We went to see the cruise Aurora because it had been recommended to us. It was very interesting and I'm glad we went but it is a little annoying when Russian Nationals pay 100 rubles and everyone else has to pay 300 rubles! That applies to all museums etc.

This was one of the attractions that we were most excited about,having read that you could have a tour of this historic cruiser. Upon arrival, the ship was everything it looks like online. However, that was the highlight of our trip there and is interesting that our trip there could have been saves using google images. After arriving, we spoke... More

For me it's just interesting as big ship of the beginning of XX century! All things connected with history of this ship are awful(((

Definitely one of St Petersburg's must-see sights, the Cruiser Aurora is 'credited' with firing the shot that heralded the Bolshevik Revolution. To many Russians the Aurora is better known as "the world's deadliest weapon" because "with one shot it ruined the country for 75 years". Whatever your feelings about the Russian Revolution though, this ship is so historically important that... More

Walked around 4 times and just once it was open, other days it was closed for unknown reason. There was no chance to find out when its open. Looks great from both sides of the river, walk on and under the board is interresting but nothing extra impressive. But in St. Petersburg this is a must see!

I went there on a boy's day to do history stuff and saw it. I said to myself, "Self, that's the Cruiser Aurora!" I then took a picture and felt an accomplishment at having seen the boat that got the Revolution going. I didn't go aboard. Neither did I partake of the wares of the many, many vendors just outside... More

More interesting to see from the outside as it really did not do anything in the revolution except fire a blank shot at the Winter Palace so there isn't anything historical inside. Still, it is a piece of history you will be happy you saw (if you like history)

interesting to look round, if you don't speak or read russian, don't bother with the exhibition on the lower floors, as they charge you 500 roubles and there is nothing that you can understand. The inside of the ship seems to have been removed, so stick to the deck and the free accessible bits and its pretty interesting. No tickets... More

My fiance and myself walked to this wonderful ship in the snow of Saint Petersburg. It was definitely worth it but unfortunately we couldn`t go aboard. There were many people waiting to go onboard and we would have had to wait awhile in the cold so we had a coffee instead, a bit difficult to get to if you don`t... More
