What You'll Do
• Admire the marvelous exterior of St. Isaac's Cathedral
• Visit the Church of Our Savior on the Spilled Blood, the site where
Emperor Alexander II was assassinated
• Learn about Russian religion and the internal structure of the Russian
Church in Kazan Cathedral
On a 4-hour guided tour will introduce you to three of the most famous
Cathedrals of St. Petersburg. On your way you will see plenty of other
attractions including amazing panoramas, monuments, historical
buildings and the so called "St. Petersburg golden triangle". The first
Cathedral, St. Isaac Cathedral is a great work of the late period of classical
architecture. It is richly decorated with sculptures, high reliefs, oil
paintings and mosaics. You will be invited to climb the cathedral
colonnade and contemplate St. Petersburg from above with a bird's eye
view. The second place of interest is the Church of Our Savior of the
Spilled Blood, a rare example of a traditional Russian church. It is really
unique because it is decorated with 7000 square metres of mosaics.
Lastly you will get to see the main cathedral of the city, Kazan Cathedral
which is located in Nevsky Prospect. Whilst the first two cathedrals of the
tour have been turned into museums, it is still an active orthodox church.
