Excursions along the canals of St. Petersburg – an interesting and educational trip<\/em><\/p>
St. Petersburg is a city in Russia, ranking among the top tourist destinations. Every year, many guests arrive on tour packages to St. Petersburg from both Russia and CIS countries, as well as from far abroad. And there is a very simple explanation for this: St. Petersburg is a unique city with a large number of historical landmarks, features unique to it alone, and simply beautiful places.<\/p>
What to see?<\/p>
• Peter and Paul Fortress on Hare Island. The fortress is open daily, admission is free. Various exhibitions and museums operate on the island, and every day at 12.00 a single cannon shot is fired from the fortress.<\/p>
• From the Palace Embankment, where one of the piers is located, you can take a small boat to Peterhof. The residence of Russian emperors enchants with its palaces, fountains, and sculptures.<\/p>
• You can pay tribute to the fallen heroes of the 1917 revolution at the Field of Mars, near the Eternal Flame.<\/p>
• Very close to the Field of Mars is the famous Summer Garden with open-air sculptures and a pond where swans sometimes fly in.<\/p>
• The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is one of the most famous cathedrals in St. Petersburg, relatively recently freed from scaffolding. Also in St. Petersburg, you should definitely visit St. Isaac's Cathedral and Kazan Cathedral, the latter recently celebrated its 200th anniversary.<\/p>
• The famous Hermitage – a treasury of culture, the world's most famous museum complex, located in five buildings. Near the Hermitage there is also a pier with boats departing for Peterhof.<\/p>
• The Bronze Horseman, which has become a place of pilgrimage for almost all newlyweds in the city. Near the monument, the ZAGS No. 1 is very conveniently located.<\/p>
• Nevsky Prospect, bearing traces of several eras and generations. The combination of ancient palaces, museums, and theaters with modern buildings forming the city's business center is striking.<\/p>
• Drawbridges – do not miss the nightly event that has become practically a symbol of the city on the Neva. The bridges begin to be raised exactly at 1.00 AM; it is better to arrive a little earlier, as many people gather to see such a majestic spectacle.<\/p>
• The legendary cruiser Aurora with a museum on deck.<\/p>
• And, of course, one cannot ignore excursions along the St. Petersburg canals. A river tram, a high-speed boat, or a leisurely gliding comfortable yacht – you can choose any type of transport and will definitely get unforgettable pleasure from this unusual journey.<\/p>
