Itinerary

  • Day 1 - "St. Petersburg is Famous." Great sightseeing tour of St. Petersburg

    The first meeting with Peter's main adventure – the most romantic city in Russia!

    Arrival in Saint Petersburg.

    11:00 Meeting with a guide at the Moscow railway station at the monument to Peter the Great, a sign with the name of the tour "City of adventurers".

    The bus "Big sightseeing tour of St. Petersburg" is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, where every district and island is unlike any other. The very appearance of this city has become an adventure in world history.

    We will start from Nevsky Prospekt, where strict classicism and flashy modernism converged. Here Gogol's characters embark on love adventures, Pushkin is going to duel, and street musicians arrange incredible concerts.

    The main squares are waiting for us: Dvortsovaya, Isaakievskaya and Senatskaya. They remember the main adventurers perfectly well: the Decembrists and the Bolsheviks! We will also visit the self-willed Vasilyevsky Island, which did not obey Peter's plans and did not become the center of the city, but showed Russia many museums and universities.

    We'll also take a ride around Petrogradka to examine the facades of Art Nouveau houses, unexpected for the prim St. Petersburg of the 19th century. Petersburg can be different, which one is closer to you, you will find out on this tour.

    Approximate stops along the route: Arts Square, Palace Square, St. Isaac's Square, Vasilyevsky Island Arrow, Aurora, Smolny.

    Stops in the city center for photo breaks.

    Stop for an independent lunch near the food mall "1853 Railway Station".

    VOKZAL 1853 is the largest food mall in Russia and Europe, which will be located in the historic Warsaw Railway Station building. Three floors and 34,000 square meters will unite the entire gastronomic, entertainment and business life of St. Petersburg.

    Guided tour of the Peter and Paul Fortress, the founding site of a city unlike other cities in St. Petersburg. The fortress itself has become a novelty for Russia of the XVIII century, which has not yet seen such fortifications.

    The Peter and Paul Cathedral also broke with tradition – instead of the usual low temple with five domes, a massive pointed spire appears in Russia. The fortress was also glorified by the prisoners of the Trubetskoy Bastion prison – the rebels and conspirators, whose myths spread throughout the city.

    Transfer to the base hotels.

    For an additional fee: The Russian Railway Museum is Russia's main railway museum and one of the largest railway museums in the world. Here you will find rare and legendary steam locomotives, diesel locomotives, wagons of various types and, of course, interactive panels and installations, thanks to which the journey into the past will become even more exciting (600 rubles for adults, 400 rubles for children).
