Peter and Paul Fortress

It really does smell like the elderly uncleansed! And some guy tried to convert me.

State Hermitage Museum

The Hermitage Museum is more impressive than what i imagined after seeing the website. I want to go back and spend a day or two just enjoying what it has to offer. I have not seen a finer museum even in Europe. You will be impressed but please take your time to enjoy what you see.

Peterhof

I have been to 30 countries but never impressed so much as i have been by seeing the splendure of Peterhof. I want to go there again and take my own tour just taking my time to soak in all of what i saw in just a 3 hour visit. I am impressed. If you visit, you won't be disatisfied. Please take your time and enjoy what you see. There is something for every age to enjoy.

Church on the Spilled Blood

One of the most detailed churches I've ever seen.

Pushkinskaya-10 Art Centre

Has ANYONE actually been to one of the galleries? I went there twice- when the place was supposedly open, and found nothing but a labyrinth of dark lanes and locked doors. I suspect these folks are pretending to run a cultural centre to justify themselves. Seriously- what legitimate venue would make themselves so inaccessible?

Peter and Paul Fortress

i think this was a terrible place to go. when i got there it smelt very bad like an old guy who hasn't showered in 3 days

State Hermitage Museum

Went here with a school group from Scotland. Pupils were admitted FREE of charge. Some of them weren't sure they were interested in art but all of them enjoyed it in the end.

Peterhof

Peterhof Palace has to be seen to be believed. The fountains during summer are fantastic!

State Hermitage Museum

You could spend over 3 WEEKS here and still not see everything! In fact, some artefacts have even gone missing and the curators didn't even spot the fact after months - only realised when they did an inventory check. This place is truly spectacular!

Peter and Paul Fortress

Simply splendid. Don't come to St. Petersburg and miss the Peter and Paul Cathedral!

Pushkinskaya-10 Art Centre

P-10 is the centre of artistic activity in St. Petersburg. Check it out. I love Fish Fabrique too - it's so cool. Can't wait to come back to St. petersburg:)))))))))

Church on the Spilled Blood

Wow! This must be the most beautiful cathedral in the world. I took about a million photos! You simply can't not see this place if your coming to Saint Petersburg!

State Hermitage Museum

Every bit as impressive as I had hoped. There's some brilliant artefacts here, such as the Tsar's carriage, and their collection of paintings was much bigger than i had expected. I spent over three hrs here and didn't see everything
