All it takes is a look outside the Winter Palace and you're hooked. What lovely buildings there are in St. Petersburg, and this one is enchanting. We were on a tour so saw the highlights of the museum. That's probably the best way to go, as the museum is large and can be overwhelming. Though the Hermitage is a famous art gallery, I was really there for the Winter Palace, with its gorgeous, luxurious interiors and history of Peter the Great and his family. It is truly beautiful. Be aware this place is packed with people. Arrive early in the day just before it opens.

This gold-domed, ornate, 19th-century cathedral is the third largest domed cathedral in the world, and offers visitors a 300-step climb to a spectacular view of the city.

To see the St.Isaac's cathedral for visitors of Saint-Petersburg, especially for foreigners, is a must to my opinion. Not only it gives impression of the architecture of the 19th century, it allows to trace the historical development of Russia over the years of the cathedral existence. The construction of such a huge edifice (the fourth cathedral in the honour of St. Isaac) is a miracle by itself since it is difficult even to imagine how such monolith columns and granite rocks could have been installed with the help of only simplest devices (like blocks, etc) which existed in the days of the cathedral construction. History of the cathedral bearing traces of the II World war on its walls and columns is a special page worth being acquainted with. Those who would like to learn more about Russian Orthodox church and see the clergy representatives in their luxurious clothes in a meter's distance could visit the cathedral during the service at 4:00 p.m. which is a special impressive event to watch. Finally the cathedral gives a unique chance to see the city from the birds flight height, from the colonnade. It is a fascinating magnificent view to admire and take photos. Since several years this has become possible for people in a wheel-chair too. I brought my friends from the USA for an excursion to the cathedral a year ago, and they are still under a vivid and unforgettable impression. So if one has enough time being in our city I would strongly recommend to come and explore the St.-Isaac's cathedral, either on his/her own, or within the tourist group.
