We did not visit the Andreevski cathedral, but it is is completely renewed...

...so looks today the entrance to the cathedral.

Guess please, where is placed this Lutheran church? Answer: Corner of 3rd line and Sredni Prospect

We have known this bridge as a “Kirovski”...

Paul’s the First castle behind the sculpture is not a typical bulding for SPb.

The masterpiece of Rastrelli.

No comment.

Neva is cold,

Neva is deep,...

Neva is wide...

Neva is beautiful.

Such a rarity from the 50th you can still find in the small yards of the Vassiljevski Island.

“Business trip” to SPb is over.

Not the shortest, but the cheapest and most comfortable way to SPb is via Prague with CSA.
