Traveling to Russia, this stop came to St. Petersburg. There is a big square at the entrance of the Winter Palace Palace. When I came here, it was winter. It was snowy and white. There was a carriage parked in the square for taking pictures. Of course, it was charged. Because we were in a hurry, we didn't go to someone to ask for the price. The square is very empty, there is nothing else to block except a monument. In the peak season, it should be crowded, because this is one of the famous tourist attractions.
