We went to the Peter and Paul Fortress with the children during a sightseeing tour. We liked it, the children were generally very pleased, because they saw her so close for the first time. You can walk for a long time inside, there are many different places to look at both inside and nearby. You can just take a walk, or you can go to the park of museums and thematic exhibitions for a fee. Nice place in the city center.

I thoroughly enjoyed visiting this fortress. Firstly, due to its location, from here you can see St. Petersburg across the Neva River from a different prism. Secondly, this fortress has many interesting museums and exhibitions. And thirdly, here is the atmosphere of ancient Russian culture, attitude towards the monarchy, etc. In particular, I was fascinated by the Peter and Paul Cathedral and the Grand Ducal Tomb. I really liked the choir of priests that happens after a certain time. The family visited the Trubetskoy Bastion prison, they were impressed. But it was frosty, so we didn’t have time to see everything. But we had lunch at the Koryushka restaurant with access to the Neva and excellent food. So this place is a must-visit for city visitors.

Historic site . Famously, the cathedral houses one of the three angels who guard Saint Petersburg. In Peter and Paul Fortress - golden. And we were lucky, we saw a salute, from the cannons of the Peter and Paul Fortress.

Oh, I'm so used to such huge tourist crowds. It is one thing to walk and consider charming houses, and quite another to go to places where there are crowds of tourists, and not always well-mannered. This year, St. Petersburg has become one of the most budget-friendly destinations for tourists from all over the country, so now it's so crowded, it's a nightmare. I noticed that noisy comrades from Asia were back again. Came more for company, but still had a great time. Plus we got to rehearsal for some military event, so it was a varied walk. For different museums and exhibitions you can buy separate tickets, or buy a single one for 1000 rubles.

Compulsory to visit in St. Petersburg. Paving stones. The wooden bas-relief above the gate, which is in gorgeous condition, is a miracle! And the cathedral itself, the spire going into a heavy grey or delicate blue sky, looks very light.
