Description

Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 2 hours
* We invite you to touch the traditions of St. Petersburg and take a boat trip on the "Midday Shot at the Peter and Paul Fortress". The city traditions are carefully preserved in St. Petersburg. One of the most important and beloved traditions in our city is the ceremony of the noon shot in the Peter and Paul Fortress. This significant tradition is even reflected in the city charter. There are howitzer cannons in the Peter and Paul Fortress, which are fired from these guns. At exactly 12:00 p.m., under the guidance of the gunner, the traditional volley of guns will be fired — the cannon will fire, and each of the travelers will "check his watch" — this is the tradition in St. Petersburg! This ritual is performed daily — the guns in the fortress are fired at exactly 12 o'clock in the afternoon. Our tour is accompanied by an interesting audio guide and follows the most popular route — along the rivers and canals of the central part of St. Petersburg: departure takes place from the pier on Fontanka River embankment, then the Fontanka River, Kryukov Canal, Moika River, Winter Groove, Bolshaya Neva River — Fontanka River. Departure is daily at 11:00. The duration of the walk is 1 hour and 30 minutes. Sometimes the water level in the rivers and canals of St. Petersburg rises too high for safe navigation. In this case, we are forced to change the route of the ship. The duration of the tour does not change.
