Sholence:“It's not as shocking as I imagined, but as the number one attraction in St. Petersburg, I have to check it out. It's actually quite painful for people who don't know a little about Western art. I personally prefer the Ye Palace.”
SHARMIN K:“Take a boat ride just outside the church over at the bridge or just walk across and go shopping.This is a tourist district, so there's a lot of restaurants, souvenir shops, and tavernas. There's stalls selling Russian handicrafts whereby you can bargain! ...Highly recommend! The boat rides are only available in summer, as during winter, the temperature freezes over the river.”

SHARMIN K:“This is the most beautiful palace I've ever been to. The Czar family and Catherine the Great used to spend summers there. The most beautiful part of the palace is the Amber room, where the whole room is made out of Amber Stone.You can even buy Amber- made souvenirs like bracelets and key chains on the ground floor at the souvenir shops in the palace. Catherine Palace was destroyed in WW2 when it was bombed by the Germans. Today, it has been restored to its former glory. The Amber Room itself took over 24 years to restore! You will be given special socks to wear inside the palace so as not to damage the wooden floor of the palace.You can also request audio headphones in English in case you need translation as the guide only speaks Russian.”
