Architecture, history, island, landscape, views, air, you can expirience everything on this microworld separated by wooden bridges from rest of the city. You won't miss this once you're in town.

Its a historical complex,a branch of history museum of st.petersburg. the architectural highlight of it,is the catheral. its also a landmark and can be seen from the city!

It is amazing to stand within the walls and know that so much history was created there. Either going with a tour guide, or reading a little bit about what it was, and now is, will be helpful.

Beautiful to walk around, but they ask you to pay for anything extra, and its not cheap. Also we got an electronic tour guide and had to walk all the way back to entrance to return it

The Governor House has a fantastic St Pete history exhibition with speaking telephones and a miniature house with amazingly detailed rooms - definitely worth a visit!

You can walk around the fortress or visit some of the many small museums there, such as the cosmonaut museum or the bastion prison. Surprisingly, there are actually people still living on the island.
Lefteris MposmosJanuary 21, 2017
It is like a theme park where you can go only for a walk also! The entrance there is free and you have to pay in every museum you want to visit.

Great starting place for Petersburg - a history of the city, amazing views, and lovely buildings with centuries of history
Jack JenkinsMarch 8, 2016
Large grounds to walk around, with a selection of small museums. Fortress grounds are free to enter but the museums generally all charge.

Эта крепость - сердце Петербурга, отсюда все началось! Все вокруг пропитано историей! Прекрасное место для прогулок, особенно летом. Посети и ощути себя в прошлом. Фото с Петром I обязательно! :)

Экспозицию микроминиатюр Сибирского левши must see!!! Невероятные рукотворные чудеса будут интересны самым искушенным культуристам. И Загадайте желание у камня, где был заложен град Петров.😉
Michael PonomaryovMarch 25, 2015
В 12:00 стреляет пушка. Обязательно сходите в собор - усыпальницу всех Романовых, включая убиенного Николая II, а также в музей тюрьмы.
Elvina AkhmedyarovaJuly 28, 2015
Можно прогуляться, зайти в собор и по музеям. Прогулка по территории крепости - бесплатно. Потом - спуститься на набережную. Девушки, главное - наденьте удобную обувь! Ноги убьете о брусчатку.
Frank RodríguezFebruary 22, 2015
Pueden caminar por esta espectacular obra arquitectónica que esconde y muestra un poco mas la historia de esta ciudad. No olviden las fotos, es importante llevarnos un recuerdo de esta belleza
Frank RodríguezFebruary 17, 2015
Lugar emblemático de la ciudad, aquí se guarda parte de la historia de SPB. Imperdonable no visitar cuando estemos de visita por la ciudad.
Olga TikhonovaMarch 18, 2018
Очень круто!Современно,много экспозиций...взяли Аудиогид за 400р и комплексный билет (600 р взрослый,250 пенсионер) и можно свободно гулять 2 дня подряд.Очень интересные и красочные экспозиции.
Irinka NiJanuary 7, 2015
Если идете на выставку ледяных фигур за 350 р., то бесплатно получите возможность пройтись по крепостной стене от Государева до Нарышкина бастиона. Один из самых лучших панорамных видов СПб.
Andrey DahlMay 29, 2016
Действительно- классика для отличного время препровождения. Много музеев на любой вкус. По весне, когда ещё лёд на Неве... На пляже Петропавловки можно подивиться загорающими моржами=)
Alya EstevesMarch 20, 2015
Потрясающее место с богатой историей. Именно с Петропавловской крепости начинался Санкт-Петербург! Здесь погиб царевич Алексей, не дожив до казни. Обязательное место для просмотра.
LPJune 4, 2017
Сейчас проходит выставка песчаных фигур. 350 рублей с взрослого (на территории есть детская песочница). Можно увидеть загорающих в купальниках в плюс 10 градусов людей на пляже.
