St Petersburg Metro - Palace Of The People!
When its cold and raining outside (or even snowing!) and you’ve had enough of museums, what is there to do in St Petersburg? Well, let us show you! We spent a day riding the St Petersburg metro system to several different stations.
Why? St Petersburg has some of the most elaborate underground metro stations in the world (and also some of the deepest). You can start your own metro tour from any station and make it up as you go along :)

St. Petersburg Russia Metro - August 2019
We cruised the Baltic in August 2019 to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. One port of call on the cruise was St. Petersburg Russia where we spent two days on a guided tour. The tour included spending sometime in The Metro which is one of the deepest in the world. St. Petersburg is a series of islands so the metro had to be run deep enough to go under the surrounding waterways. We traveled on the longest escalator we’ve ever seen.
Original designers incorporated art into the stations and platforms. We were told the idea was to create an art museum for the masses. As you can see in the video, everything appeared to be dated but was clean and well maintained.

Saint Petersburg, Russia - Line 1 Kirovsko Vyborgskaya Line - Avtovo to Narvskay Stations (2018)
Avtovo (Russian: А́втово) is a station on the Kirovsko-Vyborgskaya Line of the Saint Petersburg Metro. Designed by architect Yevgenii Levinson (ru), it opened as part of the first Leningrad Metro line on November 15, 1955. In 2014, The Guardian included it on the list of 12 most beautiful metro stations in the world.
Kirovsky Zavod (Russian: Ки́ровский заво́д) is a station of the Saint Petersburg Metro on the Kirovsko-Vyborgskaya Line. The station opened on 15 November 1955.
Narvskaya (Russian: На́рвская) is a subway station in Saint Petersburg, Russia on the Kirovsko-Vyborgskaya Line between the stations Baltiyskaya and Kirovsky Zavod. The station opened on November 15, 1955, as part of the first stage of Saint Petersburg Metro from Avtovo to Ploschad Vosstania.
Avtovo's unique and highly ornate design features columns faced with ornamental glass manufactured at the Lomonosov factory.[3] Although the original plan envisaged using glass on all of the columns in the station, white marble was substituted on some due to time constraints. This marble was supposed to be temporary, but it has never been replaced. The walls are faced with white marble and adorned on the north side by a row of ornamental ventilation grilles. At the end of the platform a mosaic by V.A. Voronetskiy and A.K. Sokolov commemorates the Leningrad Blockade (1941-1944) during the Second World War.
Unlike the other stations on the first line, Avtovo is a shallow-level station, constructed using the cut and cover method. It belongs to the shallow column class of underground stations.
Avtovo has as its entrance vestibule a large Neoclassical building with a domed cupola, located on the east side of Prospekt Stachek (ru).
Kirovsko-Vyborgskaya Line (Russian: Кировско-Вы́боргская ли́ния, the line between the city's Kirovsky District and Vyborgsky District) is the oldest line of the Saint Petersburg Metro, opened in 1955. The original stations are very beautiful and elaborately decorated, especially Avtovo and Narvskaya. The line connects four out of five Saint Petersburg's main railway stations. In 1995, a flooding occurred in a tunnel between Lesnaya and Ploschad Muzhestva stations and, for nine years, the line was separated into two independent segments (the gap was connected by a shuttle bus route). The line is also one of the two lines in the network to feature shallow stations, the other being the Nevsko-Vasileostrovskaya Line.
The line cuts Saint Petersburg centre on a northeast-southwest axis. In the south its alignment follows the shore of the Gulf of Finland. In the north it extends outside the city limits into the Leningrad oblast (it is the only line to stretch beyond the city boundary). The Kirovsko-Vyborgskaya Line generally coloured red on Metro maps.
Saint Petersburg (Russian: Санкт-Петербу́рг, tr. Sankt-Peterburg, IPA: [ˈsankt pʲɪtʲɪrˈburk] (About this sound listen)) is Russia's second-largest city after Moscow, with five million inhabitants in 2012. An important Russian port on the Baltic Sea, it has a status of a federal subject (a federal city).
Situated on the Neva River, at the head of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea, it was founded by Tsar Peter the Great on May 27 [O.S. 16] 1703. On 1 September 1914, the name was changed from Saint Petersburg to Petrograd (Russian: Петрогра́д, IPA: [pʲɪtrɐˈgrat]), on 26 January 1924 to Leningrad (Russian: Ленингра́д, IPA: [lʲɪnʲɪnˈgrat]), and on 7 September 1991 back to Saint Petersburg. Between 1713 and 1728 and in 1732–1918, Saint Petersburg was the capital of Imperial Russia. In 1918, the central government bodies moved to Moscow.
Saint Petersburg is one of the modern cities of Russia, as well as its cultural capital. The Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments constitute a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Saint Petersburg is home to the Hermitage, one of the largest art museums in the world. Many foreign consulates, international corporations, banks and businesses have offices in Saint Petersburg.
Saint Petersburg hosted the games of 2018 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2020.

Only in Russia would there be an ENTIRE museum dedicated to Russian Vodka... but we thought hey when in Russia?! And given that we had been here an entire month and still not managed to try any Russian vodka AT ALL... We figured it was about time!
The Russian Vodka Museum is located in central St Petersburg, a short 15-minute walk from Admiralteisky metro station. The small museum will give you a brief history of Russian Vodka, with the opportunity to to try some at the end! There are a few different ticket options with varying prices. We went with a museum entry and a Russian Vodka tasting which cost ₽450 ($9AU), and we spent about hour there. The museum is perfect for anyone who wants to learn a bit more about the history of Russian Vodka.

Faberge Museum St Petersburg Russia Virtual Tour
Faberge Museum St Petersburg Russia Virtual Tour: See the largest collection of Faberge Eggs as well as other Carl Fabergé. If you can't visit the Faberge Museum in St Petersburg, then this virtual tour is the next best thing.
The Link of Times collection is made up of 4,000 works of decorative and fine arts, including works of gold and silver, paintings, porcelain, and bronze works.
The collection, which has evolved over the course of a decade and continues to grow, is being presented to the public for the first time in the magnificent Shuvalov Palace in St. Petersburg, which was restored by the Link of Times.
Malcom Forbes: The core of the exhibition is the work of the famous Russian jeweler Carl Fabergé (1846-1920), the court jeweler to the Russian Tsars. These works were purchased in early 2004 from the heirs of the American newspaper magnate Malcolm Forbes (1919-1990), who collected the Tsarist jewels for half a century. Thus, the famous Forbes collection was saved from being divided (items from the Forbes collection were first planned to be sold at an auction) and, in essence, from complete liquidation. The jewelry masterpieces, some of which were sold by the Bolsheviks in the 1920s-1930s, were brought back to Russia, thus marking the beginning of repatriation of Russia’s national artistic heritage. This collection is without a doubt one of the best in the world in terms of its size, its diversity, and the quality of its works, many of which belonged to the Russian royal family and members of other royal courts of Europe.
Obtaining the collection from Forbes marked a significant event in the history of Russian culture. As for the creation of Russia's first privately-owned museum of national importance, this was only the beginning. The Link of Times foundation became one of the key players on the secondary art market. For 10 years purchased the works of Carl Fabergé and other significant Russian jewelers from the 16th-20th centuries at the world's top auction houses: Sotheby’s, Christie’s, Bonhams, Phillips, Bukowskis, Dorotheum, etc. The foundation followed news of the Russian jeweler's masterpieces in Europe, North and South America, and Asia.
“In the span of 10 years, we published announcements in every high-profile journal and worked with a wide variety of auction houses and experts. Finally, everything was returned to its homeland, where these masterpieces were created. We're proud of this fact and think that we've done a great job collecting not a great collection, but the world's very best collection of Fabergé works.” Apart from the largest and most representative collection of works by Fabergé, the foundation has managed to collect a one-of-a-kind collection of Russian enamel, consisting of over 100 items made by the artists Fyodor Rückert—an unprecedented number for one collection. The remarkable collection of the Tsars' gold cutlery boxes, made in St. Petersburg and abroad for the Petersburg Court, also deserves special attention. Among these boxes are enamel decorated miniatures featuring portraits of almost all of the Romanov emperors and unique exhibits with miniature-mosaic plaquettes on the lids.
The Link of Times' collection is presently on display in the staterooms of the Shuvalov Palace. The Museum's exhibitions use modern design techniques; they have been designed specifically for the Museum. The boundaries between onlookers and the works of art practically disappear thanks to the spacious and, at first glance, seemingly invisible display cases, and the artificial light transforms these works of art into multimedia objects.
