This fortress, built to deflect Swedish raids, was the city’s very first structure. While the view from the fortress ramparts is fantastic, the main attraction is Trezzini's Peter and Paul Cathedral. Almost all Romanovs including Nicholas II, are buried here. There are several other museums scattered around the fortress grounds, like the political prison museum or St. Petersburg history exhibition and you can buy a special day ticket which enables access to all.

As you leave Saint Petersburg on your way to the nearest suburb of Vsevolozhsk, you will drive along the Road of Life - the highway leading to the north-east of the city towards Ladoga Lake. Trucks loaded with children and women traveled along the road to try to save the weakest ones from the besieged city during World War II. The 'Flower of Life' monument is a memorial to all children who had died in Leningrad during the Siege. It is a very tragic page of city history, but one that we should always remember.
