Kronstadt is a sea city on the island of Kotlin, founded by Peter I as an outpost of the Russian Empire. Its history is closely connected with the fleet and defense of St. Petersburg: it is a city of military glory with unique architecture, an atmosphere of maritime legends and well-preserved fortifications. The central part and the Kronstadt fortress are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, and walks through the streets give a feeling of proximity to the great history and expanse of the Gulf of Finland.
Man-made sights of Kronstadt amaze with diversity: monuments to Peter I, Admiral S.O. Makarov, Thaddeus Bellingshausen and Ivan Aivazovsky, the majestic Naval Nikolsky and Vladimir Cathedrals, the Old Italian Palace and memorial squares. An important part of the appearance are forts - Totleben, Kronshlot, Emperor Alexander I and other long-term fortifications, Makarovsky and blue bridges across the canals, cast-iron pavement and anchor area. Do not forget about the dam and the complex of protective structures - a large-scale engineering heritage that forms the appearance and history of the city.
The natural attractions of Kronstadt and its environs complement the cultural layer: the embankments of the Gulf of Finland with sea views and sunsets, the green corners of the Central Park, the picturesque coasts and small coves near the forts. The bypass channel with its Blue Bridge and local memorial sculptures gives the walks its special atmosphere, and the view of the straits and sea surface makes each excursion truly sea. The surroundings of Kotlin Island are also beckoning with spaciousness and fresh air, ideal for hiking and cycling routes.
