As we arrived in Saint Petersburg quite early at 6:30 in the morning via train, we had to wait some time until our hotel is ready and used the time to gather first experiences with the local metro.

After we settled a bit we had long walk to get a first impression of this beautiful city with its awesome buildings.

Here for example is very nice building: the St. Petersburg Mosque.

Another incredible building or more as a museum is the Katharinenpalast in Pushkin, south of St. Petersburg.

Beautiful from outside

Impressive from inside as well

The next blog post will also be dedicated to St. Petersburg as ths city is so beautiful, we can’t condense it all down to one post 🙂
