Extremely energetic 45 minute or 1 hour "Spinning" classes. The ultimate cardio workout. Staff are all very helpful and enthusiastic. The studio is located on the 3rd floor above EuroSpar facing Vladimirskaya Cathedral. A reservation is needed as the classes are quite full. Tell the reception staff that it is your first time and they will explain everything. Also tell the instructor and they will adjust the exercycle to the correct height. A water bottle is a must! Highly recommended to try at least once. The lockers, changing rooms and facilities are all modern and clean. The introductory offer is three classes for 1100 roubles. More information and the schedule can be found https://spb.velobeat.ru/

Baggins Coffee

Saint Petersburg · Qəhvəxana

Iyun 2026

Small Baggins CoffeeShop conveniently located in Kievskaya Улица. The service is fast and friendly, the coffee is good (though I am not an expert on coffee). The cafe is comfortable, not too loud so it is suitable to have meetings or discussions. Some cafes have loud music or a lot of kitchen noise making meetings difficult. There is a steady stream of customers mostly for takeaway. It has always been possible to get a seat. It can be possible to find car parking on the street, but remember Kievskaya is a clearway on Wednesdays. No parking allowed during the day.

Hermitage Museum General Staff

Saint Petersburg · Muzey

Iyun 2026

The Hermitage General Staff Building contains an impressive world class collection of Monet, Renoir, Matisse, Cezanne and Picasso paintings. In addition there are many beautiful works by Russian painters who i regret that I was not more aware of. It is recommended to get the audio guide, start on the top floor (4th) and descend to the 3rd and 2nd floors. In addition to paintings there are several large sculpture halls, silverware and other exhibitions. Two hours was not enough time and I left without seeing everything. I will return for sure. Like the Hermitage at the Winter Palace, it takes more than one visit and more than one day to see everything. There building has been extensively modernized and an impressive atrium is at the start of the exhibition. Another outstanding world class museum! There are multiple book and souvenir shops throughout the museum. The shop just before the exit has canvas (not paper) printed copies of many of the beautiful paintings in the museum. The paintings are up to A2 size.

Sportmaster

Saint Petersburg · İdman mağazası

Iyun 2026

SportMaster in Sennaya Plochad has a good selection of sports and fashion clothes, shoes and sports equipment. Fashion items such as Vans shoes are available. The selection is very good and the price is reasonable. The staff asked to join SportsMaster membership card and could understand "Beginners Russian". For sports equipment I prefer to buy in a shop rather than Wildberries. I am planning to return to get more active wear before going to Europe. There price is much more reasonable that France and Italy.

Very good Bushe with plenty of selection. The cafe is very busy with delivery orders. It may take some time for your order too be prepared, but the environment is nice to wait. I will return. Staff are busy but find time to be helpful

BeefZavod

Saint Petersburg · Restoran

Iyun 2026

Paradice for meat lovers! A very extensive list of different kinds of steak and meat options. The menu, service, decor and atmosphere is all world class. There are options for those who are not meat eaters. The Lake Ladoga fish was excellent. An English menu is available. Many of the products that are on the menu are available for purchase at the reception. Based on feedback from my friends the quality is excellent. The restaurant is very popular and an advance reservation is essential. The restaurant is located near the Peter the Great Botanic Gardens. A walk around the Botanic Gardens either before or after dining at BeefZavod is a nice activity.

Holy Trinity Cathedral

Saint Petersburg · Pravoslav kilsəsi

Iyun 2026

Alexander Nevskii Monastery complex is important from a historical point of view. The individual buildings are not as spectacular as Kazan Cathedral, Issac Cathedral or Church on Spilled Blood. The Monastery is still interesting to visit. There is quite a lot of reconstruction currently, making taking good quality photos difficult. It is recommended to read the history of Alexander Nevskii and some of the other famous people entombed in the Monastery before visiting.

Palomnik

Saint Petersburg · Restoran

Iyun 2026

Stolovaya located on the grounds of Alexander Nevskii Monastery. Food is very nice. The portions were very generous. The облепиха (seabuckthorn) juice for sale at the counter is genuine and not overloaded with sugar (as is typical). IMPORTANT: The stolovaya *only* accepts cash. No cards, no phone and no electronic payment. There is a ATM at the metro station. Make sure to have cash before visiting.

Монастырский хлеб

Saint Petersburg · Çörək

Iyun 2026

Very nice bread at a very reasonable price sold on the grounds of Alexander Nevskii Monastery. There are several caravans around the Monastery complex. Some sell sweet bread, but there one located where this Yandex pin is located sells small and large sandwich bread (uncut, full loaf). The "Monastery Bread" is nice, it is a small raisin bread. The БАБУШКИ inside are very friendly and helpful. They accept payment by card or cash. Whenever I am in the area I buy their bread. It is much better than what is sold in supermarkets.

Vladimir Lubenko's mosaic courtyard

Saint Petersburg · Muzey

May 2026

A unexpected and surprisingly nice mosaic courtyard, children's play area and mural hidden near Peter the Great's Lodge. Highly recommended for those with an interest in creativity and modern art. The style slightly reminds me of some of Gaudi's creations in Barcelona, but certainly the artist has their own unique style. The courtyard area with a children's play castle has seating, a sundail and other mosiac decorations including a large Lion. Around 100m meters away there is a low relief culture mural on a wall. Be sure not to miss this as it is quite impressive. I wish I knew more about who created this and what is depicted.
