St- Petersburg Cathedrals Tour

St- Petersburg Cathedrals Tour

The tour begins at your hotel, from where you will go together with your guide to the first point- largest cathedral in Russia, St. Isaac's Cathedral. Walk around, go inside, and climb to its colonnade to watch the historical part of the city from above.

Next - The Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan. It looks very familiar; in fact It was modelled by architect Andrey Voronikhin after the St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Michail Kutuzov, the commander-in-chief of Russian troops in war against Napoleon, is buried here. Final stop is the Church of Saviour on the Spilled Blood. It looks like a fairy-tale both outside and inside, although its history follows its name. Nothing could be compared with the fabulous mosaics of this cathedral, which covers 7500 sq.m inside.
