The next day we decided to take it a bit easier and just walk around the city and visiting some of the famous landmarks. Among them were the famous bronze statue of Peter the Great (lovingly nicknamed by me, "Peter on the horse"), the beautiful St Isaac Cathedral, which had a very interesting resemblance to St Paul's Cathedral in London, and the Hermitage (or the Winter Palace) and the Palace Square, the seat of the tzars and the site of several historic events connected with the Russian Revolution.
