ST. PETERSBURG'S SECRET DOORS
Description:
Atmospheric walk through the secret corners of the city, carefully preserving the atmosphere of the past. During the walk, we will get acquainted with the peculiarities of life of urban inhabitants of the 19th and early 20th centuries, and also trace the evolution of St. Petersburg courtyards from gloomy, shelterless "black yards", courtyards-wells to ceremonial courtyards-courdoniers. St. Petersburg yards are the visiting card of St. Petersburg. Now the courtyards are mainly scenery for filming historical films and films about the criminal history of the city. And we admire the diversity. This excursion is also interesting because there are not so many yards in the city center, which are accessible to travelers, and in 2006-2007 in St. Petersburg a program was carried out to improve the courtyards in the city center.
* Duration: 2 hours
