Nothing in St Petersburg is allowed to be built higher than the dome of St Isaac's Cathedral. As a result, you can see it's gleaming gold dome from nearly everywhere in the city. If you're staying at the Four Seasons, Astoria or W hotels then it's a great beacon to help you get back to them! 

It is worth getting a guide to explain what you are looking at inside as it's easy to miss so much of the rich history of the building, as you get carried away by the sheer scale of the cathedral. Also worth going up to the dome so you can walk around it on the inside for stunning views across the city.
Este es un verdadero descubrimiento. Camino a Peterhof, vimos esta hermosa iglesia ortodoxa
A huge empty space in the centre of St Petersburg, with the incredible Hermitage Museum and Art Gallery on one side. The best times to visit are early in the morning (as in before breakfast when the light is perfect, the air is cool, and the square is deserted) or in the evening. When we were there in July 2015 the ACTUAL soccer World Cup was being shown to the world in the run up to the draw for the 2018 World Cup which Russia is hosting - it's actually very small in comparison to the Champions League trophy!
