Easy stop off green line of subway. One of the few highly rated sites without many tour groups. Beautiful space in which to pray. We had a priest chanting prayers throughout our visit which added aural beauty as well. God is good.

9. Palace Square

4.5 based on 5,442 reviews
Contrasting architectures and wide open spaces are the hallmarks of this extraordinary plaza, which has witnessed historic events like Bloody Sunday and the storming of the Winter Palace and is now the rallying place for every imaginable political demonstration.

Huge square with lots to see and it could be overwhelming. The summer palace is there, horses with carriages that you can take a ride in, people with period costumes trying to take pictures with you for a price, statues, and so much more. Actually, the October Revolution and Bloody Sunday took place here. We walked over 19,000 steps that day. Long day but worth it.

Whether you traverse these waterways by day or by night... the magic of it all never fails to put you in a trance! In the Neva River it’s the sights on embankments that thrill you... Peter and Paul cathedral, Hermitage museum, St Isaacs dome, the amazing bridges! When you detour via smaller rivers like the Fontanka, the focus shifts to the various bridges.. the Lion bridge, The Egyptian bridge etc! All in all it’s just magical! At night, witness the raising of drawbridges... an amazing sight!
