St. Petersburg classic one-day tour route 🇷🇺Church Tour This one-day citywalk route should be used by everyone who comes to St. Petersburg, right? Three churches (Kazan, Spilled Blood, St. Isaac) ➕ Centenary Bookstore ➕ Nevsky Prospekt. Compared with the churches in Moscow, I feel that the ones in St. Petersburg are more exquisite and delicate, and the tickets are cheaper. - Route 🗺️ Centenary Bookstore 👉 Kazan Cathedral 👉 Lunch on Nevsky Prospekt 👉 Church of the Spilled Blood 👉 St. Isaac’s Church 👉 Shopping on Nevsky Prospekt - 📕Centennial Bookstore Dom Knigi There are many floor-to-ceiling window seats along the windows on the second floor. There were already many people taking photos on the side facing the Kazan Cathedral in the morning. I like the chair in the corner facing the street intersection (Picture 2). The warm wood tones in the interior give it an atmosphere of lazily reading a book in the warm sunshine of winter. You can buy souvenirs on the first floor, which are suitable for gifts. Postcards with unique shapes and patterns, canvas bags printed with Russian writers, bookmarks, refrigerator magnets, calendars with beautiful illustrations... 📕Kazan Cathedral Kazan Cathedral The church is modeled after St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican and is surrounded by a circle of ancient Roman stone colonnades. 📕Cathedral of Spilled Blood Tickets for the church are 450🎫The appearance is modeled on the onions on Moscow’s Red Square. The walls and ceiling of the church are covered with mosaics, and are decorated with topaz, glass and various gemstones, which are gorgeous and colorful. 📕Saint Isaac’s Church Tickets are divided into 🎫300 for summit and 450 for visit tickets, which can be purchased individually. To get a ticket to the top, you have to climb 200 spiral stairs to see the St. Petersburg skyline. Although tiring, the scenery is worth it! The smoking Kazan Cathedral, the tallest building in Europe across the river, the cranes at the dock... If the weather is good, you can climb to the top at sunset. Visit the ticket and enter the interior of the church. Many large-format paintings occupy an entire wall. The golden reliefs are said to have used 400 kilograms of gold, and there are also works of art made of various gemstones as decorations. The park facing the church is a good vantage point to take pictures of the church. It is recommended to squat until after 6 o'clock and turn on the lights. It looks great! 📕Nevsky Prospekt There are many small shops on the street. Good shopping and shopping Exchange cash: You can exchange rubles at Sber on this street, the exchange rate is 1:14 on 10/3, and you can get your number from the machine at the door. There are many Georgian dishes on this street. Classic dishes include: Georgian cheese pancakes (shaped like a round boat with two ends, salty cheese and runny eggs), Georgian steamed buns (large Wuxi soup dumplings), manti dumplings, barbecue with pancakes...recommended Хачапури и вино (rated 4.9 by 13,159 people on the map), Chaihona (good environment, cheap prices, many choices) Century-old supermarket Eurosper: There are many supermarkets in Moscow, but this one is the only one in St. Petersburg. It is very large and comprehensive. There are many cooked foods: salads, big meat skewers, finger rice, soups, cheese cakes. Fruit, bread, juice, yogurt...the supermarket's own brands sper and natural are very cost-effective. It is recommended to come here directly to eat!

When the morning light in the north shines on the gorgeous buildings on the roadside, we come to the Kazan Cathedral on Nevsky Avenue. The status of this church is very high because it enshrines the Kazan Madonna. It is said that the Kazan Madonna has appeared many times and saved Russia at critical moments. The exterior of the church imitates the Roman architectural style. The 94 columns are magnificent. The patterns on the columns and the sculptures on the top are very exquisite. Under the gate pillar similar to the Arc de Triomphe, the water on the ground reflects the blue sky and the buildings across the street. Across the street is an ancient bookstore with a history of hundreds of years, and the small river next to the bookstore reminds me of Russian landscape oil paintings. Not far away is the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood, which belongs to the Church of the Resurrection of Christ. It is one of the few traditional Orthodox churches in St. Petersburg. The outline is beautiful, the decoration is colorful, and it is particularly eye-catching. Unfortunately, when we went, the church was being renovated, but the surrounding canal scenery was charming. Coordinates: The Kazan Cathedral is located on Nevsky Avenue in St. Petersburg, and the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is located next to the Griboedov Canal not far from Nevsky Avenue. Tickets: Kazan Cathedral is free, and the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is CNY 41 per person. Transportation: Take the subway to Nevsky Avenue Station and walk to reach it.
