By the way, it is better to book a room in a hotel in advance, as two-room suites (luxury and semi-luxury) are taken quickly. So, let's start our tour of the most romantic places in the city on the Neva.
The very first thing to visit in St. Petersburg is the Kisses Bridge. It is located at Glinka Street, 1. If traveling by metro, you need to get off at Sadovaya station. It is on this bridge that young St. Petersburg residents make dates and hold romantic meetings. This bridge connects the Kazansky and the second Admiralteisky bridges. According to an old legend, it was at this spot that people bid farewell to those leaving St. Petersburg. The name of the bridge does not come from the established tradition of kissing on it, but from the name of the merchant Potseluev, who kept a tavern nearby called 'Kiss!'. Newlyweds always walk or drive across this bridge on their wedding day; this promises a long, strong, and happy family life.
St. Nicholas Naval Cathedral on St. Nicholas Square is another romantic spot. Young people often meet on St. Nicholas Square and admire the bell tower of the naval cathedral with its spire, wrought iron antique balcony railings, majestic columns, and other architectural elements of that time. You can get there by taking the metro to Sadovaya Street and crossing the Griboyedov Canal.
In St. Petersburg there is also an entire street rich in romantic places, highly revered by local couples in love. This is Sadovaya Street. Here you can find totem monuments (looking at which you need to make a wish that will definitely come true), and a pedestrian lane with a cascade of fountains, where tourists love to take photos. Nearby are small sculptures - the Cat Elisey and the Cat Elizaveta. This is a favorite spot for all students and newlyweds.
You can end your walk at one of St. Petersburg's entertainment venues. A glass of wine with good music and a conversation with your loved one, or a delicious dish from any world cuisine (St. Petersburg has restaurants from all over the world) – what could be better? Then you can head to one of the city's hotels. Double rooms in a hotel will perfectly serve as a cozy family nest for a young couple.
