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.

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

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.

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.

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.😉

В 12:00 стреляет пушка. Обязательно сходите в собор - усыпальницу всех Романовых, включая убиенного Николая II, а также в музей тюрьмы.

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.

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.

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=)

Летом по субботам в 12 часов (после выстрела пушки) проходит парадный развод караула (не знаю как правильно называется это мероприятие). Очень красивое зрелище! Места занимать в 1 ряду следует с 11.30

Потрясающее место с богатой историей. Именно с Петропавловской крепости начинался Санкт-Петербург! Здесь погиб царевич Алексей, не дожив до казни. Обязательное место для просмотра.
