From Peter to Aurora

It is easy and simple to talk about the real reasons for the global shifts in European politics that led to the founding of our city. You will learn why Peter I decided to build a city here and what role the Navy played in our history. We will walk along the Peter and Paul Fortress and Petrovsky Embankment, where the first dwelling of the emperor was located. You will also learn how to explore history before writing has been invented, which is important for understanding the ancient history of this place. The tour takes place on foot in the historical center of our city. Planned stops at the most interesting places for photography, the entrance to the Bothnaya house, which shelters the “grandfather of the Russian fleet”, the passage through the arch of the House of Military, where he lived, including People’s Artist of the USSR Kirill Lavrov.
