Walking around the centre, but not sure which way to go? Planning a trip a little further? Here we selected the palaces, churches, parks and other sights we think are the most interesting to visit.
Sitio histórico y protegido · Округ Кронверкское · 429 tips y reseñas
NeKiPiSHui: You can walk around the fortress or visit some of the many small museums there, such as the cosmonaut museum or the bastion prison. Surprisingly, there are actually people still living on the island.
Екатерининский парк (Садовая ул., 7), Пушкин, San Petersburgo
Palacio · 200 tips y reseñas
NeKiPiSHui: My favourite of the palace areas outside of the city. The palace is slightly less glittery than Peterhof, and the gardens are huge and beautiful.
пл. Растрелли, 1, лит. А, San Petersburgo, San Petersburgo
Iglesia · Округ Смольнинское · 103 tips y reseñas
NeKiPiSHui: Smolniy used to be a monastery, but now it houses many faculties of the State University. You can still visit the cathedral and go up to see a view accross the city.
Исаакиевская пл., 4, San Petersburgo, San Petersburgo
Iglesia · Адмиралтейский округ · 328 tips y reseñas
NeKiPiSHui: Both the insides of the cathedral and the dome are open for public. Especially in the evening you get a great view accross the city from the dome.
наб. р. Монастырки, 1, San Petersburgo, San Petersburgo
Monasterio · Округ Лиговка-Ямская · 68 tips y reseñas
NeKiPiSHui: The botanical garden is nice to walk around on a hot summer day. Next to it is a graveyard with many famous Russians from earlier centuries.
Казанская пл., 2 (Казанская ул.), San Petersburgo, San Petersburgo
Templo · Округ № 78 · 160 tips y reseñas
NeKiPiSHui: The cathedral is right in the centre and has free entrance, so there is no reason to skip a visit. You'll see some orthodox traditions, as people come here to light candles and pray to the icons.
NeKiPiSHui: The most famous park in St. Petersburg. You can walk through the park looking at the many statues along the way, or sit on one of the benches to read a book or to observe passers-by.
NeKiPiSHui: Military parades used to be held on this field, now more used for sunbathing and picnics. In the middle of the field, you find an eternal fire to respect fallen soldiers.
Mirador paisajístico · Округ № 7 · 185 tips y reseñas
NeKiPiSHui: The tip of Vasilievsky island is decorated with pretty floral arrangements and a great view towards Peter-Paul Fortress and the Neva embankment.
Дворцовая пл. (Невский просп.), San Petersburgo, San Petersburgo
Plaza · Исторический центр · 520 tips y reseñas
NeKiPiSHui: The Palace Square in front of the Hermitage is quite striking in its hugeness and with the clear round outline formed by the surrounding buildings.
Петровская наб., 6, San Petersburgo, San Petersburgo
Museo histórico · Округ Посадский · 38 tips y reseñas
NeKiPiSHui: This was the first house Peter the Great built when starting to build St. Petersburg: a cabin for himself. Quite modest from a tsar, and worth visiting.
Разводная ул., 2 (Санкт-Петербургский просп.), Петергоф, San Petersburgo
Sitio histórico y protegido · 444 tips y reseñas
NeKiPiSHui: Famous for its fountains, parks and the overly golden palace, the tsar's summer residence is best to visit at summer, when the fountains are working and you can walk around in the park.
Университетская наб., 15 (Кадетская линия), San Petersburgo, San Petersburgo
Palacio · Округ № 7 · 61 tips y reseñas
NeKiPiSHui: Probably the nicest palace in the centre of the city, at least in my opinion. This is not a huge, golden palace, but a collection of small rooms decorated in the styles of different cultures.
NeKiPiSHui: A green island outside of the centre, but still reachable by the metro. Good place for picnic, rollerskating, or ice-skating at winter. There is also a palace on the island that you can visit.
NeKiPiSHui: This monument is quite massive, with many statues. Inside, there is a museum - but check the opening hours before going! You can get there by metro.
Parque de atracciones · Округ Чкаловское · 688 tips y reseñas
NeKiPiSHui: This amusement park is a fun place to walk around in even if you don't want to risk a ride (the thing in the picture once fell....), because the entrance is free. At winter, come here to ice skate.
