Bus tour to Tsarskoye Selo "Suburban imperial residences".

After driving along the old Tsarskoye Selo road, you will find yourself in the brilliant world of the former official residence of the Russian emperors – Tsarskoye Selo.

During the tour, you will learn when this suburb of St. Petersburg appeared, what events are associated with it, and why it is often called the "city of the muses."

The magnificent and unique Catherine Palace brought special fame to Tsarskoye Selo. This is where you will visit.

Excursion to the Catherine Palace with the Amber Room.

The Catherine Palace was originally created by architect F. B. Rastrelli as a place of official receptions for Russian nobility and foreign diplomats.

Stretching for almost 300 meters, the suite of rooms and state halls, richly decorated with intricate carvings and gilding, will certainly not leave you indifferent.

And the "highlight" of the palace is the famous Amber Room.

A walk through the Catherine Park.

After the tour of the palace, you will have some free time to walk around the magnificent park surrounding the palace on your own.

An excursion to the Kunstkamera.

The word "kunstkamera" means "cabinet of curiosities" in German.

When Peter the Great first traveled abroad with the "Great Embassy" at the end of the 17th century, he saw that such "cabinets" were in great fashion among European monarchs.

As an inquisitive person, the emperor began to collect his own collection of "monsters and rarities", sparing no expense for this.

All these things later became the basis for the creation of the "sovereign's cabinet", which then turned into the first Russian museum – Kunstkamera, where Peter the Great ordered everyone to be allowed.

Excursion to St. Isaac's Cathedral.

St. Isaac's Cathedral is a magnificent and monumental masterpiece of world architecture.

During the tour, you will learn why it was built four times, and why it is so closely associated with the name of the founder of our city, Emperor Peter I.

The magnificent interior of the cathedral is amazing – a spectacular combination of gilding, colored glass, lapis lazuli and malachite, paintings and mosaics by famous artists, statues and sculptural groups.

The cathedral was rebuilt, closed, and its columns were scarred by Nazi shells.… But the swarthy gold of its domes still shines in the St. Petersburg sky.

New Year's greetings from Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden with treats and gifts.

Bus tour "Treasures of Imperial St. Petersburg".

A guided tour to the museum will introduce you to both the history of jewelry in Russia and the history of the Faberge dynasty in St. Petersburg.

The "city of museums" is what St. Petersburg is often called. Since 2013, his collection has been replenished with another "priceless treasure" – the private Faberge Museum, which we invite you to visit.

Faberge Museum tour.

The Faberge Museum is one of the most "brilliant", literally, museums in our city, where you can appreciate the creations of the best jewelers of pre–revolutionary Russia.

The brilliance of gold and precious stones used by Faberge masters in their works is complemented by paintings by I. Aivazovsky, K. Bryullov, V. Polenov, jewelry enamels and fantasy objects in the museum's exposition.

The jewel of the museum's collection is a collection of 9 imperial Faberge Easter eggs, which returned to their homeland after almost 100 years.

The program ends at Moskovsky train Station (the nearest metro station is Ploshchad Vosstaniya).

Duration of the program: ~3 hours (ending ~ at 13:30).
