Several days ago we wrote about your Moscow trip during the days of Confederacy cup. In Saint Petersburg you’ll see beautiful Winter Palace, being tsars’ residence for more than 200 years, founded in 1711 and was rebuilded and expanded 5 times. During the Saint Petersburg sightseeing tour you will go down the Nevsky Prospect, the main street, visit Kazan Cathedral, dedicated to Our Lady of Kazan – the most venerable icon in Russia. You will attend St. Isaac Cathedral, built in honor to Saint Isaac of Dalmatia - a patron saint of Russian emperor Peter the Great, founder of Saint Petersburg and climb up to its viewing point. Finally you will visit Peter and Paul fortress, where Russian emperors are buried.
