We only viewed it from outside, but for me this was probably the highlight of all the great sights of St Petersburg. An absolutely stunning building, which I preferred to the more colourful St Basil's Cathedral in Moscow. Lovely.

Considering last Czar will killed here by Russian revolutionaries it has great significance. It is adjacent to canal and you would pass by if you take canal ride. It resembles St Basil's Cathedral of Moscow
I got the opportunity to go into this beautiful church and was happy to pay both entry fee and the fee to tske pictures inside this gorgeous church every wall column and ceiling was painted outstanding and if anyone thought the outside better inside is crazy both were wonderfully beautiful and l was privileged to see both
Everything one expects in a Russian Orthodox church. Well maintained in an excellent location. Take advantage of the open air Vernisage market across the street for some good watercolors and the usual assortment of Russian souvenirs.
The beauty of this place is that you can devote just a short 30 minutes of your city tour to it and you'll still come away with wonderful visuals and photos - the inside is less impressive than the outside, so I'd recommend just a quick snap-and-run but it adds to the overall experience of the city!
We unluckily visited this beautiful church on a Wednesday, when it was the only day of the week that it was closed,though I don't agree with paying entry fees to churches and cathedrals as it makes them into attractions rather than shrines for worship. The striking colours and architecture hit you, as soon as you spot it, took various pics...

Beautiful building for the symbol of Saint Petersburg. It's not essential to visit inside unless otherwise you want to donate to church to save its beauty.
There are no way to criticise this place it is a must see place. the audio tour is very good and easy to use
Better than St Basils in Moscow? Very beautiful. Make sure you visit on a day it is open to see the wonderful interior.
The Church is spectacular and the interior blows you away. Take time to look at the different images the mosaic reproduce and be carried away by the magnificence of it.
