Next, you will drive along Nevsky Prospekt and cross Anichkov Bridge (the first bridge in St. Petersburg), which features the world-famous complex of four sculptures — 'Horse Tamers'.
Then you will arrive at Kazan Cathedral — a temple of military victory over Napoleon, named after the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God.
The bus will go around Nevsky Prospekt and reach the mosaic cathedral — the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood.
St. Isaac's Cathedral (stop) — one of the largest cathedrals in the world with a majestic dome dominating the city's panorama.

Scheme of the cruiser 'Aurora'
Cruiser 'Aurora'
The cruiser 'Aurora' — an artifact that has passed through eras and fired into history.
'Aurora' is a legendary ship. Although technically it was an ordinary medium military cruiser, it turned out to be quite lucky. In the Russo-Japanese War of 1904, when battleships were sinking nearby, it survived. And on October 25, 1917, it fired the famous salvo that became a symbol of the start of the revolution.
The cruiser survived the era of the Russian Empire, Soviet power, and continues to live as a historical symbol of modern Russia. On board, you can go up to the deck, descend into the hold, and feel the atmosphere of different historical periods. At the entrance, you will be greeted by soldiers in revolutionary military uniforms — a great opportunity for memorable photos.
