We will walk with you along the Petrogradskaya side, the historical district of the city where St. Petersburg originated, where its first inhabitants settled, and where a number of the oldest stone buildings have been preserved.
Let's discover St. Petersburg through the eyes of Peter the Great by following the new walking route "Peter's Way", which runs along Petrovskaya Embankment. You will be surprised to see the modest house of the emperor, measure your height with him, and also compare how Peter's huge step differs from yours.
During the tour of the Peter and Paul Fortress, you will get acquainted with one of the first buildings of St. Petersburg, a unique historical and architectural monument. Here, at the origins of the city, you will learn how the fortress was both a defense and a place of detention.
You will hear a fascinating story about how money was minted at the St. Petersburg Mint, feel the sinister atmosphere of the Trubetskoy Bastion prison, see several sculptures of hares (which gave this island its name), and meet with one of the most original monuments to Peter the Great in St. Petersburg.
You will visit the tomb of the Russian emperors, the Cathedral of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, whose famous gilded spire, a symbol of hope and greatness, towers over the city.
