The Peter and Paul Fortress,
The oldest building of St Petersburg was build in 1703 by Peter the Great on an island in the Neva river to protect the area from possible attack by the Swedish army. Later it became a political prison (even Peter's son Alexei stayed here). Other famous "residents" were Dostoyevsky and Trotsky.
In the middle of the fortress is the Peter and Paul Cathedral where almost all Russian Emperors and Empresses are buried. Leave a Comment Address: Island in the Neva river opposite the Hermitage.Other Contact: Closed on Tuesdays.

Take a night trip around St.Peter.
The trip takes about 5h. The bus is going around St.Peter. You can see a lot of interesting buildings and of course opening of the Neva bridges.
The price for such a trip is app. 10-15 USD for person. Leave a Comment Directions: You can find a lot of people offering this trip in the Centre (e.g. near Winter Palace).

Peter the great built the church, where all the czars are buried. The fortress produced coins first and then it was used as a prison. Nowdays, there is a cosy City Museum here. Leave a Comment Address: Opposite the Hermitage, on the Neva river.

The tombs of the tsars are found here - the furthest one in this photo with the flag above it is that of Peter the Great. There is a new room dedicated to the last tsar and his family - their remains were brought here in 1998 on the anniversary of their deaths.

This is the spire of the stunning (and under renovation, hence the scaffolding) Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral.
