    In April/May 1895 Mr. Popov invented the radio here in Kronstadt. There is this little wooden house which a plaque outside. Unfortunately, after taking this pic the batteries of my camera went flat due to the cold weather. So don't leave without any spares!

    This is the main landmark in town. Unfortunately, it's in very bad shape and needs restauration urgently. In 2005 you couldn't actually see the main hall inside. There is access to an exhibition in the side of the building (entry fee) which we didn't go to see.

    Of course a war memorial cannot be missing along with all the names of the guys that dyed. It's also located on the square in front of the cathedral.

    This is what most tourists come for. They want to see the war ships. Well, there are some - in my opinion - old ones which can be seen. Clearly, they don't you to see the latest models.
