* Car and walking tour. St. Petersburg is only 320 years old, and it probably has no equal in terms of the uniqueness of its "biography." Fortress city, port city, capital city. In a few decades, how did he manage to transform from a wooden fortress into the resplendent capital of a vast empire? You will learn about this on a sightseeing tour of St. Petersburg. The sights I'm going to tell you about are located in different parts of the city, so walking tours will alternate with trips in a comfortable car. Our route will take place not only in space, but also in time – from the foundation of a small fortress to the triumph of imperial St. Petersburg. After moving to Hare Island, we will walk along the impregnable fortress walls and remember how the Northern Capital began, what was the plan of Peter the Great. We will cross the Neva River, admire its expanses and the "strict, slender view" of its embankments from the Arrow of Vasilyevsky Island — St. Petersburg is often called the Northern Venice, but you will not see such majestic expanses of water either in Amsterdam or in Venice. On St. Isaac's Square we will see a cathedral weighing 300 thousand tons, and at the same time we will unravel the secret of the "invisible bridge" - the most unusual bridge in the city. Our trip will end in the very "heart" of St. Petersburg - on Palace Square, near the main palace of the Russian Empire.
