📍 From Inside, Russia
St. Isaac's Cathedral, an iconic symbol of the city, stands as one of the world's largest domed cathedrals. Commissioned by Tsar Alexander I and completed in 1858, its gilded dome, adorned with over 100 kilograms of gold, dominates the skyline. The lavish interior features marble, mosaics, and paintings reflecting Russian Orthodox grandeur. Visitors can climb the spiral staircase to the Colonnade for panoramic views of St. Petersburg, including the Hermitage and Neva River. Audioguide options help travelers appreciate its history and artwork. Nearby cafes and souvenir shops make it convenient on any city tour. Dress modestly inside, and check opening hours to avoid crowds.
