You will learn the history of the St. Petersburg bridges and feel the pulse of the modern city.
Guided tour of the Peter and Paul Fortress.
The Peter and Paul Fortress is rightfully called the "heart" of St. Petersburg, because it was with its foundation stone that the history of our city began at the beginning of the XVIII century.
In the early years of the fortress, the territory inside the fortress walls was, in fact, the city itself.
And although St. Petersburg subsequently moved far beyond the walls of the fortress, everything inside remained unchanged.
During the tour of the fortress, you will walk along one of the first streets of the city, see the triumphal gate and the main Cathedral square, admire the panorama of the Palace Embankment and count how many hares live on the island now.
