St Petersburg Flights
The city was founded at the location of the Peter & Paul Fortress and, at the centre of the fortress, is the Peter & Paul Cathedral which houses the tombs of most of the tsars, all the way from Peter the Great (who founded the city) to Nicholas II (who was murdered by the Bolsheviks whose revolution started in the city).
The most famous building in the city is the Hermitage museum which is in fact a set of four linked buildings contained some sumptuous rooms and an amazing four million artefacts including great works of European art. the Cathedral of Our Saviour of the Spilled Blood, built over a 24 year period on the site of the assssination of Tsar Alexander II - located by a canal, it is is a mass of multi-coloured spires and onion domes.
St Petersburg and its environs has so many magnificent palaces that it's not hard to appreciate why there was a revolution.
The Yusopov Palace where Rasputin was murdered.
