  • Rossi Street - Saint Petersburg
    Rossi Street

    Oelitsa Zodtsjevo Rossi or Rossi Street is surely a Must See. It goes from the Aleksandrinski Theatre towards the Lomonosov Square. This is really a master piece of the architect Carlo Rossi. This is almost perfect architecture. The Column Street from Palmyra dating from the antiquity served as example. This street is so perfect, the buildings are 22 m high, the distance between the buildings is exactly 22 m, and the street is 220 m long. You get the best view and experience if you look and walk coming from Lomonosov Square towards the Aleksandrinski Theatre. At Nr 2 you find the former building of the Imperial Ballet school, most famous Russian dancers started their carrier here, like Anna Pavlova and Roedolf Noerejev.

    Great Hall of Vitebsky Station
    by HORSCHECK
    Send Photo to a Friend
    Most train stations in St. Petersburg are worth seeing. My favourite one is Vitebsky station from where trains to Eastern Europe and the Baltic States leave. The Art Nouveau building was inaugurated in 1904. Besides the beautiful facade, the inside is a real gem. Go inside and have a look at the great hall, the waiting room and the restaurant.

    The Cruiser Aurora
    by starship
    Send Photo to a Friend
    Permanently docked near the Nakhimov Naval School on the Petrovskaya Embankment of the Neva River, the Aurora is famous for being the ship from which a blank shot was fired signaling for the Bolshevik attack on the Winter Palace to start which began the Russian Revolution of 1917. The Aurora appeared by all accounts to be in excellent condition considering she was built between 1897 - 1903 at the Admiralty wharf right in St. Petersburg. Unfortunately for me, the sun was not shining brightly when the accompanying photo was shot which makes her appear more drab than she really is. Now part of the Naval Museum, the Aurora is an armor-plated cruiser which saw action in the Battle of Tushima against the Japanese fleet. She's a proud-looking ship and I think a significant piece of Russian history has been lovingly preserved in her. As you can see in the picture, the Aurora now hosts guests on a paying basis. There was quite a large tourist group on her bow when we arrived, and our group did not have enough time to tour her.

    The main building of Ministries in Russian Empire times is situated in Vasil'evsky Island. It was built in 1722-1742 by Tresini architect. It is a complex of 12 building that are clung close to each other. First each Ministry has its own yard in front of the building but in 1740 all yards were joined in one street (Mendeleevskaya line nowadays). Since 1819 the building was transferred to the possession of the university. In this building the famous people studied such as chemist Mendeleev, writer Turgenev, poet Block as well as Vladimir Lenin and many others.

    You must have river boat cruise :-). You will enjoy bridges, rivers of the city and views of the city from water. There are a lot of places where you can begin your water journey. The most popular places are along Nevsky Prospekt, near of Anichkov Bridge of Kazansky Cathedral for example. The price is the same everywhere, RUR 250 (EUR 7.35).

    I recommend you to visit the island (if you don't stay there). First it is the island from where the city began to grow, the second there is a complex of Vasil'evsky Island spit with stock exchange and so on. The third it is a good place for walking by the way, especially the 7th line (a part of it is the pedestrian zone). There are many shops and cafes here. Get the metro (Vasileostrovskaya) to enjoy the island.

    Millionaire Street or Millionnnaja Oelitsa in Russian can be found just behind the Winter Palace of Peter the Great. This street was named like this because of the rich people, the aristocrats and the imperial family members who lived here in these expensive houses. So in this street you can see beautiful houses built by important Russian architects.

    Behind Aleksandrinsky Theatre you can see the interesting Rossi Street. As a matter of fact the width of the street is equal to the height of houses (22 meters). In the same time length of the street is 10 times more than the width (220 meters).
