Smolny Abbey, also known as Smolny Palace, is the last attraction in St. Petersburg's itinerary. It was on the last night to check in. The blue building at night was simply so beautiful that people lingered.

The most famous tourist place in St. Petersburg, this monastery is also quite distinctive, you can see a lot of unique things here, the monastery itself is also a good place to visit, with a very strong Russian style.
