Day two is on the other side of the Admiralty: the Kunstkamera across the Palace Bridge, St Isaac's, the Moika and New Holland. The YesGo planner works out the order and lunch. Both days are on foot, 4–15 minutes between stops. ## St Isaac's colonnade The colonnade has its own ticket — also 700 ₽ — and shows the whole centre. From May to September the cathedral and the colonnade are also open in the evening, until 21:30, so the climb can move to sunset. ## Where to stay for 2 days In the centre — between Nevsky and the Moika, or by St Isaac's Square. Both days then start 10–15 minutes' walk away, and you do not need to cross raised bridges at night. ## Tips - The Hermitage and the Kunstkamera are closed on Mondays; the Saviour on Spilled Blood and St Isaac's on Wednesdays. - The Hermitage is cheaper after 16:00 — 700 ₽. - The Yusupov Palace entrance is at 21 Dekabristov Street only. - In the navigation season the bridges open at night — if you stay across the river, be back before 1:00. - Russia uses the rouble (₽). Bank cards issued abroad usually do not work in Russia — plan how you will pay before the trip; for the metro, buy a Troika card at the ticket office. ## Questions ### Is 2 days in St Petersburg enough?
