The delightful St. Petersburg has so many pearls of the past that sometimes there is a desire for a short time to embrace everything at once. Traveling around the city, could not not include a visit to the Petropavlovsk Fortress. Having traveled to the metro station to Gorkkovskaya Station arrived at a holy island. After, through the park they fell to the Kronverk embankment. The entrance is free, but for visiting museums purchased tickets at the box office.
To the great thing we learned that the Petropavlovsk fortress never participated in hostilities. The building was the main political prison of Russia. Alexey Tsarevich was one of the first prisoners. Today, the construction performs the functions of the museum. City management conducts excursions and holidays. The place includes the Fort, the Cathedral, and the tomb of the royal family, as well as serves as a prison, the mint is located here. On the territory of generously scattered shopping shops, where we purchased a bunch of souvenirs for rhodation and comrades. At every step for coffee lovers, small trays. Prices are quite acceptable. Admiring the beauty, were unpleasantly shocked by ashafoth. Picture disgusting. Vddol admitted the Neva embankment with her amazing facades.
Look at the exhibition of sandy sculptures. What I want to say, the places beautiful a little brings sadness. Children are unlikely to like to wander around the places of fame. Adults, of course, have something to see. Prices are available on any wallet. Showing a household snapshots, told about the sights. Of course, they were impressed. They offered us to become a guide for them and the next year to carry out a tourist cruise in St. Petersburg. We naturally have a desire to familiarize yourself with the Petropavlovsk fortress in a short period of time, everything is not overcome in a short period of time.
