St. Petersburg - Day 5 [Back to Riga]

The day started at 2.00 am, when the Spanish team went to the river NEva in order to see the spectacle of the brigdes over River Neva opening and the boats crossing the city. During the rest of the day, we were visiting some other places in the city (Aurora Cruiser, gardens...)

St. Petersburg - Day 4 [Church of Our Savior on the Spilled Blood]

Another reason to visit St. Petersburg is the "Church of Our Savior on the Spilled Blood" (also called the Church on Spilt Blood or the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ). The name refers to the blood of the assassinated Alexander II of Russia, who was mortally wounded on that site.

St. Petersburg - Day 3 [Peterhof]

Luxury. This is the 1st word that come into my mind when I think about Peterhof. Peterhof (Russian: Петерго́ф), is a series of palaces and gardens (with fountains), laid out on the orders of Peter the Great, and sometimes called the "Russian Versailles". Read more about Petehof in Wikipedia Classical Musica Band Tip . Use the underground + a bus in order to go to Peterhof. It is really cheaper compared to Meteor boat. Metro+bus way : First go to the metro station Avtovo (line 1). Exit Mthe station, cross the street, there's a small bus marked 424A that goes to the front door of Peterhof that cost 30 rubles. So each way is 30 + 12 rubles for the metro. Boat way : The cheapest Meteor boat costs around 300 rubles. These boats start directly in front of the Winterpalace (Hermitage) and the ride will take about 40 minutes. During whole the weekend, in the Dovortsovaya Square, we had been looking people reading the same purple book. It was sooo strange!! So we asked a guy

St. Petersburg - Day 2 [Hermitage and City]

In our tourist planning, the Hermitage Museum was the first thing to visit on Saturday. The State Hermitage Museum (Russian: Государственный Эрмитаж) is one of the largest museums in the world, with 3 million works of art. The vast Hermitage collections are displayed in six buildings, the main one being the Winter Palace which used to be the official residence of the Russian Tsars [ read more about Hermitage ]. Luxury Alvaro and me Look the painting walls! Horses So huge, that we had to stop after 5 hours. Too much information for our brains (imagine, we walked through 2 rooms of Picasso, but we didn't care about it...) Tip . If you are student and you have an ISIC card , the entrance is FREE! (saving 10 euros) During the evening, we were visiting the city, observing the Russian style of life. Wedding in Russia = Champagne Авто радио, Auto Radio in cirilic alphabet
