On Day 6, enjoy a tour of the highlights of St. Petersburg. Visit Peter and Paul's Fortress, located on Zayachi Island (Hare Island). This was the first structure to be erected in the new city of St. Petersburg by Peter the Great between 1703 and 1728. Visit the Church of the Spilled Blood, and then take a special after-hours tour of St. Isaac’s Cathedral. The third-highest domed building in the world, it took some 400,000 workers over forty years to complete. The Cathedral dominates the skyline of St. Petersburg.
