The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood in St. Petersburg is a church of many names. Some call it Church of Our Savior on Blood, Church on the Blood, Temple of the Savior on Spilled Blood and the Church of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Either way, this is a special church since it was built where Tzar Alexander II was fatally wounded in March 1881.

The first thing we did when we got to Saint Petersburg with the guys from Timetravels was the visit to the Sphinx of Saint Petersburg. Such an unexpected sight to have in Russia. It is even more weird when you look across the river into all the neo-classical palaces and building overlooking the waters. Somehow it felt like a weird trip back in time.

The St Petersburg Metro is one of the most beautiful underground railway system we ever had the pleasure of visiting. First opened in 1955, the metro of Saint Petersburg in Russia is one of the busiest in the world with five subway lines, 67 stations, over 3.000 trains and 2.5 million passengers a day. We did visited the St Petersburg Metro when we visited Russia in May and we took pictures of everything.
