Saint Petersburg in 1 day

On May 27, 1703, Peter I laid the first stone in the foundation of the Peter and Paul Fortress, which marked the birth of a new city - Saint Petersburg. Therefore, it will be quite symbolic to start your route from here. Next, we go to Vasilievsky Island, where we will see the Rostral Columns, which in the 19th century served as lanterns for passing ships. It is very crowded here at any time of year, but this is a place that will not leave you indifferent. Then, across the Palace Bridge, you cross the Neva and find yourself near Palace Square. The ensemble of Palace Square consists of the Winter Palace, the General Staff Building, and the Alexander Column. To continue exploring the city, you can choose several directions. You can go out to Admiralty Embankment and walk past the lions at the Palace Pier to the Bronze Horseman. There you will have a view of St. Isaac's Cathedral. On the other side of St. Isaac's Cathedral stands another monument to Nicholas I. Next, after looking at the significant sights, you go to Nevsky Prospect. This street is rightly considered a legend of the city. The architecture of Nevsky Prospect is mostly rental houses. Houses built by wealthy people for rent. On Nevsky Prospect, you will find numerous cafes and restaurants where you can have a snack. Different cuisines for every taste, all for impressive tourists! Walking along Nevsky Prospect, first on the right side and then on the left side, you will see two important city cathedrals - the Kazan Cathedral and the Church of the Savior on Blood. Strolling through the small streets, you will reach the last point of the route - the Summer Garden. Walking through it and seeing the beautiful monuments is a great way to end the route.
