Top 15 must see in St.Petersburg in summer

🍎The Hermitage Museum Including General Staff

If you are not big art fan - just check interiors of the Main complex and collection of Impressionists in the General Staff - you will be enough impressed after 2 hours🤩.

Lifehack - start with impressionists - there is never a queue to enter and with the same full ticket go to Main complex.

🍎Church of Savior on the Spilled Blood

This church is worth to be seen - it is in the top 20 most popular places in the world according to Tripadvisor.

Tip - they sell beautiful enamel crosses in the shop of the museum.

🍎Peterhof Fountains by hydrofoil

Just wonderful sea trip to see golden fountains. You can spend there a day - easy. Go to Monplaisir Palace and Tzar's bath pavilion instead of the Great Palace.

Lifehack - when you buy coffee in the park - ask with no addition, or it will cost dozens of dollars.

🍎Red line of Subway, especially station Avtovo

Start in the center with Admiralteyskaja - its one of the newest stations, change on Zvenigorodskaya to Pushkinskaya - with monument to the poet and go straight to Avtovo getting off on Narvskaya and Kirovskiy Zavod. Perfect metro trip

🍎Pushkin residence and Catherine's Palace

Great place to come in Summer, but

Lifehack - until you have online tickets, go with guide!

🍎Pavlovsk residence and Palace, plus take a Troika horses ride there

If you tired of gold in St.Petersburg - go to Pavlovsk, austere and classic residence.

🍎Faberge Museum

Just imagine that each Imperial egg cost dozens of million dollars.

Lifehack - hunt tours in english on Faberge museum site.

🍎Canal boat ride

Just different point of looking to the city. Go with day boat, as night one is extremely boring.

🍎The drawing bridges

Unusual time in the city, nights in summer - nobody sleeps, on the streets more people than during day, crowds around bridges at about 1 am. You will never see this night peaceful madness anywhere in the world.
