Reviewed July 6, 2016. Nicholas Naval Cathedral of The Epiphany is a pretty church with a nice bell tower, and it's a good excuse to walk through a bit of St. Petersburg you may not otherwise see. There is a little park in front with lots of families and kids playing.

There isn't a lot to do on this small island with a sleepy, quiet town, but this cathedral was one of my favourite sights during my visit to Saint Petersburg. Kronstadt is around 1 hour driving away from the center, but this visit was well worth the drive. I loved the unique detail in this particular orthodox cathedral.
