    More than half of the streets Ulitsa Pravdy and Bolshaia Moskovskaia were transformed into an open air museum filled with modern statues, unusual benches, patches of green grass and interesting lamps.

    Just outside of the center, it is an interesting walk from Vladimirski prospekt down these two streets up to the Pionerskaia Ploshtshad.

  • St.Petersberg has been protected from the ravages of high-rises and intrusive modern development by tough planning laws and so retains the grandeur and style of Imperial high living. Built on marsh and swamp, the canals are a necessity more than a deliberate attempt to re-create Venice but repay a walk at dusk through the maze of waterways fronted by the former palaces of the nobility -and Imperial Mistresses. Mathilda Tchessinskaya, ballerina and lover of Nicholas II, once owned a beauty. It became a Pioneer Palace and I spent an afternoon inside with the arrayed Komsomol assembled to give us the correct impression of Soviet youth. Plans went happily awry when two of the girls suggested I deliberately miss the bus back, and for 2 precious hours we stole through the alleys and courtyards arm in arm.

    The St. Petersburg Mosque was opened in 1913 and remained open except for a period from WWII to 1956 when it was used for a warehouse. It has two minarets, 48 meters tall.
    It is on Petrograd Island and visible from the Neva and surrounding area.

    There are some organized tours. It is an active mosque open for prayer 10 am to 7 pm .

    Kronverksky Prospect 7
    Near metro Gorkovskaya, look right when you exit Metro and head that direction.

    This poor fella had nothing but green sludge to swim in. He just paced back and forth in his little cage. Poor guy.

    This square is a rather busy and interesting square. Escape from the crowd of Nevsky Prospekt and walk to this square. You can eat at several restaurants or visit the Technical Museum at the corner of the square.
