This was part of A Weekend in Russia - Day 1 🇷🇺 🔗.
We joined the 10:30 AM St. Petersburg Free Walking Tour. We started our walk at the Bronze Horseman and then headed towards St. Isaac’s Cathedral. Our guide shared the fascinating history of Russia, specifically focusing on the founding and evolution of St. Petersburg.
Our next stop was the Admiralty building, where we saw the Monument to Nikolay Przhevalsky and the Admiralty Fountain.
We then headed to Palace Square and crossed past the Winter Palace to reach the Palace Embankment. We arrived just in time to hear the daily noon cannon shot fired from the Peter and Paul Fortress across the Neva River.
From there, we walked to the Pevcheskiy Most and crossed over to see the Gosudarstvennaya Akademicheskaya Kapella.
Next was the famous Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood and the Mikhailovsky Garden located right beside it.
We then walked along the Griboyedov Canal to our final stop, the Kazan Cathedral.
