About Peter and Paul Fortress
The golden spire helps you locate the complex before you cross to Zayachy Island. Within the walls, Peter and Paul Cathedral shares space with exhibitions and former prison sites. Choose which interiors to visit.
Entering the grounds and entering each museum are different things. Some works restrict access along the Neva and on the island's beach; the itinerary skips those stretches. Follow current signage rather than retracing routes from old photographs.
