When in St. Petersburg, I was a bit surprised when I was told our city tour was going to be having a talk in the metro. When taking the escalator down some 120meters underground, our tour guide gave the simple introduction of:

The shots are quite "touristy" but the place was so amazing I wanted to post them.
