Have a look at the most controversial statue of Peter the Great, peek at the all-season sun lovers (the strongest ones come for a sunbath even in February), try to hit the hare by Ioannovsky bridge with a coin for good luck and hear traditional cannon shot at midday (on summer Saturdays you can also observe change of guards right after that).

Frankly saying I don't know if locals actually adore it or not, it's just that majority of locals have to 'participate' in a boat excursion AT LEAST a couple times each year when they get a visit from a friend from another place, because it's the best, easiest and quickest way to introduce the city to a person and vice versa! :)

It is a good way to relax like a local and feel the breeze from the Gulf of Finland. Family with kids can go to the mini zoo and for a company of friends I suggest to visit an amusement park located nearby. There is a good restaurant "Russian Fishing" where you can catch a fish and then eat it grilled.

Apart from being a perfect place for a picnic in the middle of the city, it's also interesting as one of cultural heritage objects of Russia. By the way, at its lake the first world championship on figure skating took place in 1896.

Outstanding attention to details makes this project interesting and amusing both for kids and adults. Looks like all the characters live here their own lives. Admission is pricey (10€), but it is totally worth it.

The cinema is situated in the hotel "Angleter" (on the ground floor) famous with its splendid furnishings and has about 200 seats. So you'll fell yourself like in the begining of the 20th centure with the exception of great sound and quality of the picture.

Yusupov palace is worth visiting not just because notorious Rasputin was murdered there (though of course there is a small exposition dedicated to those events), but also because its interiors, that used to belong to the richest family of Russia, are nowadays the best preserved evidence of the 18th century living.

It is actually a great place for treasure hunting if you're in the mood for this kind of things, though it might be a bit difficult to find: from metro Udelnaya go to the right, cross the railways, then turn to the right and keep going as long as you can (there will be some crappy shoe/clothes kiosks, just ignore them)
