In the arms of St. Petersburg summer: top sights of Peter

The fact that thoughts are material, I now know for sure. The desire that comes from the heart is fulfilled, believe me! My dream came true once.

My first date with St. Petersburg was in August, and in just a week I fell in love with the city. And he, in turn, tried to show himself in the best light. During our acquaintance, the sky became cloudy only once, so I brought home not only souvenirs, but also a tan (!). St. Petersburg was very different: I wanted to visit not only well-known places, but also those that everyone usually chooses to their liking. And now, snatching from your mind particularly vivid events, I'm going to give you a short list of places I'm sure I'll want to go back to.

1. Historical theater-model “Petrovsky water area”.

This museum will interest even those who are bored to delve into the jungles of history. When you enter the room, it seems that in front of you is a small colorful town, in which all the seasons are mixed at once. On the winter ground, Epiphany baths are held and the children ride horses, in the autumn they blow into the hunting horn and collect servants, in the spring gardens and parks turn green, in the summer ladies in luxurious dresses with their gallant cavaliers gather for a ball. In order to see the layout in detail, you need to spend at least half a day. But, having seen the result of the painstaking work of wonderful masters, I am sure you will not regret it!

How to find: metro Admiralteyskaya, street Malaya Morskaya, 4/1, shopping center "Admiral".

2. "Republic of Cats" Cotocafe.

This place is a paradise for cat lovers! Exhibition, club, art cafe and most importantly - a whole hall with residents of the republic! Be prepared for the fact that there are laws that are strictly forbidden to violate. For example, you need to wash your hands and wear shoes. And there is its own access system: the entrance to the republic is in the closet – there you must loudly and convincingly meow. Do not try to cheat: the order in the country is vigilantly watched by a furry president. In no case do not pass by the cotometer and cotoves! For example, I have about 5.9 stature seals and 10.5 weight seals. And in general, caress every Republican, because they are very fond of attention and always welcome guests!

How to find: 10 Yakubovich Street, near Isaac Square.

3. Shipyard of historical shipbuilding "Poltava".

Here it smells delicious wood and a little noisy, which does not spoil the impression of the tour. Peter I was known for his love of the sea: he mastered the craft of ships, created a powerful fleet and made Russia a great naval power. Since then, not a single ship has survived, only descriptions and drawings, which were difficult to find on the shelves of archives and libraries. Now, thanks to the efforts of researchers and designers, we will be able not only to imagine, but also to see the newly recreated first large ship of the Baltic Fleet! It is hard to imagine that once almost all the work on the construction of such ships was carried out manually. In our time, technology has come to the rescue, but this does not detract from the beauty and scale of reconstruction! Hurry up! The ship will be launched in 15 months!

How to find: the village of Lakhta, Beregova Street, 19A.

4. Restaurant and club-appearance "Bagage for a pregnant spy".

The name itself is of genuine interest! So I looked inside out of curiosity. The restaurant is more like a museum, so while you wait for an order, you will definitely find something to do! Later I learned that it was recognized as the most extreme in the city and included in the top ten (!) best interior restaurants in Russia. So carefully consider everything and be sure to visit the restroom: the soundtrack in the booths is unlikely to leave you indifferent!

How to find: 17 Big Stable Street.

5. Weavers' creative space.

I think you can find everything here. If you like to buy unusual and cute things, then this is the place for you! There is even a selection shop! In addition, weavers often host unusual exhibitions and fairs. For example, from June 28 to October 2 of this year, you can attend the Robot Ball. Are you intrigued?

How to find: the embankment of the Obvodny Canal, 60.
