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.

Historical theatrical scale model Petrovskaya Akvatoria - is the story of occurrence of the Northern capital and the creation of the Russian fleet in the interactive miniature. Spit of Vasilyevsky Island without Rostral Columns, Menshikov's homestead instead SPBGU, the first port of St. Petersburg, Masquerade in Peterhof, old fortress in Oranienbaum, which no longer exist,- all this was hard to imagine, but now you can see it with your own eyes! Here recreated ancient estates, parks, palaces, some of them we will never see ... The main feature of the scale model - a real water area, symbolizing the Neva's aquatory and the Gulf of Finland, models of ships of the Petrine era float on water. Reconstruction of the architectural ensembles and landscape is not the main point of the exhibit. It is only the decoration, in which unfolds a picture of life in the city in the time of the great Russian emperors from Peter the Ist till Catherine the IInd The originality of the exhibit is given by moving objects (figures of people, carriages, ships), light, sound and visual effects, which can reliably reproduce the change of the day and night, and also changing of the weather's conditions. Different scenarios of the theatrical actions is turned on according the timetable and also by pressing special buttons. It brings the additional interaction to the exhibit. The own developments and know-how were used to realize the scenarios.
