1. Grand Duke Vladimir Palace
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 34 reviews
Unique Grand Duke Vladimir Palace is known to be a part of the cultural heritage of Russia. Grand Duke Vladimir Palace in St. Petersburg retains a rich history connected with many famous names of Russian government officials. The first person is Grand Duke of Russia – Vladimir Alexandrovich. The building of the Palace is designed in the original and fashionable at that time style – eclectic.

The palace is not a museum and you will have to inquire when they have guided tours (you can only visit the palace with a guide). It has a big advantage because it is never crowded unlike in other famous museums in St.Petersburg. The interiors are very impressive even after so many years when the palace was last lived in. The stories about the owners of the palace and their descendants living now bring history to life. I definitely recommend to visit the place if you have a chance

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.

This 155-foot red granite column in Palace Square honors Russia's victory over France in the Napoleonic Wars, and is considered a remarkable engineering accomplishment.

Alexander Column is the biggest column in the world and it is located in the center of the Palace Square, in front of Hermitage, in St. Petersburg. Really this column is impressive and the full complex with the Palace Square and the Hermitage at background is incredible: one of the best photos in the city. A top in the city. (see also Hermitage and Palace Square)

A gallant and heroic Peter the Great atop a horse is depicted in this striking statue on Decembrist (Senate) Square commissioned by Catherine the Great to honor her predecessor.

An important monument in an historically important part of the city. Both Peter and his horse are poised for action. Design happens to allow for many excellent photo angles. Of course, free to enjoy.

8. Palace Square
Overall Ratings
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.
Reviewed By ukienomad - Fleming Island, United States
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.
9. Summer Palace of Peter the Great
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 320 reviews
The modest palace is set amid the lovely Summer Gardens, where Peter the Great held "assemblies" attended by aristocrats eager to maintain their social standing.
