The oldest and one of the tallest buildings in St. Petersburg is popular for the spectacular view provided by the thin, gilded needle-like spire rising from its bell tower. The graves of nearly all Romanov rulers since Peter the Great are here.
We visited the cathedral as part of a cruise ship tour and were very impressed. There was a lengthy queue when we entered but when we left we realised how lucky we’d been as the queue was twice as long. Externally the cathedral is impressive with its tiered aspect tower and gold tipped spire. Internally it is a very busy place with many people viewing the numerous sarcophagus holding imperial family remains. Definitely a place to visit in St Petersburg.
