Palace Square is a central square in St. Petersburg, known for its historical significance and architectural beauty. It features the iconic Alexander Column commemorating victory over Napoleon's armies. The area is surrounded by notable landmarks such as the Winter Palace (The Hermitage) and the Imperial Army General Staff building, making it a hub for art museums and chic cafes.
Just impressive, especially with sunset lighting. When there in June that happens well after 10 pm...

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.

Met so many amazing lovely russian friends and family here with joy of smile and best hospitality in Russia . 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

Museums
Historical landmark
The State Hermitage Museum, founded by Catherine the Great in 1754, is one of the world's oldest and largest museums. It houses an extensive collection of art, culture, and antiquities. The museum recently expanded with a contemporary art wing in the General Staff Building, showcasing 21st-century artworks by renowned artists. The Kazan Cathedral nearby features a unique architectural design and historical significance related to Russian military figures and events from the early 19th century.
For me, the building was the most impressive part of the museum. When you think you saw the top showpiece hall, there are twenty more to follow.
Then the collection is of course substantial as well. It consists mainly of 18th century works, and works that were famous at that time, and early 19th century works. There is hardly anything (if anything at all?) from past 1850. The collection therefore documents wonderfully the artistic taste of the Enlightenment and Empire epochs.
Many information texts are in Russian and English, but many also are in Russian only, especially the more recent additions.
For tourists without a bank card, the only way to buy tickets is at the cash desk inside, and that takes about an hour and 15 minutes.

This is one of the most stunning Museums I have ever seen, it is extremely bigger than any other museums I have visited in many countries around the world.
The whole belongings of Catherine the Great are exhibited here and you need more than half a day if you really want to see all and everything.
It is without doubt the most beautiful and rich of art museum in the world.
Expect waiting time of half and hour during week days and up to one hour waiting time during weekends, however it is worth waiting for.
It is highly recommended to visit 👌
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!
Generally ı liked. A lot interesting artifacts. You should spendıng 3-4 days :)) tıcket price ı thınk good. Usually crpwded so you will wait 30-40 min If you like cultural artıfacts you must too see
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.

Kunstkamera, established by Peter the Great in the early 1700s, is among Russia's oldest museums. Initially a private collection of rarities, it later opened to the public for educational purposes. The museum showcases a wide array of human oddities, anatomical curiosities, archaeological collections from Russia and around the world. Over time, it has amassed exhibits from Russian travelers, navigators and scientists.
Very nice museum with everything you need in English.
Fifofuko — Google review
One of the most interesting museums with unique collections in the world! Located in a super old but well-kept building. We were impressed by the Eskimo exhibition created from the things brought from Russian expeditions, you don’t see that in classic history museums, and, of course, the collection of human embryons was breathtaking and spooky at the same time, our stomachs turned up in the beginning but then we were curiously examining just like other visitors.
"Come, look, appraise and believe your own eyes only" is the motto of this museum. A fascinating collection of cultural, religious, hunting, social and dress from regions around the world. Its was like a world tour from the Eskimos, past the Indian tribes of north America into Africa and across Indochina and southeast Asia. There is also the exhibition of "oddities" and other unusual, deformed embryos and animals. The museum is very educational but even if taken slowly, it's an information overload.
It was great! I think it's probably one of the best museums in St Petersburg. Lots of interesting cultural exhibits, including the curiosities section which has babies in preserve to explain certain scientific processes. Almost everything has an English text equivalent. Well worth the money.
Highly recommended. Not a lot of museums with deformed fetuses but this one does. Buy tickets online otherwise you will be in a long queue.
It was travelling in history and knowing their struggles and at the same time how different people adapted to different environments and also got to know about many different countries tradition. It was very informative
It's the most impressive museum in my life. There are many exhibits.
You can go there to take Uber or taxi.
Very interesting exposition, especially the anatomical theater. But the building itself is in poor condition. To get to the observatory you need to pre-register. All signatures are duplicated in English.

Attraction
Russian Orthodox church
St. Isaac's Cathedral, completed in 1818, is a significant Russian Orthodox church and museum located in Saint Petersburg. It boasts a striking gold-plated dome that can be seen from various points within the city center. The cathedral has a rich history reflected in its museum exhibition, showcasing different architectural designs and detailing the costly construction process. With an opulent interior featuring mosaics, frescoes by renowned artists, and colossal granite columns, it stands as a magnificent monument of classicism.
It's absolutely stunning and gorgeous. The building from the ouside and inside is just fabulous. One of the masterpieces of the city. Make sure to buy both tickets, to get inside, and to get upstairs on the observation deck where you can see the city all around. Inside it is so beautiful. There are guides in the cathedral that start a tour every half an hour, maybe, try to stick to one of their groups and listen to the details, a lot of historical information.
Tigran G — Google review
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.
One of the best if not the best church in town. Its harmonic and balanced architecture bestows to this landmark poise, gravitas and excellence, making It highly recongnisable from distance and awe-inspiring. Both the interior and the exterior lives up to the expectations and the possibility to climb up ti the higher balaustrade go enjoy a unique view of the Square and the park, only add plusses ti this magnificent building.

The Winter Palace, a grand waterfront residence in St. Petersburg, was the favored home of Russian emperors for two centuries. It is often compared to Buckingham Palace and is now part of the renowned Hermitage Museum. Visitors are drawn to its extravagant state rooms, including the opulent Malachite Room and the Main Staircase with its stunning frescoes and marble details. The palace's history dates back to Peter the Great and underwent multiple redesigns by different architects over time.
A stunning retreat right next to the Hermitage. The beautifully landscaped gardens, with their elegant fountains and vibrant flowers, provide a perfect backdrop for a leisurely stroll. It's a great spot to relax after exploring the museum. Don't miss the chance to capture some beautiful photos here!

Beautiful palace. Inside there is a huge museum but I never had time to go inside. Must visit place.
One of the most beautiful places I have visited in Saint Petersburg. You have to see this place, it is an exceptional kind of art. Great building with a lot of small artistic elements and details. 🩵 With love from Serbia 🇷🇸🇷🇺
Wonderful former residence of royalty. It takes a whole day to completely explore the whole palace with its rich history and art. Thanks to Russian people and govt for preserving such beautiful heritage 👍💕🙏🇷🇺🇷🇺
The palace has beautiful red carpet and holds meaningful state room paintings. I appreciate my beneficial learning time. They beautifully well keep.
🖼️ ✨ 🎨
An absolutely stunning Palace from the moment you walk in to the all the rooms you explore . This is something else the gold and share beauty of each room blows you away and leaves you speechless.
What a grand place it was for the royals to be in and a magnificent opportunity for me to be able to visit and enjoy this glamorous Palace.
We had a tour at 10am and was able to explore the whole Palace in 2 hours which was thought was enough time . With photos and videos of each room if necessary, I really enjoyed how there was so much group here but everyone was organised. They waited in a line behind you until you moved to the next room then they enter the room you left behind very well organised no chaos.
And the gardens was very pretty with all the flowers and great views for taking photos at the top .
We had a man playing a flute in the gardens which was a treat to experience as we was coming to the end of the gardens.
A video was created of this music and the golden building at the top it was a wonderful moment shared .
A final thought to say we was very excited to be able to get photos in all the rooms before My partner said it was not possible in the Amber room. This was My wish could true to visit the Amber room it was something out of this world I ask how much it was worth and and speechless.
Also the pure gold in all the room I have never witnessed a english or somewhere else in Europe like this .I found this magnificent and should a privilege to experience this type of Palace full of gold rooms.
Amazing museum, highly recommended. Tickets are on doors. Keep in mind they close at 6pm so be there 3 hours prior to enjoy your time there
Most of the rooms in the palace exhibit artworks depicting a lifestyle rarely associated with the Romanovs. Personally, I didn't find it enjoyable because of the many paintings featuring nudity. I highly recommend visiting the Winter Palace instead, where you can explore preserved rooms that offer a richer historical perspective. Additionally, it's advisable not to bring children to this palace.

Kazan Cathedral, designed by Russian architect Hronihin, is an elegant church that began its construction in 1801 and was completed in 1811. The cathedral features a cross-shaped floor plan with a cylinder-shaped penthouse above the middle and a grand dome on the top floor. The semicircular colonnade boasts 94 columns facing the main street and encircling the square, where monuments of Russian commanders Kutuzov and Barclay de Tolly stand.
This is a must visit place in Saint Petersburg! Extremely beautiful architecture, very clean inside. This is one of the few sightseeing places that you can visit for free, no ticket required!!! On the other hand, this is a functional orthodox church. Hence, all women are required to wear a scarf or a cap over their head. Inside everything is as beautiful as from outside. Good place for taking a lot of pictures.

An enormous Cathedral that is going to leave you with so many positive emotions. The building breathes love and peace. If you have a chance to visit this place, do not waste it.
Can give a 6-star review if I could.
This divine place, yes, divine for believers or not, Kazan Cathedral was one of the best choice to visit in St Petersburg.
A mini Vatican as dubbed, our jaws were dropped all the way from it's gallery outdoors, then throughout the whole visit.
Think this description has already got the interest for most people.
Different to the other cathedrals in St Petersburg, Kazan has her own characters that is difficult to describe. The gallery of huge columns, the marble facets, granite floors of the size of a large public square, all gave mind-blowing visuals to any visitor stepped inside. The exhibits are well planned and placed that numerous docents could lead their tourists groups without interfering too much to other visitors like us.
The besiege of the city during WWII was another key story we could learn more from. The endurance and hardship human can display is remarkable and incredible.
Anyone loving art and culture will find this place fascinating and we just could not get enough of it. Even there were over a hundred of visitors inside the main chamber, we could still be awed and feel the solemnity of the church. It's like magic indeed.
One will not regret going, trust your instinct.
Such a beautiful, grand process.
A truly stunning church Kazan Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan, on Nevsky Prospekt. The church was built between 1801 and 1811 under the direction of architect Andrey Voronikhin and its design was inspired by St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, featuring a large colonnade and a large central dome. The interior of the church is decorated with beautiful mosaics and icons, making it a must-see cultural and religious site.
The photos don't really do the church's exterior justice, they only capture a portion of it, you have to come and see it for yourself.
While it seems it gets less attention than other churches in town, this gem located in the Nevsky prospect is a must see.

Mamalyga is a cozy restaurant located near the Kazan Cathedral, offering a relaxed atmosphere and delicious Georgian cuisine. Part of the Ginza Project chain, each location has its own unique decor and menu. Visitors can expect homemade dishes and antiques adding to the ambiance. While some found certain items on the menu to be overpriced, many enjoyed the overall experience, praising the friendly staff, fresh and tasty food, reasonable prices, and pleasant atmosphere.
Incredible place - food, service, atmosphere. Everything was amazing. The food was incredibly tasty. We felt so full afterwards as we had ordered a lot wanting to try everything. :) Would definitely come back. Didn’t get to try any teas but the menu seemed amazing.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly service with adequate English. Great variety of Russian and Georgian cuisine. Food is affordable, drinks are expensive.
We had a nice dinner. The waiter spoke a fine English (not really common around). The menu is wide and all the dishes have a picture so it’s easy to understand what to expect. We really enjoy the food as well as the atmosphere
Food was delicious and service was great! The menu has pictures and I feel I need to come back to try something else since everything looked so delicious. Lots of options for all tastes.
Great ambience, I felt very well and it was hard to leave 😄
Staff superior, both competent and friendly
Last but not least: great dishes, large menu with plenty offers, hard to decide...
Visited 1st October 2019!
We loved it 💓
Beautiful view from the windows for the Kazan Cathedral. Cozy and friendly atmosphere. Large selection of dishes. Delicious dessert. Prices are not the most democratic, but normal for such a good location. Nice place for to come back.
Place is easily reach by any means of transport. We stayed in prospect 5 and walk there for about 20 mins.
They have staff who understand english and also menu in english, it spared us the hassle. Decoration is unique with a homey feeling.
Menu provides plenty of option, i think it is semi fine-dining because some of the visitor wear nice clothes as we only wear short and shirt. We order their cocktail specialty tea and it came with a nice appearance and tasted okay but a bit pricey. The steak is not as tender as we want but eatable. The dumpling come in a greasy soup, and we didnt like it since it felt sticky and oily in our tounge.
For 5 of us, it cost around 7000 rubel. Yes, it is an upper medium taste and a bit pricey but the service is worth it for us visitor who didnt understand the local languange.
great food! everything was delicious and fresh. good service. nice atmosphere. prices reasonable. will go there again!

Restaurant
Percorso, located in the Four Seasons Hotel, offers a luxurious dining experience with a focus on Italian cuisine. The restaurant's classic yet modern decor sets the stage for a romantic meal, with four distinct rooms including a well-stocked bar and private dining options. The menu features creative seafood, pasta, and meat dishes. While some diners praise the attentive service and delicious tomato sauce, others feel that the food doesn't quite live up to the elegant ambiance.
One has gotta give this restaurant the best service. The small little detail like when a guest brings a bouquet of flowers in her hands, the staff helps her put the flowers into the jar of water. Also with every serving, they always start with ladies then gentlemen last. Of course the taste of food with detail of delicacy from pasta to main dish like dried age rub-eye steaks to seabass are all prepared at your table. Gotta rate this restaurant with 5 stars.

Absolutely beautiful place, stylish, nicely decorated. Good wine cart, but food was so-so, honestly. I expect more from such place. The lamb was tender and juicy. Ravioli with crab and buratta - not very special. Salad with zucchini I didn’t like at all. It worth to come for the atmosphere, but not for the food.
The food here was the best we had in St Petersburg! They have a good variety of dishes without being overwhelming. The ambience and design of the restaurant is lovely. The staff all spoke English and even gave us special holders for our phones so we could watch the game on them at our table. All the staff was quite friendly but the hostess and host were super nice! The Italian dark beer was delicious and all the pastas were yummy! The fish and steak were excellent!!!
We were a large group and the restaurant was very accomodating. We had a set menu, however not every dish was served individually. Some of them were served on communal dishes and appeared messy.
Taste wise the dishes were alright and portions were very large. The beef steak was thick, large, however the done-ness was inconsistent amongst the guests. The deconstructed tiramisu was excellent. Service was good.

Best restaurant in Russia. The service is excellent, all the dishes starting from starters to dessert are very delicious. The restaurant is beautiful and very fancy. Our waiter, Alex is very helpful and fulfilled all our requests!
We really enjoy this place. The views of the Cathedral are beautiful. The food delicious and plenty to be a top restaurant. Pasta is home made and they have good quality raw material. Our waitress, a joung lady brown hair was delightful and helpful with good recommendations. It has a good value for money.
Best place for couples. We visit here to celebrate our last night in st.petersburg and everything was perfect. Nice, friendly people and they serve every meal perfectly. Especially i told them the tomato sauce was great and they bring me a cup of sauce sk that I can enjoy it with other dishes. When i made a reservation, I told them that day is our anniversary and we want to celebrate it. They served us a lovely cake and took photos :) Amazing night with good vibes help us to enjoy st.petersburg more!!
The best restaurant i have tried in Russia by far! The food is exquisite, the service top notch and the chef is wonderful.
The presentation and taste is one of the best! Definitely deserves to be a Michelin Starred chef. Below you can find the tiramisu presentation

Teplo is a cozy cafe-restaurant in St. Petersburg that offers a relaxed atmosphere and a diverse menu of Russian and international dishes, including pasta and pickled beetroot. The interior is adorned with books in various languages, adding to the inviting ambiance. Guests can enjoy sitting indoors or outdoors while savoring high-quality food at reasonable prices. The friendly staff, fluent in English, adds to the overall positive dining experience.
After viewing the St. Isaac's Cathedral we google searched to find restaurants nearby. Teplo gave a rating of 4.7 and a 5 mins walkable distance from the Cathedral. It feels like a quaint little place. The dining furniture and the chairs are different for every table. It may look like a small place when you enter. But it's quite large with a dessert counter and a small play area for the kids. We surely missed the entrance:)
We ordered the Bruschetta with mashed chickpea and avocado, Mushroom soup with sour cream, Fried codfish with stewed spinach. All were delicious and the presentation of the dishes were also good. Red Berry drink was yummy. Our 21 months old son also enjoyed it.
The staff was friendly and helped with choosing the dishes as per our preferences. There's a small courtyard outside the restaurant with toys and games for the kids to play. It's a great place to be. I would definitely recommnend it and will visit again.

Cozy homey café / restaurant that serve really great quality food in very reasonable price. For the main dishes, the salmon steak and codfish are fresh and pan-seared to perfection, and the stroganoff was spot on! The waiter and waitress are all speak fluent English and they are very nice. Truly one of the best restaurant I've went in my days spent in St. Petersburg. Worth every rubles. I would return again in Summer! : )
This was my favourite restaurant in St Petersburg. All the food I tried here was delicious, even surprisingly so. The interior is unusual but cosy. The waitresses and waiters are students from a nearby university, they are cute and funny. And they speak many languages, which is handy considering the number of foreigners who seem to frequent to this restaurant.
The food here is truly fantastic and extremely reasonably priced. A tad bit bland for my liking but otherwise the food is great!
A small and cosy restaurant located near St. Isaac cathedral. Small indoor seating with more seats outside. There's a playground area outside.
Recommended:
Pumpkin Soup, Beef Stroganoff with Buckwheat, and Spanish Hot Chocolate with Cointreau
I personally loved the food and the service at this restaurant. I had the pumpkin soup with some extraordinary toasted bread rolls with melted cheese on top (delicious!) and also the beef stroganoff which was excellent. The waiter who served us spoke very good English and was very helpful and polite. The atmosphere is warm and cosy and I will definitely visit again if I go back to St. Petersburg.
Amazing Restaurant close to St. Isaac’s Cathedral. Im summer you can sit outside and the have great tasty Russian food. Try the Bortsch and the Beef Strogranoff. Also delicious cakes and home made lemonades (black currant is the best).
You can chill there. They have games, table soccer, and a whole room for your kids to play. Super friendly staff and overall a great value for my money. Super recommended
Nice and cozy, attentive staff, they speak English and take their time to explain the menu, they are friendly and the food is good. A little pricey but nothing over the top. Good place if you want to have a relaxing time with friends or family. The stroganoff beef was very tasty.
We had dinner at this restaurant and we loved it! The food was amazingly delicious and the cozy atmosphere along with the decoration design made us feel at home. The staff were super friendly and polite as well as English-speaking. I particularly liked the herring with potatoes as the starter. If I were to try a similar food in Sydney, I should ’ve paid $150, but it cost us less than $50. I highly recommend it.

Italy на Большой Морской is a fantastic Italian restaurant and bar that offers a variety of delectable dishes including pasta, pizzas, and seafood. The ambiance is cozy and inviting with warm decorations. It's an ideal spot for those seeking a more relaxed dining experience rather than fine dining. Perfect for indulging in a satisfying meal after exploring the beautiful city of St Petersburg.
We stopped by for lunch at the Italian place and ordered pumpkin soup with shrimp and pasta.The pasta and the pumpkin soup was absolutely delicious. We loved the food and the hospitality of the staff.They mentioned that they had another branch in Moscow however we did not get a chance to try that but we love the location and the food of the hotel in St Petersburg. A special thanks to the staff so making us feel welcome and kudos to the chef for amazing food.

During our visit to St. Petersburg, my teammates and I came across this restaurant when we were very hungry. We didn’t go in with big expectations, but it turned out to be a positive experience in every way.
The staff were very kind and spoke English. Instead of each of us ordering a separate dish, we decided to share a sort of tasting menu: salad, pasta, pizza, and some starters… Every single dish was incredibly delicious. In the following days, we ate at other places, but we kept craving the flavors from this restaurant. If you can get a window seat, that will make the experience even better.
A special thanks to the lovely waitresses for their kindness and attentive service.
Best Italian food in SPB, lived here for 2 years and have never been disappointed. Authentic taste in gourmet style, good portion sizes, moderately expensive.
Delivery comes with very high quality utensils and sealed packaging every time to guarantee fresh and clean food.
Recommend: Pumpkin cream soup, pasta Bolognese, Pasta carbonara, Bread with cheese and baby tomatoes, truffle pasta.
Great food at decent prices, service is fast and agreeable by Russian standards. We went twice and had pizzas, pastas, salads, and desserts. All were good.
This is a must visit place if you are in St petersburg. Friendly staff and good food. Nice wines and ambience. This will be the place in my memories as this is where I proposed by gf.
Excellent foods and services. No pix, sorry. We have pepper steaks, roasted cauliflower, pumpkin soup, zucchini soup, skirt steaks, and coconut chia mango dessert. All the foods were exceptional. The coconut chia dessert is a must have. It was not on the menu, so you have to ask for it.
Very good place for Italian food . Stuff very good and smiling all the time . Must try
The food that me and my family ate (a calabrian pizza, carbonara pasta, four cheese pasta and ceasar salad) was very good.
However, we didn’t like the service. The pizza arrived a long time before the salad and one of the pastas, and the last plate came a really long time after the others. This made me and my family to eat our dinner in different times, what we didn’t like.
Also, we asked for a bread to eat with the pasta, and it arrived after we’ve already eaten the meal. We said that we didn’t want it anymore because it took too long and the waitress said we you still pay for it.
Unfortunatelly, the food is very good but the service disappointed us.

Off the beaten path
For day 2, if you don’t mind the extra trek, today covers more off the beaten path places like Grand Maket Russia. Not quite as popular as Peter and Paul Fortress, but still highly rated among many travelers. Accounting for getting around and average time spent, today’s activities could take about 8 hours.

Peterhof, also known as Paleizencomplex in Peterhof, is a seafront museum complex located in a former royal palace surrounded by parkland. It is renowned for its numerous fountains and is a top destination for various activities such as water sports, boat rides, kiteboarding, and exploring gardens. The palace itself offers an intriguing glimpse into the lives of ancient inhabitants through its royal rooms and exclusive chandeliers.
This amazing Park and Palace is an expression of Russian Imperial splendor. It was built by Peter the Great as his summer palace. The site is listed as UNESCO World Heritage. As you cross the parking area there is a good handicrafts market, which actually is very good and you must go through while returning from the garden. I visited in early spring, Lush gardens are mesmerizing, with extravagant palace buildings, beautiful golden statues and a cascade of fountains. Vibrant flowers were everywhere in proper layout. At 1 PM, there is some musical show at the backdrop of the palace in front of the golden statues with fireworks and some performance. I visited the place on Saturday; I am not sure the show is daily or only on weekends. We were not able to catch the show as we were not aware of it earlier. We were at the farther end of the park at that time and we reached at the spot when the show was coming to an end, however I witnessed some closing fireworks. This is a must go venue, don’t miss it while visiting St Petersburg.

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.

Amazing Miniature World – Best Place for Kids in St. Petersburg!
Grand Maket Russia is one of the most impressive and fun attractions we visited in St. Petersburg—especially for kids! It’s a huge, detailed miniature model of the entire country, showing cities, villages, trains, cars, and even people in everyday life scenes. The level of detail is incredible, and the moving parts, lights, and sound effects make it feel alive.
Children will love the interactive buttons that activate trains, cars, animals, and even volcanoes! The day-to-night lighting effect is magical and adds to the experience. You can easily spend 1–2 hours here exploring all the little scenes.
It’s also educational and entertaining for adults. The museum is clean, well-organized, and easy to reach by metro or taxi. There’s even a small park nearby for kids to play after the visit.
Highly recommended for families—a must-visit if you're traveling with children in St. Petersburg!
Grand Maket Russia is such an entertaining and fascinating attraction! The amount of detail is incredible,,, funny, cute, & spectacular little scenes are tucked into every corner, making it a delight to explore. As a family interested in all of Russia, we spent about 40 minutes to an hour walking around & could have easily stayed longer.
One of the most impressive parts was the display of military and naval bases, which was both educational & engaging. It’s a great place to watch, learn, & simply enjoy the artistry and storytelling of the miniature world.
A very important tip: arrive at least an hour before the closing time. The last ticket sales happen one hour before the museum closes.
Some online sources say Grand Maket stays open until 9 PM on Wednesdays and Fridays this is incorrect. When we visited on a Wednesday, we arrived at 6:55 PM expecting a later closing, only to find the ticket office already shutting down. Staff confirmed their hours are 10 AM to 8 PM daily.
Other than that, the experience was wonderful, the place is absolutely worth a visit if you’re in St. Petersburg.
I couldn’t get enough videos and photos. Some details in there are just amazing.
Started in 2008 and took about 5 years to build and still working on it , repairing and maintaining it to work for display is hard work.
With day and night features , every details of lighting and movements is fine work.
Highly recommend
You can spend 2-3 hours seeing the beautiful details of great Russia in mini details . You feel that ur living every moment ; from the nuclear plans to cargo shipping gas and oil mine with plus cities shows ships spa farms houses pig and horses bears chickens every details is taken into consideration! How much to say I can’t elaborate on how beautiful this place is . Entrance is very easy they gave us a family price coz we were a group of 5 adults and 4 kids paid for adults 570 and kids 530. And after you can have a meal in the the nice cafeteria which has good food . Thank you

This is a must visit site in st. petersberg.
Really nice model of Russia that we absolutely loved! Spend at least an hour here.
From the simulated sunrise and sunset to all the details that are captured (like the types of cars, trees, animals, etc.), this was a great place for us to get an idea of what we'd see on our trip across Russia.

It was built by Catherine the Great as a memory to the Peter.
It is really massive and shows Peter on the horse with the snake under the horse legs.
only worthy if you know about this monument.
An impressive sculpture, both in size, detail and symbolism of Peter the Great on a stallion rising up and the rear hoof trampling a huge snake ( Peter's enemies?). The lawns around the statue are great for relaxing on and watching the sunset. Only in summer of course!
One of must visit places in St. Petersburg. It has his charm during winter and during summer. Nice park around and other land mark nearby; Isaac cathedral also the embankment on Neva. The hermitage is five min away and big дворцовой площад

Very delicious food and very professional service. Highly recommended if you in the city.
We were starving to have our staple indian food while vacationing in Russia.
We walked all the way to Tandoor.
This place felt like home.
The smell of the indian kitchen made us hungrier.
This place is comparatively costlier but the food is worth the money spent.
The place is very clean and tidy.
The customer service is excellent.
The ambiance is amazing with food ole hindi songs.
We really miss this place already
The food is very delicious! Loved the samosa and the butter chicken. The service was slow, we got all food without getting the cutlery and the drinks arrived after we finished almost half of the dishes.

Best dinner we had in Saint Petersburg! The traditional appetizers were to die for and they have a vodka menu with over 200 types. Main dishes were delicious and fairly priced and the waiters were great to us too.
The vodka museum is quite interesting for a quick visit during your meal.

A lot of fun! We were treated tremendously and even offered free shots! Great experience.
This restaurant is awesome. This place was recommended by out tourguide to have the best Beef Stroganoff and she didnt fail us. The best beef Stroganoff.
Chicken kiev was super delicious as well. The dumpling maybe a bit bland but it was perfectly steamed.
Prices may be a bit high but the quality is exceptional.
You may need to get a reservation.
Btw, they gave us a complimentary bread basket which could have cost 300 rubles. Dessert was also complimentary. We were so lucky and did not regret what we paid for the food and experience.
Absolutely loved this place. Our group came here to the Vodka museum for a short tour and walk through of the history of Russian vodka which was very interesting. After that, we had vodka tasting with chasers. They let us try 3 types: original, berry and herb. All of which were fabulous and smooth. The berry and herb one had lingering tastes which was pleasant. Buying there is also not too pricy.
#localguides
The restaurant has a vast selection of vodka at a reasonable price. The menu is available in English. Our waiter's name was Andrew, and he was outstanding. We had spent about 4 hours with family and friends. During the whole time, he offered great recommendations. All the starters had been fantastic and the entree pork shoulder very tender. We were ordering desert probably some of the best desserts in town. Napoleon was very fresh.
Be ready for a whole menu of vodkas....and bunch of traditional good quality Russian food. The server was also super nice. Almost everyone spoke English
We also got free shots before taking off...:)
This is magic place!!! They made out of regular Russian dishes a real art. Every Russian here will have to admit it is even better than his grandmother used to do. At least I can definitely state so. The food is amazing, the waters are extremely nice. The place is a bit expensive but worth every penny!!!
Some of the best food I had in St. Petersburg! The borsch (my favorite soup) was beyond delicious. We also had a salad and a couple of mains. The restaurant itself is also big, bright, and beautiful. Would love to come back next time to try out the vodka tasting room next door.

There are a lot of vegetables, the main composition is cabbage or its subspecies. but in comparison with the same stalls and others who prepare shawarma.. This meat is added to taste. It’s not that it’s not tasty or not edible, it’s just an unusual taste. Well, I had no desire to eat the first, second and compote, although they cook it perfectly.

Очень много овощей, в основном составе ощущается капуста или еë подвид. но по сравнению с теми же ларьками и прочими кто готовит шаверму.. В это мясо добавлен по вкусу.Не то чтоб не вкусно или не съедобно, просто непривычный вкус. ну не было желания кушать первое,второе и компот хотя готовят отлично.

Naturally, I didn’t have time to evaluate all the dishes in such a short period of time, but I really liked what I took. Well prepared, homemade. However, as I understand it, a lot of people come at lunchtime and therefore you need to stand in line. But this is not a problem, people like it and that’s why they come. Definitely five!

Был здесь один раз, обедал и, знаете, понравилось. Очень недорогой ценник, в наличии обширное меню. Все блюда оценить за столь малый промежуток времени я, естественно, не успел, но, что брал очень понравилось. Приготовлено хорошо, по домашнему. Правда, как я понял, в обеденный перерыв много народу приходит и поэтому нужно постоять в очереди. Но это не проблема, людям нравиться и поэтому приходят. Однозначно - пять!
(Translated by Google) I accidentally stopped in for a bite to eat on the way and didn’t regret it. I really enjoyed the lunch. Variety of drinks... I tried my favorite of the dried fruits. I took the tartar sauce. Wonderful. As a bonus, I flavored the plate with mustard from the bottom of my heart. I noticed that many people take okroshka for the first time. I'll definitely try it next time. Thank you, girls, for a delicious lunch.

Случайно зашла по пути перекусить и не пожалела. Обед очень понравился. Разнообразие напитков... Я пробовала мой любимый из сухофруктов. Взяла соус тар тар. Замечательный. Бонусом от души сдобрила тарелку горчицей. Заметила, многие берут на первое окрошку. Обязательно попробую в следующий раз. Спасибо, девочки, за вкусный обед.
(Translated by Google) 5 stars because the dining room is great!
And in 2020 it has become rare, either expensive or inedible.
Really no pretensions to a restaurant, but almost home cooking.
Its main advantage is the speed of service, sometimes it only takes 15 minutes from washing your hands (there is also a toilet) to putting the tray down and running on, a wide selection of dishes and pies (I also liked them!) Every day there is a new and stomach-pleasing repertoire, soup, main course with a side dish and compote comes out cheaper than shawarma on plates at the metro. Although the place is a walk-through, there is somewhere to park a car, the traffic of people is good, but there are rarely queues.
So anyone can have a quick and inexpensive meal here. Anyone Deflop then to Ginza.

5 звёзд потому что отличная столовая!
А в 2020 это стало редкостью либо дорого либо несъедобно.
Реально без притензий на ресторан, но почти домашняя кухня.
Главный её плюс быстрота обслуживания, бывает хватает 15 минут от помыть руки ( есть и туалет) до поставил поднос и побежал дальше, широкий выбор блюд и пирожков ( тоже понравились!) Каждый день новый и приятный для желудка репертуар, суп, второе с гарниром и компот , выходит дешевле чем шаверма на тарелки у метро. Место хоть и проходное но есть где встать на машине , трафик людей хороший но очереди бывают редко.
Так что кому быстро и бюджетно перекусить можно сюда. Кому Дефлопе то в Гинзу.
(Translated by Google) Tasty! With imaginative dishes. Everything is juicy, the cakes are soft. And the chicken soup with spinach is beyond praise. Polite sellers, nice to communicate! Parrots chirp while you eat - relax!
But I would advise them to buy better coffee :) Overall, a friendly place! 👍
(Original)
Вкусно! С фантазией блюда. Всё сочное, торты мягкие. А суп куриный со шпинатом выше всяких похвал. Вежливые продавцы, приятно общаться! Щебечут попугайчики, пока ешь- расслабляешься!
А вот кофе я бы им посоветовала купить получше:) В целом душевное место! 👍

Day 3
West side of town
For day 3, we recommend exploring the west side side of town. Start the day off with Galeria Shopping Mall, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to Mariinsky Theatre. All together, your day would be filled with about 7 hours of non-stop fun.

Biggest mall of spb,

Food court on the top with variety of dishes
Toilet not each floor and need more attention
Praveen S — Google review
It is a modern, elegant mall that benefits from a lot of natural light, which is truly great. There are many shops for all tastes with truly beautiful clothing.
It's a 4 star review as it is not easy to find the toilet (WC) and the the food court floor was way too hot.
A larger WC sign would be helpful and a fresher air would enhance the eating experience.
There was a short line at the toilet and, at least the one I used, was not clean: pee around the toilet seat and paper on the floor.
It is not the mall's fault, so this is a message to all shoppers: Don't pee on the seat or on the floor and put the paper in the trash can.
The facade is truly beautiful, adorned with statues.
The Moscow train station is next to the mall.
A big shopping mall in St Petersburg, Russia. All brand shops are available in this shopping mall. Very good food court is a must visit area. There were live performances going in few areas at the mall, these were quite entertaining. It was a good shopping experience.
Modern, Stylish, and Family-Friendly – A Great Shopping Experience!
Galleria Mall is one of the best shopping destinations in St. Petersburg. It’s a huge, modern mall with over 300 stores including international brands like Zara, H&M, and Michael Kors. The layout is spacious and easy to navigate, and there’s something for everyone—from fashion and electronics to beauty and gifts.
What makes it even better is the variety of restaurants and cafes, including halal-friendly options, and a cinema with IMAX and 3D screens. It’s also very family-friendly, with a butterfly park for kids and clean, well-maintained facilities.
Located near Ploshchad Vosstaniya metro station, it’s super convenient to reach. It can get crowded, especially on weekends, but the atmosphere is lively and safe.
Highly recommended for shopping, dining, or just relaxing indoors—especially if you're traveling with family or need a break from sightseeing.
It’s a huge shopping mall at st Petersburg Russia. Most of the outlets here are ladies collection from cosmetics, fragrance, foot wear, fancy bags, clothing. It’s more of a high end mall and on the expensive side. Very few outlets for men. There are branded as well as local outlets here. Located on a busy street of st Petersburg. See lot of crowd in the shopping mall. Can see few outlets inside the mall premises with dolls and souvenirs.
The mall, situated at the heart of the city at the junction of Nevsky and Ligovsky Avenues, features an Empire style building that is a landmark in itself. Its central location near three metro stations and the Moskovsky railway station ensures easy accessibility.
With over 300 stores of renowned global brands spread across five floors, as well as a variety of culinary delights at the spacious Eat Market, showcasing over 40 cuisines from around the world. Take in panoramic views of the city at the restaurants with terraces or opt for the various cafes available on each floor.
On the 4th floor, the "Cinema Formula kino" takes entertainment to new heights with 10 movie halls, including IMAX and a VIP hall. The cinema presents films in their original language with Russian subtitles, follows the TheatreHD format, and even hosts sports broadcasts.
Galeria stands as a multifaceted hub, seamlessly combining cuisine and entertainment, making it an excellent choice for a day out in St. Petersburg.
Cool mall, located right in the heart of the city. Has an amazing observation deck too, which is inside a restaurant.
This shopping mall is just beside beside a railway station. It’s very high class and clean surrounding. The shop is here is having discount and the food court is at 4th floor all the way to the behind.
The shop some are not in Moscow.
There are also a playground for kids at the highest floor and the playground is quite big and contains a lot of machine for entertainment.
The overall experience I will give 5 stars.

It was the most well-kept park I've ever seen. The trees were very well-pruned. Even the grass was very well-kept and looked very nice. If I were someone living in St. Petersburg, I would go to this park whenever I had free time.
Really beautiful and busy place at any time of the year.Awesome statues and landscape one of most romantic places I have seen in city where is free entrance.Very good place to take wonderful pictures or for these who into drawing,draw something nice.It's very close to busy street but until you into garden,feeling like you somewhere far away from dusty,busy city.Really enjoy my time there and wish could visit it at summer and winter as well. p.s. no souvenir sellers makes it even special.
Centrally located so easy to work into your tourist walk around.
Lots of great sculptures, although not the originals. Fountains, etc.
In the southern part of the park there is a small lake with swans.
The restored park looks great, but in a way I preferred the more old rugged look it had before. Still, come and see and relax in the shade.
Gardens are beautiful. A sense of peacefulness fills you as you stroll through the gardens.
The tea garden is lovely. A little pricey but good.
Well maintained. Free to the public, and totally out rates the botanical gardens.
Easy access from Metro or bus routes and tram.
Note they are closed on Tuesdays.
Прекрасный парк в самом центре.
The legendary garden in thr city center.
Two swans live in the lake, beautiful marble statues all around the garden, rose garden and marble fountains. Definitely work visiting!
Peter's summer garden is truly a beautiful place to hang out with friends or family. It has well maintained vegetation & garden areas, a pond at the front with ducks & swans, fountains & a couple of places for coffee & ice cream. It has a free entry. Not many options to eat inside.
One of the best gardens in the city. With amazing organizations and lovely status and fountains.
You come here to relax or to exercise and if you are a tourist then such attraction must be on the top of your list.

Historical place
Military Bases & Facilities
Cruiser Aurora is a historic museum ship that played a significant role in the Russo-Japanese War, the Russian Revolution of 1917, and World War II. This retired Russian naval ship has an armored deck and holds a rich history dating back to the early 1900s. It survived the Battle of Tsushima during the Russo-Japanese War and was involved in marking the beginning of the Russian Revolution with its cannon fire.
This ship is a floating museum that actively participated in many significant historical events throughout the 20th century, such as the Russo-Japanese War and the Bolshevik Revolution. It’s truly amazing to walk around its corridors. Public figures such as Yuri Gagarin, Fidel Castro, and even Xi Jinping have visited this place, and there are photos of them and many others. I just wish there were more information in English, but it is worth visiting regardless, especially during sunset when you can take beautiful photos on the deck.

Why is the ticket price for foreigners higher than for Russians? 1000 rubles for a 10-minute tour with minimal English is quite a lot. That's why we bought a ticket for just one person for 1000 rubles instead of two for 1200 rubles. In Europe we have the same prices for everyone.
After waiting in line for approximately 47 minutes from 2:30 PM, we finally entered the Aurora around 3:30. The ticket price for foreigners was 1,000 rubles, while Russian residents paid 600 rubles. There are also special rates for groups, people with disabilities, and retirees. (It takes around 30 mns to roam around the ship but if you’re interested it would take double the time).
The ship itself is beautifully preserved. it’s clear that great care is taken with its upkeep, from the fresh paint to its cleanliness. Stepping aboard felt like traveling back in time, offering a fascinating glimpse into what naval ships of the past were like. As someone who loves history & vintage treasures, I truly appreciated this opportunity and am thankful to Russia for preserving such an iconic piece.
At last, The only unfortunate thing is that there was nothing explained in English, so I had to take photos in order to translate, to understand the information.
Exploring the interior was both educational and captivating. Visitors can see how naval soldiers once lived, including the spaces they worked in and even the utensils they ate with. It’s an experience I’m glad to have had, & I’m happy to share some photos from my visit.
Great for a short outing and taking in some naval history while you are at it... Central to some interesting cafes and restaurants in the area... Bought some interesting souvenirs in the area...
Enjoyed a guided tour to famous Cruiser Aurora. The ship was full of history giving a deep insight into the lives of sailors onboard and her operational importance for the nation
Good place to visit, especially if you are interested in military. Tickets are slightly on the pricer side given that there's not much to see. Great place nonetheless.
Minimal english in the museum. There is audio guide but nobody knows english so even buying audio guide can be challenging.
Memorial to the ship that started the Bolshevik revolution (allegedly) : the Aurora. Well preserved vessel, interactive and informative displays.

Orthodox church
The Savior on the Spilled Blood is a stunning 1880s church adorned with gleaming mosaics and marble, featuring colorful onion domes. Designed by Russian architect Hronihin, it boasts a cross-shaped floor plan with a cylinder-shaped penthouse and a correct dome. The semicircular colonnade consists of 94 columns facing the main street and encircling the square, where monuments of Russian commanders stand.
The interior of the Church of the Savior on the Spilled Blood is absolutely breathtaking. Stepping inside invites a moment of reflection — you can’t help but think about how much time and effort the artists must have put into creating such intricate details, blending colors, and forming the stunning, interwoven patterns.
The mosaics and decorations are awe-inspiring, and golden accents shimmer when touched by light, creating a truly mesmerizing effect.
Entry is quite affordable, though the place is often crowded. It’s highly recommended to read about the church beforehand to fully appreciate the variety of rare stones used in its construction.

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.
We were on a cruise thru the Baltic Sea and one of the main stops was St Petersburg. We had all day so we signed up for an all day tour thru the cruise line.
One stop was at this beautiful church dedicated to Jesus. We had prearranged tickets thru the cruise so no wait.
Just beautiful.
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!

Anichkov Bridge, a historic structure dating back to 1841 and reconstructed in 1908, is adorned with iconic horse tamer sculptures. Situated on Nevsky Prospect, it offers picturesque views of the Fontanka River and is surrounded by former imperial palaces. The bridge's iron railings feature intricate patterns of mermaids and seahorses.
My favourite bridge. Stunning. I could stare at the statues for hours. When the Fontanka froze I went and walked on the ice and it looks beautiful from the ice. Equally stunning on the pavement or by boat in warm weather. Highly recommend the trip up Nevsky to see it

Beautiful statues at the Anichkov Bridge, the oldest and most famous bridge across the Fontanka River in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Anichkov Bridge is a must-see in St. Petersburg. The stunning horse statues, historic atmosphere, and great views of the Fontanka River make it perfect for photos and walks. Especially beautiful at sunset.
Decorative bridge in the place where Fontanka river meets Nevsky Prospekt. The bridge itself is not that long, though, some tens of meters. But views at and around and statues also are definitely worth a visit. Especially during the light nights.
This is a famous bridge in St. Petersburg that crosses the Fontanka River along Nevsky Prospekt. It is a relatively short crossing that is decorative and features four landmark sculptures of horse tamers.
Constructed in 1841-42, the bridge features appealing iron railings. However, the highlight is seeing the four large horse tamer sculptures, which were installed at the two ends of the bridge between 1849-50. These are individually impressive works of art, particularly for those who enjoy viewing sculptures and statues.
Note: The Anichkov Bridge and its sculptures are particularly nice to see when viewed from the opposite bank to the pink coloured Beloselsky-Belozersky Palace. If you position yourself correctly, you can capture all in the same frame, allowing some decent pictures to be taken.
In the end, we liked the Anichkov bridge. This is a quick attraction to view and enjoy if you find yourself in this area of St. Petersburg during your visit to the city.
Nice place to hangout, busy and a beautiful street. Great river views to capture some amazing shots.
st petersburg at nite is architectural beauty in full display. the descent to the subway feels like going to center earth. do not plan to travel by subway after 11 pm, it is closed. cabs are cheap and plentiful, just close your eyes to avoid stress.
Beautiful bridge in the heart of the city. There are four sculptures on the corners of a bridge: "Taming a horse by a man” (sculptor Peter Klodt) are a symbols of a city one should definitely see.

The theatre boasts a renowned ballet company with impeccable discipline and tradition, along with world-class conductors and stars of ballet and opera.

I always thought I hated ballet, but after being here I realized I had only seen bad ballet. The performance was exceptional (the show was Spartacus) and the staff was friendly - we even got to chat with some of the ballerinas. This all for a reasonable price too, would highly recommend.
Watched the nutcracker in summer. One of the sole theaters to have summer presentations. It is, as expected, spectacular.
It was an amazing experience and best ballet i have ever been to . Russia didn't disappoint me at all. Thanks for being so welcoming to me I came all the way from Texas
Absolutely amazing experience! The performance was professional and touching! The theater is historical and beautiful, it felt like I was living in a 20 century and everyone was beautiful and elegant!
Ballet Bliss in St. Petersburg
The Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg is a treasure trove of artistic brilliance, and witnessing the Russian ballet here was an unforgettable experience. The performance of "Le Corsaire" by Adolphe Adam was a masterpiece, a seamless fusion of skill, grace, and storytelling.
The Mariinsky's regal ambiance and timeless architecture create an atmosphere of grandeur that befits the caliber of the performances it hosts. The attention to detail in every aspect of the production, from costumes to choreography, is a testament to the Mariinsky's dedication to the art form.
The dancers, true masters of their craft, brought Adolphe Adam's vision to life with impeccable precision and emotion. Every movement seemed to tell a story, leaving the audience utterly captivated.
Attending a ballet at the Mariinsky Theatre is a transcendent experience that lingers in the memory long after the final bow. It's a testament to the enduring power of art to transport and inspire, and a must for anyone seeking to be swept away by the magic of the stage.
The Mariinsky Theatre is an iconic venue with a beautiful Nutcracker performance. However, there are areas for improvement: the seats are quite uncomfortable regardless of your location, the intermission is overcrowded, making it difficult to enjoy refreshments, and the provided opera glasses are of poor quality. Despite these drawbacks, the experience is still memorable
Amazing theatre where you can enjoy one of the world's best orchestras and watch the most talented ballets. We've seen Shurale, the famous Tatar ballet, which we very much appreciated. The historic building itself is also brilliant and definitely worth to visit if you are in St. Petersburg.

Very nice. The staff is very friendly and attentive. We've here after 22:00, it wasn't very crowded. After 01:00 the place is empty.
The food was fine. A lot of Belgian cuisine, which is fun to try. Even if you don't drink beer there are some cocktails and wine. It's heaven for beer lovers.
OK Belgian pub. Typical pub food and beer. Service is funny and quick. Overall not a place for lunch - we had too little beer and too few people to enjoy the place.
Delicious food at a reasonable price and very creative dishes. The staff was friendly & good customer service. Definitely recommend!
The quality of the food was extremely disappointed. Had the fresh mussels but they weren’t fresh, no tasty at all and extremely small.
Food portions in general on the small side so not really good if you order thinking to share with others.
They have an extensive selection of beers though. It might be a good place for drinking, certainly not for food.
The best of branch. The food is excellent. If you want not only to enjoy Belgium bier, but also good food - this is a place to visit. Onion soup is especially recommended.
Belgian beer and good food at a reasonable price and very creative dishes. The staff was friendly. Recommend
Good selection off beers, if you like Belgian style beers. Food was good and friendly staff.

We enjoyed a delicious dinner. Very helpful and friendly service personnel. Thanks to all of them. Food was amazing. We ordered club steak, some beans and baked potatoes. Has a good wine and cocktail bar also.
Decoration could be better and it is a bit hot inside.
Besides, I highly recommend for a grill dinner.
Delicious meat, nice service , they do know English!
After meal apple pie must be eaten!!
Good restaurant very good service. Be careful when you’re comparing English menu with Russian menu. Even though it looks like the items lineup, the prices are actually different. The good news is the guys sorted out. They handled it. Great they fix the problem and I would highly recommend them.
Mr. Canada 🇨🇦
Amazing food, very polite staff and warm environment. We absolutely loved this place and we visited it twice during our stay in St. Petersburg. The brisket burger was the best one I've had so far. The meat was of great quality and properly cooked. Very highly recommended!
Super place.
Can recommend to everyone who loves meat. Texas Brisket is a must try!
Also great service, they advise you in a super friendly way.
One of the best steaks I've had in my life! It was a chuck eye roll medium rare, and I strongly recommend that you try it! 5 out of 5 for the food in general as well, the side dish and all the appetisers were great as well. The sitting arrangements kind of dampened our mood a little in the beginning; we were offered a table for 5 people despite booking a table for 6 in advance - so it was a bit crammed at our table. However, the food was still delicious and a great value for money, so I still recommend this place, if you do not mind not having a lot of space.
So I was super impressed by this place. As someone who frequently visits BBQ restaurants in Texas I can tell you this place really holds it’s own as a bbq joint. The brisket melted in my mouth and has great flavor. With the flavors from the smoke and what the meat was seasoned with I found myself not needing any sort of dipping sauce. The wait staff was super helpful in getting me in (I walked in off the street with no reservation and it was packed wall to wall). One of the waitresses took my cell number and texted me in WhatsApp when there was space at the bar for met to sit. The bartender spoke English impressively well and the owner even took the time to chat with me about his place, it’s history, and exactly how he came to open a smoke house in St. Petersburg. 100% recommend!!

Top Italian restaurant, we went twice during our visit because we loved the food so much. The service is so nice also. We tried different dishes and all is testy and delicious totally recommend
We stumbled onto Romeo's Italian Restaurant, as we were walking through St. Petersburg looking at the amazing Churches. The staff greeted us and were very accommodating to us and quickly sat us down. The food was very good quality Italian food. We shared several appetizers, and enjoyed a delicious pizza. It was nicely priced and efficient.
A very nice restaurant.
Good service and the manager is Italian, he is friendly and knows how to make clients feel welcome.
The menu is diverse and there are enough choices for any kind of diet.
I’m definitely coming back to this restaurant in the future.
Very good service, very clear and environment is very nice but... The schnitzel was not tasty and the diabolo chicken has no enough meat.. The autumn salad was very good!
Great food, though the portions could be somewhat bigger though. The waiters are friendly but watch out for some of them trying to play tricks with giving you a more expensive variant of drink as ordered.
Probably the best Italian in St Petersburg! Lovely and friendly staff, very delicious meals and desserts to get you going. The Mariinsky being close is not even the best feature :)
Great dishes, good prices, nice Italian owner. Really recommended!

Place was recommended by the cab driver, which they know tge town better than anyone ! WOW, food is amazing. I'm a foodie and was taken. The menu is big, and have almost too many choices to be good, but don't let that fool you ! A MUST on your list

You are met by a pleasant and calm atmosphere. Service was excellent and all the waiters spoke English. Variety of offerings ranging from Russian to Italian cuisine. Portions were generous and they were delicious. Prices are reasonable for what you get. Desserts are excellent too. Highly recommended and good value.
They have the best honey cake ever!
don’t hesitate to try it 😋♥️
Just revisited this restaurant with family and had a fabulous time. The wait staff were helpful and the food spectacular. They even provided some small, but delightful complimentary desserts at the end of the meal.
Very nice interior, great food (varying kitchen). The service is good, the menu is available in English and the service often too. There is a cloakroom and sometimes live music. I've been here two times and both times I left the restaurant very satisfied. There is vegatarian food available, but only as pasta or pizza.
Lovely place with cozy interior playing around with some Mediterranean Italian vibes.
Food is excellent, as well as lovely personal.
French like restaurant with russian dishes in modern style. Great also for children. Aurora cruiser over that canal. Recommended!
Delicious russian food, great service and ambience!
