First, walk along Nevsky Prospect (main avenue of the city).
Cross the Anichkov Bridge famous for its four equestrian statues.
Walk along the Fontanka river embankment and have a short stop to see the statue of “Chizhik Pyzhik” and hear the story of this curious little bird.
Pass the Mikhailovsky (Engineering) Castle – a former residence of the Emperor Paul I.
Walk through Mikhailovsky garden towards The Church of the Saviour on the Spilt Blood (the monument of Russian Orthodox architecture built on the spot where the tsar Alexander II was assassinated).
Walk across Konushennaya Square, go along the Moika river embankment and all the way to the Palace Square with its Triumphal Arch and the Winter Palace facing each other and the Alexander Column in the middle.
Walk along Nevsky and see the Stroganov palace, Kazan Cathedral, Gostiny Dvor, Church of the Savior on the Spilled Blood and other places of interest. Crossing the bridge, you'll have one longer stop for visiting the Peter & Paul's Fortress. Our guide will show you around the Peter-and-Paul Fortress with its St. Peter and Paul's Cathedral. The Peter and Paul fortress, a major tourist attraction in St. Petersburg, stands out as the emblem of the city. The cathedral is the final resting place of many tsars, the last being Nicholas II and his family. The fortress is known to be the first building of St. Petersburg. Its corner-stone was laid by the emperor Peter the Great himself. You will also see the grim cells of what used to be the main political prison of tsarist regime and can be called “Russian Bastilles”. You will have an opportunity to take pictures from the granite Commanders’ pier – one of the most impressive places on the banks of the Neva River - a realm of water and stone. In the evening do not miss the opportunity to enjoy a music festival performance or opera and ballet upon your choice at world famous St Petersburg music halls and theatres. Check the repertoire here. And take your date to one of the so many to choose restaurants. Do not hesitate to contact us if you need a recommendation.
