* Before Christmas, St. Petersburg turns into a Fairy-Tale City. Light fountains, sparkling streets, buildings decorated in New Year's decorations, Christmas markets - all this creates an amazing atmosphere of celebration and magic. I invite you to join this celebration!
We will walk around the city center, talk about New Year's traditions, find out how the New Year Tree differs from the Christmas Tree, and Santa Claus from Santa Claus, where the Old New Year came from, and recall New Year's tales and Christmas stories. We will stop at the most beautiful places where fantastic light compositions are created - at the Admiralty and at the Winter Palace. We will play Christmas games and definitely take a walk along the Palace Square to the main Christmas Tree of St. Petersburg, if desired, we will look into one of the Cathedrals and admire the Christmas Nativity Scene, stroll along the light alley on Malaya Konyushennaya and along the sparkling lights of Nevsky Prospekt. Let's take a look at the Christmas Market and talk about Christmas toys. And of course, what a Christmas Eve without fortune-telling and carols!
