The Peter and Paul fortress, a major tourist attraction in St. Petersburg, stands out as the emblem of the city. The cathedral is the final resting place of many tsars, the last being Nicholas II and his family. The fortress is known to be the first building of St. Petersburg. Its corner-stone was laid by the emperor Peter the Great himself. You will also see the grim cells of what used to be the main political prison of tsarist regime and can be called “Russian Bastilles”. You will have an opportunity to take pictures from the granite Commanders’ pier – one of the most impressive places on the banks of the Neva River - a realm of water and stone. In the evening do not miss the opportunity to enjoy a music festival performance or opera and ballet upon your choice at world famous St Petersburg music halls and theatres.
