museums, galleries and it is difficult to see them all all in just a few days. There are 2 places that you absolutely must see : Peter and Paul Fortress and St Isaak's Cathedral.  Tour duration: 4 hours.

Peter and Paul Fortress
Peter and Paul Fortress has served many roles except for the
one that it was designed for - to defend the city from naval attacks. It was a political prison for the dissidents of the tsarist regime. During the soviet era it was transformed into a museum and after the collapse of the USSR, it became the tomb of the Russian emperors.

St Isaac's Cathedral
St Isaac's Cathedral is one of the most impressive cathedrals in Europe. Its gigantic golden cupolas,  an excellent observation deck that overlooks the entire city, rich inside decorations and artifacts make this cathedral one of the most popular tourist sights in St Petersburg.

The Hermitage
St Petersburg has dozens of beautiful palaces, but the Winter Palace stands above them all. First of all, it is one of the best collections of art in the world. Secondly, this collection is located in the very building where Russian emperors lived. It is here that they rose to power and its if from these walls that they ruled 1/5 of the world's territories. It was also here that the Bolsheviks overthrew their reign. The Bolsheviks were tempted to destroy the palace, the symbol of tsars, but its artistic value was so immense that they transformed it into the museum.

They say, that if you were to spend three minutes by each of the exhibits in the Hermitage, it would take you three years to see them all! But don't worry, you will have an experienced private guide who will show you the best of the Hermitage in 4 hours.

Day 3: Catherine's Palace
