In St. Petersburg we visited a number of historical sites, scattered throughout the city. Our first day was spent going to The Hermitage Museum/ Palace Square (bottom right) and a number of cathedrals and churches (like St. Isacc's- the top 2 left pictures), and The Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood (top right). Today was our second day in St. Petersburg and we spent the majority of it outside at the Peterhof Palace which is also home to Peter the Great's Gardens and Fountains. The architecture of the buildings, as well as the layout of all the gardens are meant to bear a strong resemblance to Versailles in France. We had a traditional Russian lunch, and visited Catherine's Palace in the afternoon which was really stunning.
