If you love history, if you love old military ships - this is what you need. Magnificent Aurora was built in the beginning of 19 century.

Kind of a must-see in St Petersburg, but that doesn't mean it's terribly exciting. You walk on the deck and pose for a few photos, and then go downstairs into the museum bit. You won't see much/any of what the interior used to look like, as it has been gutted to make room for the exhibitions. The Cruiser Aurora is most famous for firing the shot that signalled the storming of the Winter Palace in the October Revolution, and hence was a golden calf in Soviet times. Nowadays, the government has to tread a fine line of pleasing both the USSR-was-awesome and the Czarism-was-awesome cliques, so the exhibits are split between commemorating the role of the cruiser in the revolution, as well as its service in the Czar's navy. Tick it off your bucketlist, and never visit again.

Historical place, but a bit boring exhibition. You need to take a guide to understand everything.

Very interesting museum. A lot of historical facts. Good for kids

The Aurora Cruiser is an enjoyable visit and has so much historical significance. The museum, the ship, is not large so a visit only takes 30-40 minutes, but it costs the same or close to the Hermitage which is no comparison. If coming for a short time to the city and you have limited opportunities, then photograph this impressive ship from the outside and go on to other sites. My family loved it, but we live here.
