Climb aboard this massive training ship which belonged to the Baltic Fleet and played a key role in the start of the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917.
The history of the cruiser Aurora is firmly intertwined with the 20th century story of St. Petersburg. During the communist period it was proudly revered as the ship that (allegedly) fired the shot that (allegedly) signaled the start of the October Revolution.
The 7600 ton ship has been a museum since 1956, moored before the Nakhimov Naval Academy on a tributary just to the north of the Neva itself.
Inside there is a reasonably interesting selection of photos, maps and uniforms as well as information about the ship's history.
The Aurora is now maintained by cadets from the nearby Nakhimov Navy School. Admission to the Aurora is free, but for an extra fee you can tour the engine- room.
Hours: 10.30a.m- 4p.m ; Tue- Thu, 10:30a.m- 4p.m; Sat- Sun.
