The Church if canonized St. Xenia is superb. The cemetery visitors and people with prayer that come here makes this a great place to visit.

Varyazhsky Dvor means Viking's Yard in Russian but it actually has another - and by far simpler a name - Svargas which is translated from Indo-European as Sunny Sky. This is a purely private project which is sixteen years old. Their life has been tough - constant fight with local red tape and corruption, volatile cash-flow and even a direct arson attack from hostile competitors. They were burnt virtually to ashes (!!!) and reconstructed the whole thing with their own hands! (One can still see charred walls on the second (English - first) floor. To understand what goes on there please read a review by the guy from Vermont. I'd only add that you can also try a smashing old-style lunch there - Vikings' cabbage or pea (no rubbish cream!) soup and home-made ham hock (Haxe, Eisbein) with potatoes. But - attention! - this service is oursourced so please get in touch with the complex in advance and bear in mind that if the guys are missing there'll be absolutely no opportunity to even have a snack there. So mind it in the course of your planning. But if they ARE there then first thing to do upon arrival should be approaching them and making an order. Then go to their smithy, throw axes, shoot a bow, try chainmail and other medieval haute couture stuff, etc. 'coz in an hour the meals will be ready and you won't have to wait. Their parking is rather modest and this should be taken into account as well. And toilets... Mind-blowing smell. Get ready for a simple obsolete outhouse. Very disappointing. Apart from this - magnificent and very interesting. Recommended!

The Winter Palace is an extensive building with a number of wings and inner courtyards/gardens. It is quite beautifully designed and the stairways and rooms are extraordinary. The Winter Palace is in Palace Square (the green building) and is currently the main building of The State Hermitage Museum, and houses statues, treasures and paintings, as well as thrones and chandeliers. Highly recommended to view from the outside, and worth a visit for the extensive Hermitage museum collection.

Beautiful park to visit already now, only ca 2km from the city center. Monrepos Park is being thoroughly restored but can already be visited (the small island bridge wasn't there, but many parts of the park could already be visited). The shores and the landscape is calming and you see many different types of visitors - joggers that pass quickly and families that take time to admire the flowers. The Neptun temple has been rebuilt 1999. The sun was shining and it was relaxing to walk around and wonder how people used to walk and visit the park 100 years ago. Next time I'll bring some picnic and enjoy an even longer stay.

Situated within the Peter and Paul Fortress, this Russian Orthodox cathedral really stands out with its gold spire. The rude screen is absolutely beautiful, but I don't think that I have ever seen a cathedral with as much gold on display. Having been told that this was the burial place of the Russian nobility, it was however, odd to see so many tombs within such a small cathedral, although hearing the history from our excellent tour guide, highlights this buildings amazing history. A lovely place to visit.
