St. Basil's is more beautiful than its pictures. I recommend that you tour the inside also. When I was there last month, there was an a capella choral group giving a concert inside the chapel that sounded great. more

This is a great looking cathedral from the outside. On a clear day there are excellent photo opportunities. On the inside, it's not great. I would not spend money going inside. more
