Jack can’t really get in due to the mystical weirdness that keeps him away from places of spiritual power.
Set couldn’t care less about seeing a church, unless it was to either steal or deface something.
Thoth would much rather settle in at a café and read.
Bobo has the look of a monkey that needs a few stiff drinks pronto.
Pandion would prefer to just aimlessly wander around the city and drink in the sights.
And Nessie practically glues herself to the heater to fend off the encroaching cold; besides, it’s not like you could really take her inside anyhow.
When you go to head into the church itself, you discover that there’s no entrance fee. Guess it makes sense not to monetize the religious aspect of the experience, but you still would’ve expected a charge to see the museum parts.
Not that you’re complaining of course, free is free. Even better, the place doesn’t have that many visitors at the moment; you were half-worried to see the place buried in tourists, but it looks like you’re fortunate enough to visit during their offseason.

> Make your way to the Imperial Room, where the main altar is located. It was purportedly built on the same plot of land as the original basement where the Tsar and his family were executed. If you want to pay your respects to the last of the Romanovs, this would be the place.> Find a quiet place in the lower church to reflect and pray. It’s been a long time since you’ve stepped foot into a place of worship, and longer still since you’ve felt comfortable in one. But given the foes you’ve found yourself squaring up against lately, a bit of divine providence wouldn’t go amiss.> Wander around the upper church and examine the mosaic art of those martyred under the Soviet regime. While the subject is more than a little macabre, the art is still fascinating stuff. Who knows, you might even try your luck at making a few sketches.> Speak with one of the priests about the history of the site and its significance. Ever since you’ve started working for Jack, you’ve honed a keen interest in learning more about the events of the past. It’d be a good way to practice your Russian, if nothing else.> Spend some time in the outside gardens and enjoy the ambience. Might be a good opportunity to give their flowers a once over; you haven’t had a good opportunity since Belle Reve to get your hands dirty in a good way. Who knows, you might even get to take a few home with you.> Other?
