St. Petersburg is a city on the Neva River with a rich history, created at the turn of epochs and preserving the atmosphere of imperial brilliance and northern romance. There are intertwined canals and wide avenues, palaces and cozy parks, and museums and theaters make the city a living cultural organism. The unique layout on many islands and the famous drawbridges give St. Petersburg a special aesthetic and mood for walking at any time of the year. The city preserves the memory of great figures, literary traditions and military history, which makes it interesting for both the first and second visit.
Man-made sights amaze with variety: the gates of the Hermitage and the ensembles of the Winter Palace, the splendor of the Yusupov Palace and the hanging garden of the Small Hermitage, the monument to Turgenev and the original sculpture “St. Apostle Peter”. The architecture on Zagorodny Prospekt and the Pharmacy Embankment are adjacent to modern city facilities - a complex of fountains on Moscow Square and monuments in squares. Among the bridges and embankments are the Embankment of Lieutenant Schmidt, the Italian and Kharlamov bridges, and memorials and monuments, including monuments to generals and literary heroes, add to the urban landscape of historical sound.
Natural pearls of St. Petersburg and the surroundings beckon with greenery and water expanses: Elagin Island and Yekateringof with a rotunda by the pond, Ude Park and Rzhevsky Forest Park for measured rest, Okkerville Park and South Seaside Park for family walks. In the south of the Karelian Isthmus stretches Stone Mountain, and on the shores of the Gulf of Finland stretch parks "Kornish" and coastal embankments. Nearby towns and residences, such as Peterhof with its fountains and the park around, Gatchina and Vyborg, give the opportunity to combine city tour and nature excursions.
On our site, all these attractions can be viewed on an interactive map, quickly read brief descriptions and note points of interest. The tool allows you to build personal routes around the city, optimize the sequence of stops and take into account the time for walks between objects. With a convenient planner, you easily combine museums, parks and promenades in one day and save routes for later use.
You are free to explore the city on your own, walking along the waterfronts and parks with an audio guide or guide, or book a tour with local guides who will tell little-known stories and show hidden corners.
