One last look at the Grand Palace before heading out into the town of Petrodvorets.
Nikolskiy Store

The Nikolskiy Store and Cafe in Petrodvorets town, built in traditional Russian country style. There were no markings on this building to indicate whether it was actually old or just built in that style.

In any case, the Coca-Cola sign is a nice touch.

SS Peter and Paul Cathedral
SS Peter & Paul Cathedral in Petrodvorets, built at the turn of the 20th century in Russian style.

Another shot of the SS Peter & Paul Cathedral. It's hard to bump up the color saturation on pictures like this with having them look like 1960s postcards.

A last look at the SS Peter & Paul Cathedral.

You know, I think I prefer this Russian architecture to the baroque and classical European buildings in Saint Petersburg.

Petrodvorets rail station

We decided to leave Petrodvorets by elektrichka (electric train) instead of going back on the hydrofoil. This is the interior of the Petrodvorets train station, which was originally a church.
