This tour includes all the must-see sights of St Petersburg.
During your visit to Peter and Paul Fortress you will see the birthplace of the city and the magnificent Peter and Paul Cathedral, the burial place of Russian Royal family.
The unsurpassed Hermitage Museum collection will show you a host of world-famous works of art, including those by Picasso, Rembrandt and Rubens, presented in the majestic buildings of the Winter Palace, and Small, New and Old Hermitages. You will also see the royal interiors of the former Romanov residence in the Winter Palace.
On the subsequent boat tour, a wide panoramic view will introduce you to St Petersburg as a maritime capital, with its charming rivers and canals and unforgettable embankments.
The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood, one of the city’s most beautiful landmarks, is a real experience to see its unique mosaic decorations, which were designed by well-known Russian artists.
The Usupov Palace adds mystery to the tour, as its interiors are full of secret stories about the wealthiest noble family of nineteenth-century Russia, and was the setting for the near-mythical assassination of Rasputin.
St Isaac’s Cathedral, built to be the greatest in the Russian Empire, boasts a profusion of gilt, marble, murals and mosaics.
