Why take this tour?

Throughout the history of St. Petersburg, the city attracted people of various professions. Since religion played a very important role in those days it was necessary to give them opportunity to perform religious rites. Since Russia is a multinational country and overseas experts belonged to different faiths, it is in St. Petersburg that you can see many different sanctuaries, these are Orthodox churches, Catholic and Lutheran churches. The city has the largest choral synagogue in the country, the largest mosque in Europe (lined with real china) and a Buddhist temple. On the tour you will learn what they believed in Russia? What was the difference between today's church and the church of the 18th century? You will find out the representative of what "religious" movement was Rasputin. How did religious minorities live? And What did the 20th century prepare for representatives of all faiths in Russia
