In comparison to other European and Russian cities, St Petersburg is relatively young, spanning a history of just over 300 years. But regardless of its age, St Petersburg has so many historical sites to offer that it is often referred to as a city-museum. On our city highlights tour, you will see the best of St Petersburg — the most beautiful and historically important places and observe how the city goes about its day.
Itinerary:
- Meet your guide at the reception of your hotel at the agreed pick-up time.
- Among your stops will be the Peter and Paul Fortress and Peter and Paul Cathedral – a spot, from which the construction of this marvellous city began in 1703. Within a few years, Peter the Great made it the capital of the Russian Empire. The cathedral is now the final resting place of Russian Emperors and members of the imperial Romanov family.
- The St Petersburg Highlights Tour also includes a visit inside the Cathedral of Our Saviour on Spilled Blood, which was built on the spot of the assassination of Emperor Alexander II and is a unique example of a building completely decorated in mosaics.
- You will also see St Isaac’s Cathedral — the third largest domed cathedral in Europe. It took 40 years to build and your guide will tell you about the cathedral’s design and construction which was supervised by three emperors.
