Winter Palace

Ekaterina Soloveva
This is a true pearl of Russian architecture and art. The majestic Baroque building impresses with its size and grandeur. Its interiors are striking in their luxury: spacious halls, exquisite ceilings and magnificent collections of works of art. To visit the Winter Palace means to become part of the historical and cultural heritage that has left a deep mark on the heart of everyone who comes here. Recommended for all lovers of history and art!

Savior on the Spilled Blood

The St. Petersburg Blood Cathedral is really beautiful. It is very convenient to buy electronic tickets. The murals in the church are too beautiful to describe. If you want to watch it quietly, you can also take pictures with your mobile phone without flashing lights.

Catherine Palace

A stunning masterpiece of gold, amber, and imperial luxury! The Amber Room left me breathless—like stepping into a jewel box. Crowds? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely! The gardens are pure fairy-tale magic. Go early, book ahead, and prepare to be dazzled! 😍✨

Peterhof Palace

Lisliska
Grandiose historical place. There are many beautiful fountains and a good view on a Gulf of Finland’s. Must see in St.Petersburg.

St. Isaac's Cathedral

St. Isaac's Cathedral The beauty of late Russian classical architecture It is still very visually stunning The entire dome is very luxurious. 8 It is hard to imagine how many tons of gold were used to achieve this effect?

Mariinsky Theatre

The Marinsky Theatre, which opened on October 2, 1860, was named after the queen of the time. The stage was the largest in the world at the time, and the audience was U-shaped around the stage in an Italian-style theater. Enjoyed a classic ballet here, Swan Lake, as if intoxicated.

Cruiser Aurora

陌染MM
The tour went to Russia, and this stop was St. Petersburg. We followed the tour group and stayed in the St. Petersburg Hotel. The entrance of this hotel was right in front of the back of the cruiser "Aurora". The cruiser "Aurora" is a light cruiser built in 1903. It is a cultural heritage of the Russian Federation and a symbol of the October Revolution of 1917. The Aurora was originally an armored cruiser of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Empire. This legendary cruiser has experienced three revolutions and four wars, and is famous for participating in the October Socialist Revolution in Russia. "Aurora" means "dawn" or "sunrise", and in ancient Roman mythology it refers to the goddess of dawn.

The State Russian Museum, Mikhailovsky Palace

Lavender and Sun
The first national museum of fine arts, it is also the museum with the richest collection of Russian art in the world. It is located at 4 Engineering Street in St. Petersburg and is one of the must-see attractions in St. Petersburg. Designed by architect Rossi and built for Tsar Paul I's Crown Prince Mikhail, the building itself is a masterpiece of Russian neoclassical architecture in the early 19th century.

Catherine Park

遇见美景,快乐欣赏
Located in Pushkin City, 25 km south of St. Petersburg, Russia, Yekaterina Garden is the back garden of Yekaterina Palace. It is beautifully laid out, colorful, tree-lined, lake water rippling, and strolling in the French garden is in an elegant and beautiful environment.

General Staff Building

An ancient building in St. Petersburg, located on the banks of the Neva River, opposite the Winter Palace, across the palace square, in a semi-circular arc, the middle is the famous Arc de Triomphe building, the east of this building is open to the audience as a museum, or a very good museum.
