from the Hermitage Museum, the square is dominated by the imposing 47.5-meter-tall Alexander Column at its center, making it hard to miss. This expansive open space is a popular meeting point for both locals and tourists, surrounded by many of the historical sites St. Petersburg has to offer. A trip to St. Petersburg would be incomplete without a visit to this iconic landmark of Russia. by: dizzy traveler

Thank so much guys . Can't wait to visit again in Moscow and st Petersburg . Love you Russia ♥️

It is an amazing plaza known for its gigantic and beautiful buildings. Its the power centre of Saint Petersburg and one should definitely visit this place when visiting the city. Its also the biggest and one of the most beautiful museums of the world. I enjoyed my day in the city a lot.

Beautiful. I went in February in the snow and again in May just before Victory Day. So gorgeous both times. The Hermitage and the square are breathtaking. Pictures from 120 years ago show the Hermitage with a different colour scheme which was more of a brown colour

The State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia, is an absolute must-visit for anyone traveling to the city. It’s not just a museum — it’s a journey through art, history, and beauty all in one place. Founded by Catherine the Great in 1764, the Hermitage is one of the largest and most impressive museums in the world, with over three million works of art and artifacts. From ancient Egyptian relics to masterpieces by Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, and Van Gogh, there’s something here to amaze every visitor. The main building, the Winter Palace, is a work of art itself. Its grand halls, golden staircases, and lavishly decorated rooms will leave you speechless. Walking through it feels like stepping straight into the era of Russian emperors. Every corner is picture-perfect — a mix of stunning architecture and world-famous paintings. One of the highlights is the European art collection, especially the Italian Renaissance and French Impressionist galleries. You can easily spend an entire day exploring and still feel like you’ve only scratched the surface. Whether you’re an art lover, a history buff, or just someone who appreciates beautiful places, the Hermitage Museum will absolutely captivate you. It’s more than a museum — it’s an experience that will stay with you long after your trip. Don’t forget your camera and some comfortable shoes — you’ll need both!

Holy moly, if this place doesn’t blow your socks off. I don’t know what will. Absolutely amazing this place is huge you cannot see everything and just one visit. I came back a second time by myself just to take the amazing ore of this place. if there is no people around it would be like stepping back in time. It is amazing to think that things like this were built hundreds and hundreds of years ago and to think that this was built for one family it’s truly breathtaking and mind-boggling about the size of this amazing structure. If there’s only one thing that you can do in Saint Petersburg I would say come here. It’s easy a day visit or like me two days just come and see for yourself. It’s amazing.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely stunning experience. The Hermitage is truly one of the most impressive museums I’ve ever visited. The art, the history, and the architecture left me speechless. I loved every minute of it — a must-see if you're in St. Petersburg!

I enjoyed every step of this museum that every galery takes you away from the time. Even cloakroom has a perfect order to control the crowd. The queue took nearly 20 min even it was weekend. Strongly get a map which was distrubuted in many languages before get in. The all building is a kind of labyrinth ✨✨✨

One of the main attractions in Saint Petersburg. Absolutely one of the greatest museums i have ever visited. Ticket costs 509 rubles. You have the option to get the tickets from the counter, or buy the tickets online. Stunning Architecture that makes you feel like you traveled through the time. A large variety of art work. Time needed to visit the palace is between two hours and a half, and three hours. A counter is available to hang your coat, and you get a token. The token number will later help you find the exit that you entered from. Several exits are available and it is easy to miss your dedicated exit. Absolutely a must visit site if you are in Saint Petersburg.

Of course this place is a must see for every traveler. However you should be prepared for min. 3 hours of chaotic travel inside the museum, with many parts having only Russian descriptions. In my opinion the museum should have less expositions and more descriptions.

Must visit in Petersburg. The most impressive museum in the world for me. Seperate at least 4-5 hours for here.

Entrance tickets cost 5$ which you can get on the cathedral. Special discounts for students. You be taking almost 170-180 steps going up to reach the upper deck view. It is a place worthy of staying a bit longer once you reached the top. You're lucky if you go there with the sun up if not be ready with a jacket to keep you warm. Sadly the cathedral was closed for inside tours.

So many cathedrals that are so spectacular and amazing and a boggles the mind how these things were even built with their large scale everything from the doors to the front pillars that are 17 t it’s just amazing to think that these were built without machines they were made with hand manpower. Once you get inside and see the amazing mosaics and mighty structures and huge iron doors that weigh around 5 t each. There is an awesome talking tour which you get with some headphones and a little map of the cathedral which is very informative and very helpful to help you understand how much work went into it’s a building of the cathedral, totally amazing if things were built like this these days there would be a lot of amazing buildings not just a normal concrete jungle. There is a lovely little gift shop inside that supports the church. A must do to buy something as I did a nice passport leather wallet and I must say the quality was just amazing like everything else here. It’s so easy to immerse yourself into this culture, St Petersburg is such an amazing pace, with so many awesome things to see. As a foreigner I felt very welcomed and all the places that I visited, so if you’re wondering whether or not to go just do it it’s amazing.

We were on a cruise thru the Baltic Sea and one of the main stops was in St Petersburg. We had all day and signed up for an all day tour organized by the cruise ship. We made just a quick stop here for photos but did not have time to go inside.

Definitely the best Cathedral in Europe, so gigantic and gorgeous! Please go to the top more than 250 steps!

Visited St. Isaac's Cathedral on our vacation to Russia. We were awestruck by the cathedral. The inside of the cathedral is Majestic and it is worth the money you pay.

This cathedral is such a fanatic, adorable place. It’s truly one of the must-see places in Saint Petersburg.

This is a place not to miss and worth to see and explore. I do recommend to buy tickets in advance as there is a line of people and it will take some time to buy them on the spot and enter. Plus is they have for a small fee audio guide so you can explore on your own and walk around. I was really impressed by the beauty of it both from the inside and outside. Also there is a package of tickets to buy which will grant you access to the upper part of the building. Recommend to visit 👌

Not too expensive and it's really really good, so many fountains. So many views. So much green. But during peak times it can get crowded. And so many people taking photos. The big museum is for additional fee, but even the garden is difficult to visit all in one day.

Great but a bit smaller than expected. Takes around 15 mins to walk the entire complex on your own, 45 if part of a tour. Summer season still on as of writing, so separate tickets for the garden, then the palace complex for 3,200 RUB total. You need the garden ticket to enter the compound, turn left, then enter the palace building. No line at ticket counters on a weekday 2 PM. Practically empty. Just 3-4 tour groups and they move fast.

This place is a must see, we had a great time and the weather was amazing. Prepare for long walk all around the park and lots of fountains perfect for the kids.

expensive because you will need 2 ticket just to go inside and for museum separately as well, long walks and expensive water bottles and food. Must say amazing architecture

Opulence turned into landscape. The palace feels like it was built just to prove what human hands can do when given no limits. Golden statues everywhere, fountains that move with impossible precision, and that long axis leading straight to the sea, pure theater. Inside, it’s mirrors, chandeliers, and silence heavy with history. Outside, it’s joy and spectacle. You walk away a little dazzled, a little jealous, and completely convinced that beauty can be engineered.

Fable-like palace displaying the power and richness of the czars. The lavish interiors and the gigantic gardens with their water-plays are a testament to an era of nearly infinite wealth (for them of course not for the country). Impressive

We were on a cruise thru the Baltic Sea and one of the main stops was in St Petersburg. We had most of the day and had a great all day tour organized by the ship. One of the highlights was the Peterhof Palace and gardens. We had tickets in hand arranged by the cruise tour group. The palace was very nice but the gardens were spectacular. Just amazing and so perfectly maintained.

One of the most beautiful cathedrals in St. Petersburg! Location is pretty far, but you can see cityscape and surroundings

Really beautiful building with an interesting history, built and paid for by the sailors of Kronstadt, restored back to it's full original splendour. Definitely worth a visit when in St Petersburg. It is a bit of a mission to get there, it is close to Peterhof however.

The Naval Cathedral of St. Nicholas is truly the heart and soul of Kronstadt — a breathtaking masterpiece that perfectly blends spirituality, history, and architecture. From the moment you see its golden dome rising above the city, you understand why it’s often called the “Naval St. Isaac’s Cathedral.” The exterior is majestic, but the real magic begins once you step inside. The interior is filled with shimmering mosaics, marble floors, and intricate icons, all dedicated to the memory of Russian sailors who lost their lives at sea. The atmosphere is both solemn and awe-inspiring. Whether you’re religious or simply love art and history, this cathedral leaves a deep emotional impression. The acoustics are amazing — if you’re lucky, you might even hear the choir during a service. The cathedral stands on Anchor Square, surrounded by naval monuments and museums, which makes it the perfect centerpiece of a day trip to Kronstadt. Tip: Visit in the late afternoon for the best sunlight on the domes and fewer crowds. ⭐ Rating: 5/5 — A must-see landmark and one of the most beautiful churches in Russia.

This remains a functional church, also with a second floor (no tourist access) meaning the interior is less grandiose and relatively small, however no less ornate than other churches you may visit. Worth a visit of you have some extra time, the most beautiful views are from the exterior with the baby blue facade.

Definitely worth visiting if you're on travel trip in Kronstadt. It has 3 levels and you can get on every of these levels. I recommend visiting the top level, it is located under the dome and you can observe whole city from there.

Beautiful church. It offers to buy candles and other souvenirs from this church. It is close to parks and the harbor. Definitely worth a visit. Dress modest when visiting. Best is to bring a shawl for ladies, because they require the head to be covered. They provide shawls in case you do not have one. No restroom inside, but there are restrooms closeby, you have to pay though.

A very beautiful Cathedral of Russian Military Navy Fleet of 1907 construction. A lot of symbols inside and outside. You can get up to the 4-th level with excursion

Kids under 16 can get a free ticket! (Not valid for the tower). 🥳 However, people under 16 cannot visit this island without an adult. 😔

Nice museum even just entrance ticket to the island ( 100rub for Russian and 200 rub for foreigners but foreigners can enter the island with 100rub if you buy ticket in the machine)

Museums are definetely not worth it, but you should 100% stroll around the castle itself. Very nice views, vibes are different from other places in the whole country (well it is the only real preserved medieval castle in all of Russia). 100% recommend but DO NOT TAKE PHOTOS with people dressed like knights and ladies, they will take all your money and then some!

Worth enough to visit ! The museum tell us a lot about the history of Vyborg. Most of discriptions are written in Russian but unexpectedly there are some English,also! +At the end of October, some parts of the castle were under construction so I couldn't see the whole Tips: They offer a special discount for Russian student card holders! And I'm not sure about international student ID card but at least we can try it :)

Definitely a must in Vyborg, still under restoration in some parts of the castle. But a mission up the stairs to the viewing platform over the city of Vyborg, an mediaeval fortress town.

Fantastic museum with several very different exhibitions, amongst them one being about the civic history of the Finnish period of Wyborg and the ecological make up of the region. Small and sweet and I would highly recommend!

Beautiful historically important castle dates to the Middle Ages. Located in the nice town of Vyborg.

Charming bed and breakfast spot in Porvoo. A shame we only stayed one night but the accomodations were cozy and inviting. The room we stayed in had a kitchen as well as a spacious living room. The living room had a nice view of the river. It was in the center of the town and easily accessible to the old and newer areas of Povoo. This would be a nice place for summer trip with the family.

Very cute B&B along the river in Porvoo, Finland. I stayed in the Star Room, which is a bit separated from the main property. Owner knocked on the door as I arrived. He apparently also owns the nearby restaurant Ranta-aitta, which had its commissary and bathrooms across from the property. Be aware this property and its windows all face an alley that will have fairly heavy foot traffic in the afternoon/evening hours because of the restaurant. I immediately drew all the blinds when I entered the unit. Other than that privacy inconvenience, the location is fantastic, right on the main strip of the old town of Porvoo. Inside the unit you have a nicely functional kitchen and washer/dryer (which I used and was very convenient). There's two bathrooms, one with a shower and one without. Shower is a bit small and confining, but solid. The chairs in the kitchen were not super comfortable and the wifi didn't reach the bedroom very well, so if you need to do something online for a decent amount of time the unit isn't the most ergonomic solution for this situation. There is a piano in the unit! I did not play or know if it was actually encouraged but it's something to consider. There is access to a sauna that's across the street from the main property, which I used. Its heat doesn't get much higher than 60-70ºC but with plentiful water you can get enough steam for a good sweat. Breakfast was solid.

We (two adults) stayed at Ida-Maria in Jan/2021 for two nights in ”Pieni huoneisto, puutarhanäkymä”. The room was lovely, cozy and clean. Delicious breakfast and very good service! All of this in the heart of Porvoo Old Town. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

Beautiful river view from our bedroom. Fantastic breakfast in the red historic houses on the river. We had a great time, thank you!

If you like old-fashioned Finnish places, this is just perfect. Nice clean place to stay. Excellent service.

Everything is pretty good here! Only the pillow is a bit uncomfortable. But the location is great. My favorite is breakfast and sauna. Definitely recommended.

Peaceful place to stay overnight in the old city center, simple yet very good breakfast, small garden where you can eat breakfast and enjoy blossoming plants.

If you love history and nature, this is a "must visit" for you. Take a ride on a ferry, ca 15 min from Helsinki and spend a day on this island. I suggest taking your time, the whole day, if you want to explore the island. There are cafes and restaurants, if you get tired or hungry. There is a supermarket, where you can get coffee and warm pastries. There are museums which are defenitely worth visiting. Walk along the shore and enjoy amazing views. Go explore the tunnels for sure, if you dare. Have a picnic if you wish. There are so many things you can do and see. The guide is also available. WCs are everywhere. It is easy to spend the whole day there and swith off the rest of the world.

I had heard great things about Suomenlinna and I wasn’t disappointed! Such an adorable little island. It is filled with history and just lovely to walk around. Such easy access to get to, you don’t want to miss this on your next visit in Helsinki:)

Frequent ferris daily to reach the island. Enjoy the tranquility time travel walk. We arrived there before daybreak, the unmanned visiter information center was open, supplying warmth, wifi, toilets and maps.

Suomenlinna is an incredible place to explore and soak up Finnish history. The island is full of historic fortifications, museums, and scenic walking paths, with stunning views of the sea and Helsinki’s harbor. It’s peaceful and easy to wander around, with plenty of spots to relax and take photos. Perfect for a day trip, whether you’re interested in history, nature, or just enjoying a unique part of Helsinki. Highly recommended! Also the ferry’s to and from the island are efficient and come very often. Also free with the HSL transport ticket!

Fantastic day out to this set of small Islands, good restaurants and cafes with lots to see. Cost of the ferry €3.20 one way. Free entry into the Islands, bring the kids and be prepared to do a lot of walking the ferry takes 15 minutes, plenty of toilets everywhere.

Only fragments of the fortress survive, mostly stretches of old stone walls and a few scattered pieces of artillery such as catapult remnants, yet the site is still a great place to wander and enjoy sweeping sea views. It can be extremely windy and cold, even in summer, so bring a sweater or other warm layers. If you like open landscapes mixed with a touch of history, it is well worth a visit.

Half day trip destination when in Helsinki. Fairyboat ride back and forth, couple of restaurants over there, really beautiful nature, well preserved history elements... All in all excellent destination to escape from the city crowds and chaos

Beautiful church. Unfortunately, it was being renovated on the exterior when I visited... so that took away from the overall astetics. Also, the inside was a little stark compared to other cathedrals I've visited in Europe, but I still think it's worth a visit if you are in Helsinki.

Helsinki Cathedral is one of those landmarks that instantly takes your breath away. Standing tall above Senate Square, the white neoclassical façade with its green domes is iconic from every angle — whether you see it from the harbor, the square, or climbing up the grand steps. Inside, the cathedral is calm and minimalist, a beautiful contrast to its imposing exterior. The high ceilings and soft natural light create a sense of quiet majesty, and it feels more like a space for reflection than decoration. The views from the steps are also worth it — you can look out across the city and the harbor, making it a perfect photo spot. It’s free to enter, easy to reach in the heart of Helsinki, and honestly a must-see whether you’re into architecture, photography, or just soaking up the city’s atmosphere.

Beautiful cathedral! Make sure to also visit the nearby Uspenski Cathedral. Unfortunately, this one was under construction, so we couldn’t experience it fully, but the restoration work was covered nicely, giving a good sense of its full appearance. The interior was lovely — definitely a must-see if you’re already in Helsinki!

We had a special experience visiting Helsinki Cathedral as they were displaying Luke Jerram’s MARS within the cathedral. Cathedral is beautiful in itself but seeing the scaled replica of Mars with the sound track made for a unique experience. The cathedral is something to see when visiting Helsinki

Helsinki Cathedral is a landmark right in the heart of the city, and it is truly breathtaking at any time of day. Morning, afternoon, or night — the atmosphere changes beautifully, and each visit feels different. You can climb the steps and enter the cathedral, where the calm and solemn interior offers a moment of quiet reflection. During my stay in Helsinki, I found myself visiting almost every day. From 28 November onwards, a Christmas market is held in the square in front of the cathedral, making the area even more lively and festive. My schedule didn’t allow me to attend this year, but watching the preparations made me want to return and experience it in the future. A stunning place that never fails to impress.

It was a pleasant tourist attraction with a large square. Regrettably, several areas were undergoing renovation during our visit. However, there were still a considerable number of tourists present.

Helsinki Cathedral and it truly lives up to its reputation as one of the city’s must see landmarks. The white neoclassical building looks stunning both up close and from the Senate Square below. Inside it’s peaceful and beautifully simple a nice place to pause for a moment away from the city noise. Don’t miss the view from the steps outside; it’s a perfect spot to sit, take photos, and just enjoy the atmosphere.

Temppeliaukio Church, also known as the Rock Church, is a stunning example of modern architecture. Designed by architect brothers Timo and Tuomo Suomalainen, the church was completed in 1969 and is carved directly into solid granite. Its unique design features a massive copper dome and natural rock walls, creating a serene and awe-inspiring atmosphere. The interior is circular, with natural light streaming in through 180 window panes, highlighting the rough-hewn rock surfaces. The acoustics are exceptional, making it a popular venue for concerts and events. Visitors can enjoy the peaceful ambiance and admire the innovative design that blends nature and architecture seamlessly. While the €8 entrance fee is reasonable for such a unique experience, it's advisable to check the schedule for any events or services that might be taking place during your visit. Overall, Temppeliaukio Church is a must-visit attraction in Helsinki, offering a memorable experience for architecture enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.

This distinctive church, renowned among tourists, features two stories. For those interested in photography, I would suggest going upstairs, as it offers a more convenient angle to capture the captivating interior. Please be aware that there is an entrance fee.

Such a cool church. On the eye, probably the most aesthetically pleasing. €8 euro entry fee, but id say it was worth it to see. Just a beautiful church

Beautiful and interesting church. Worth a visit. You do not need a long visit but nice to take a look around and admire the structure. NOTE: They do not have any public restrooms when you are visiting

We visited this "stone church" or "church in the rock" on purpose. The relatively expensive admission fee (€8) is surprising, as it discourages tourists who are only interested in taking photos, but also those who would like to appreciate the unique architectural design and modern sacred atmosphere, which is truly unique. We sat listening to pleasant ambient music for about 40 minutes and silently watched the preparations for the event, when hundreds of (unfortunately electronic) candles were lit. The visit was pleasant, and the space invites you to return just for the atmosphere. However, due to the not-so-symbolic admission fee (especially for poor visitors from Eastern Europe), I would think twice about it.

I loved the architecture of this church beautifully made - never seen anything quite like it !! Thus i find the ticket pricing should be at least 5 euros when theres no service as theres not a lot to see , its just one main room.

Unique church, luckily a pipe organ artist came in to practice when we were visiting. The music was phenomenal. The church is very acoustic, must be ideal for a concert experience. And there’s no cross in the church. We learned it’s the open heart of Christ accepting everyone with any religion.

The Tallinn town hall is your typical museum setup. Info about the old town since the 1300s. Not much to say about that. The tower was pretty cool though. Got to go up to the bell and see the city from there. Not sure if the €20 was worth it.

A top stop! Lovely preserved old building with cool stuff and good descriptions in English. Plenty to see, it’s not just a reading experience. The floor just under the roof is super cool. If you’re up to it, climb the tower for a unique view. Note the climb is very steep, can be very crowded and may have a long.

Most people only talk about the Tallinn Town Hall for its beautiful building, but there is so much more to it. Can you imagine that it has a museum inside? I didn’t know until I went there. I like the museum because it talks about a special street, the “Pikk Street”, in Danish this would translate to “dick street”. Good thing Estonia isn’t Danish anymore. But funnily enough this reminded me of all the Dicks Streets back in Luxembourg. A strangely comforting thought. There are many places to sit down in the museum, which is a criteria I always use to rate the visitability of a museum. Especially because I have a friend who loves to sit down. The more my friends can sit, the happier I am. We also found out about the Estonian fascination with weather vanes. They’re not just regular weather vanes, they are enormous. You can really not miss them on top of churches or in this case inside the museum. Now coming back to the start, people may admire the view of the building but from the museum you have a beautiful view onto the city. It really is a must visit.

This old town feels like stepping straight into a fairy tale – except instead of a dragon, you’re most likely to bump into a tourist wielding a selfie stick. Narrow cobblestone streets twist between colorful medieval buildings, and no matter which way you go, the town hall finds a way to peek at you from somewhere – like it’s playing hide and seek, and always winning. The atmosphere takes care of itself. While you're sipping coffee or nibbling on a local pastry, a horse-drawn cart might gently roll by, and someone in medieval costume could pop around the corner. For the tourists? For fun? Or maybe just a lost time traveler. Who’s to say. Town hall itself is a Gothic masterpiece from the 14th century, and it still holds court with pride. If Tallinn does one thing exceptionally well, it's blending history with charm. And if you find yourself taking photos of the same tower from every imaginable angle… trust me, you’re not alone. This place does that to people.

Tallinn Town Hall has its own museum inside dedicated to both the building’s past and the city’s. It was interesting to learn that there were writings about the Town Hall from 1200s. Entrance fee is 20 euros but free if you have a Tallinn city card.

Tallinn Town Hall is a stunning landmark that perfectly captures the spirit of the Old Town. The Gothic architecture, intricate details, and panoramic views from the tower make it well worth a visit. Inside, the exhibits give a fascinating glimpse into Tallinn’s rich history and civic life. Whether you’re exploring the square below or climbing to the top for amazing city views, the Town Hall is a must-see stop for anyone visiting Tallinn!

It takes about an hour to look round the town hall. The tapestries and carvings are nice, I was lucky in that one of the employees who works in the museum was happy to answer questions about the exhibts. The attic has lots of information boards explaining how the town hall was restored. The cellar contains an older version of the weather vane 'Old Thomas' but there is no explanation as to who he was. Would not recommend to a family with children.

This is a fantastic museum, I only really wanted to go for the sake of going inside submarine. However, it turned out to be so much fun. It's very interactive, lots of exhibits for you to play around with. You can go in a flight simulator, drive toy boats, climb netting from a ship mast & much more. Out the back, there's also boats you can see/go on with your ticket. Be careful trying to climb inside the submarine though, it's not an easy feat 😂. This museum is included in the Tallin card which I highly recommend you buy.

Simply put one of the best museums I’ve been to. It’s like no expense was spared when building this place. They have a beautiful building which houses a huge submarine that you can fully explore. They have lots of interactive exhibits including a flight and boating simulators. And outside there were at least four boats or small ships you could go on. I would highly recommend vista if museum if in Tallinn.

Wonderful naval museum! They have an original mine laying submarine from the 1930s as the centerpiece; also a very interesting section about the Estonian Navy; plus the remains of an medieval boat; plus a large section about sea mines; plus so much more. And they have lots and lots of activities for kids, like two bi-plane simulators, some boat simulations, a harborbwhere you can steer your own ship .., it is just a marvellous place if you are interested in maritime things. And there also is a very nice café on a terrace overlooking the museum. A clear highlight of any visit to Tallinn! There is ample parking space around the museum, but you have to pay with the Snabb-App, since the parking is managed by this company. And beware - they are diligently checking, if you have paid ...

Superb museum. This is how items should be displayed in a 21st century museum. Fantastic lighting, interactive displays and interesting artifacts. No dusty cabinets here. Highly recommended and don't forget to go outside and go on the boats as well, they are included in the entrance fee but this wasn't made clear when we arrived 😁

As a Londoner, I'm spoilt by having some of the biggest and best museums in the world. So, it's a compliment to this one when I say it's very good - thoughtful design and consideration for users, balancing the needs of kids and adults. The Estonian airforce and navy have always been small, so the breadth and depth is limited, but what there is, is well stated. However, I was perplexed that no date was given for their star archaeological exhibit (the skeleton of the wooden boat). Well worth 1-2 hours, especially as the surrounding area has great food and other interest.

Lennusadam is one of the most impressive museums I’ve ever visited 🚢✨. Housed in a stunning seaplane hangar, it combines history, technology, and hands-on fun in the best way. Walking through a real submarine, seeing historic ships up close, and exploring interactive exhibits makes it an experience for all ages. The building itself is breathtaking, and the harbor views outside are just as beautiful. A perfect mix of learning and adventure—this isn’t just a museum, it’s a full journey into Estonia’s maritime past.

Great mix of maritime vessels to see here, including the main attraction submarine which you can board. Some interactive displays/games too. Videos on the history of the site and building. We spent around 2 hours here but didn’t read every exhibit.

Turku Castle was an impressive and pleasantly surprising visit. At first glance, the exterior didn't seem particularly breathtaking, but as I got closer and walked around the grounds and then inside the castle, I appreciated it a lot more. I spent a full three hours exploring the castle, and there was so much to see and learn. The exhibits were great, with lots information and interactive elements that provided more insight into the intertwined history of Sweden and Finland. One of the things I learned was that this castle used to be on an island and was connected to the mainland later, which I found quite cool. For some reason I was particularly fascinated by all the windows that you could see from the inner courtyard! The little park around the castle is a lovely and peaceful space to walk through. I also have to mention the museum shop, which has a lot of interesting items.

Turku Castle is an absolutely fascinating place to explore! The architecture, exhibits, and well-preserved rooms really bring Finnish history to life. Walking through the halls feels like stepping back in timem. It’s definitely one of the highlights of Turku and worth spending a couple of hours discovering all its corners. One small tip for future visitors: I couldn’t easily find a public WC or urinals during my visit, even the paid ones. Overall, a wonderful and memorable visit — highly recommended for anyone interested in history, castles, or just enjoying a unique cultural landmark in Finland

A historical place that was the central location of Finland for hundreds of years when Finland was a part of Swedish kingdom. As a castle it's not that spectacular compared to castles in other parts of Europe, but for understanding Finnish medieval and renessaince history, it's an important place to visit. It has burned down several times, last time during WWII, so pretty much all wooden parts are relatively new compared to the age of the castle.

An old castle with a museum inside. I visited on early hours before the museum actually opened, so didn't got a chance inside. Around the museum is nice green relaxing park with lot of benches and place for cycle parking. Peaceful place must visit

Worth a visit! Every corner of Turku Castle tells another story about its history. I visited on Turku Day (third Sunday of September), and in the courtyard there was medieval music playing, I’m not sure if that happens regularly, but it definitely made my visit feel like time travel. My husband and I explored the castle for about 2 hours and 30 minutes, which I think is enough time to see everything at a relaxed pace.

Amazing place. But if you wanna go there, be careful, because Google write that Monday is open,but it's closed.

Beautiful place to visit, the gift shop was very reasonably priced as well! Would love to visit again in the future; adult ticket price was about €16.50
