St. Petersburg, Russia - Day 2
So glad that we could get through customs to explore the city on both days since we did not have Russian visa…
Loved the the royal palaces, the magnificent churches, and the splendid museums here!
Trying the metro system
The Saint Petersburg Metro is one of the deepest metro systems in the world, 86 metres below ground

Around the museum complex
The interior is adorned with incredibly detailed mosaic icons, paintings and columns made of malachite and lapis lazuli.
The green columns are made of malachite.
The Hermitage Museum
Here was the principal residence of the czars
The Throne Room
The czars used to live here
No wonder the peasants rebelled!
