This was part of A weekend in Russia - Day 1 ๐ท๐บ ๐.
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 told us about the history of Russia and specifically of St. Petersburg.
Our next stop was the Admiralty Building and we saw the Monument to Nikolay Przhevalsky and the Admiralty Fountain.
We then headed to Palace Square and crossed the Winter Palace to reach the Palace Embankment just in time to see the daily cannon shot from at Peter and Paul’s Fortress across the Neva River at noon.
From there we walked to the Pevcheskiy Most and across to see Gosudarstvennaya Akademicheskaya Kapella.
Next was the famous Savior on the Spilled Blood and Mikhailovsky Garden right beside it.
We then walked along the Griboyedov Canal to our last stop, Kazan Cathedral.
