彼得保罗要塞

参观彼得保罗要塞饭后，我们延来时的路线返回彼得堡市区，坐地铁的时候直接坐到Gorkovskaya站，去参观彼得保罗要塞。彼得保罗要塞所在的小岛原称兔子岛，岛上原住着很多兔子，现在河里还有一只小兔子的雕塑草坪上还躺着一只环保材料做的超级大兔子，今天真是跟兔子有缘啊…通往彼得保罗要塞的彼得罗夫门，门上的双头鹰雕塑

彼得保罗要塞，先有要塞，后有彼得堡，1703年由彼得大帝在兔子岛上奠基，最初是为防御瑞典，为战争而建，后经扩建，建成这座六棱体的古堡，堡内有300门大炮，圣彼得门，彼得大帝的船屋，造币厂，兵工厂，圣彼得保罗大教堂，钟楼，十二月革命党人纪念碑，9年后，彼得大帝就迁都至此，1717年起这里变成了国家监狱，拉吉舍夫，高尔基，列宁的哥哥，俄罗斯好多的名人都被关过这里。如果坐地铁去就是青旅出门，沿涅瓦大街往大号方向走，大概是73号，搭乘地铁3号线 Маяковская 到 Гостиный Двор 转地铁2号线到 Горьковской 就好了，圣彼得堡的地铁和国内是一样的，在入地铁口处都有窗口售票，或者是自助售票机，27卢布，一张通行证随便转，很方便，下面是地铁图，圣彼得堡的地铁都比较老了，车也很旧地铁好深的，我站在上面不扶着都不敢往下看的我是步行去的，出青旅左手方向沿летейный.пр.一直走在与ул.пестеля交口处左转，直走会经过两座桥，右转进入НАБ.РЕКИ ФОНТАНКИ，直走再往前就上桥了，ТРОЙЦКИЙ МОСТ 穿过这座桥左手方向就是了。50卢布，换一个硬币，转一下这个机器，你喜欢的纪念章就压出来了，我要的是“断桥”

彼得保罗要塞。我们就在河上看了看 没去 不过看地图里面规划的很好 有时间可以去转转~

Peter and Paul Fortress is interesting if you are in St Petersburg for more than 3 days, otherwise I'd probably skip it and just take a photo across the river.We visited in February 2013 and it was interesting to see the locals ice fishing out the front, with their bottles of vodka standing in the ice. There was also an ice-carving display while we were there, which included a castle big enough for the kids to play on.The fortress seemed like a popular weekend destination for locals as well as tourists, but even though it was crowded, it was more like a day out at the markets rather than a jam-packed museum.It's an easy walk across and we got to watch the police hovercraft racing up the frozen river on the way.

So much to see here - the church is where the Romanov family is interred and it's beautiful. The prison is very interesting with information (in English) about its previous inmates - still retains a gloomy atmosphere.

Many Russian royal families are buried in the Cathedral. Our private guide educated us about the history of the fortress, which is very interesting. We also heard an amazing a cappella singing group.

A historical landmark and a nice place to visit in St. Petersburg. The Cathedral is impressive and there's also the burial place of many Russian Tsars and the Romanov family. While you're there, don't forget to check out the statue of Peter the Great with its disproportionately small head.

Very interesting to see whilst in St Peterburg. Easy walk from Hermitage area across the bridges. 300rb per adult for a combined ticket gains access to the Cathedral and prison. Both worth a visit. A few other museums in the complex but asking further fees of 200+rb, even wanted 250rb to walk up along the walls. A bit of a shame this wasn't all included as it does add up. Still worth a visit to see the cathedral and some good Romanov history and good views of city from that side of Neva river.

Although I walked to the Fortress along the embankment I doubt I would do it a second time. There are so many lovely neighborhoods where you could make better use of your walking time. Inside the fortress there are many interesting things to see, through it is a little off-putting that you pay at each site besides the entry fee. There is an easy to miss miniature museum, however, it is absolutely worth a visit. This artist's miniatures are so tiny the "scenes" are viewed through magnification. Walking around the grounds is pleasant, and in mid-sept. not too crowded. Being in the Cathedral,the final resting place of various Tsars and their families, or in the haunting Kresty Prison, is like breathing history.

Great experience. If you are up to the challenge, go walking from the winter Palace via the bridge on the right (looking from the Winter Palace across the river to the Fortress). As you enter the fortress, you will find yourself almost in medieval times. The entrance way has a fun rabbit where locals throw coins and make a wish. Make sure to make it to the embattlement by noon to see the cannon go off.

St.Petersburg is the great city... You do not breathing air you breathing history :) Also for me is much more romantic then Paris...so take your love and go to Peter :)))

It's a good place to visit, especially, during the summer. The way the sun reflects off the golden dome of the church is simply mesmerizing. There is a small circle of thrones on the grounds which have different colour ed glasses decorating them. Then, you have the famous statue of Peter I; a tiny head resting on a huge body. The old prison (now a museum) shows the living conditions of the revolutionaries who were imprisoned there (I visited there during winter and I was happy when I left the building - it's a dark and desolate place).In winter, there are ice sculptures exhibited in the grounds. The frozen river outside the fortress looks very beautiful.

The best attraction by far is the statue of Peter the Great with a tiny head and long fingers - it has an interesting artistic and political backstory! Plus, the spire on the church is the tallest in all the Russian Orthodox faith!

There are several places in St. Petersburg that you must visit and one of them is the Peter and Paul Fortress. It is big, with lots of buildings and lots of history. While standing in the middle of the main plaza, just in front of the Cathedral, take a look around and enjoy. It is peaceful.Then visit the rest of the buildings, where you will find all kinds of architecture and history.

This is a wonderful spot to come to either in winter or in summer. Lots of interesting history and some rather unusual rabbit statues dotted around (well it is Rabbit Island).I saw Ralph Fiennes when I was here which was unexpected!Great views looking back to the Hermitage across the water.
