| Church on the Spilled Blood, where Alex II died |
Nevskii Prospekt The city's main thoroughfare is exciting for anyone who has a knowledge of Russian history, architecture and literature, but anyone with a sense of aesthetics will enjoy the walk. Just watch out for the bands of aggressive Gypsy children and sneaky Petersburg pickpockets! |
| This is the Eternal Flame. It's not flaming. |
It helps to have a sense of humor. It seems like everything in Russia is under reconstruction right now. In general that's a good thing, because the monuments and buildings you see will probably be beautiful and fresh. However, be prepared for some surprises. |
| The entrance to the Hermitage |
The Hermitage You can't go to St. Petersburg and not see the Hermitage, but bear in mind that the museum is far to big to see in one day. In general, the architecture is more interesting than the exhibits - walk around and take it in, but don't worry if you can't see it all. |

St Petersburg has always fascinated me & I'm glad I found your page. Your local customs & transportation tips are really helpful, but I enjoyed reading all your tips. What are you studying there? | morgane1692 Sun Nov 9, 2003 02:21 UTC
I do love your theatre tip regarding punks! ;-)) When I was here, we walked into the Mariinsky lobby to see what was on that night, and I nearly died when my St Pete local friend in her early 30's knew NOTHING of Baryshnikov!! How very sad, I thought... | Janni67 Sat Nov 8, 2003 20:30 UTC
