Beautiful place. I just wish it was not packed with random people trying to sell you art, ask for donations for “playing music” and other shenanigans. They’re simply using the popularity of this church to make money which is quite sleazy to me.
Beautiful from the outside. Amazing architecture. Couldn't get the chance to visit from inside. I'd suggest to visit saint petersburg in winters only if you can handle -20°C or more. Although the temperature was -24°C at the time of my visit but the wind made it hard to enjoy the view.
Absolutely essential St Petersburg spot! Imposing, impressive, it's really hard to describe the sensation of visiting this place. Something that really needs to be experienced first hand.
While the exterior is quite interesting and something that probably a lot of people would immediately associate with Russian architectural style when it comes to churches, the interior is something that is truly out of this world
