In St. Petersburg, I dreamed of visiting since childhood, when I first found a small book "Hermitage" in the home library, in which all the halls of the famous Winter Palace in St. Petersburg were presented in all its glory. After that, I often loved to ask my mother, once in the student years we were in the northern capital of Russia, if she liked her in St. Petersburg and would like to return there to her. After about 4 years, the parents pleased us with the sister in that we are going for 12 days in St. Petersburg on a ticket, in the program of which included visits to a set of interesting and attractions of this amazing city.
Our hotel was a bit far from the historic center of the city, but the bus could be reached in 40 minutes, and on the metro in just 10 minutes. We visited the Hermitage, the excursion to which took about half a day, because the number of rooms here is just huge, and if you wish to consider every exhibit in detail, then for this you will not have enough and a whole month.
The well-known Nevsky Prospect and Palace Embankment are considered the most favorite destination near tourists and townspeople, which offers a beautiful view of the Neva River and the neighborhood of the city. At all. All major attractions are located in close proximity to each other, so you may not doubt that in 10-12 days I will fully familiarize yourself with the most interesting places in the city.
St. Isaac's Cathedral, the Temple of Savior on-Blood, Russian Museum, Petropavlovsk Fortress, Arrow of Vasilyevsky Island, deserve attention to attention. In general, it is best to buy a ticket for a river walk through the Neva (if you relax in the city in the summer), where you will hear the history of St. Petersburg and you can enjoy you by beauty.
In addition, it is worth a night walk in Peter, because you can see the divorce of bridges only in this city, and they are bred around at 23.00.
The program of our tour also included a visit to Kronstadt, Peterhof and the Tsarskoye village,
Where you can see the magnificent palaces of royal people, as well as make a lot of bright pictures against the backdrop of palace and park ensembles and port in Kronstadt.
