Dress rehearsal of the Scarlet Sails 2026 in St. Petersburg: bus tour
From 4200 ₽
Tour to the dress rehearsal of the Scarlet Sails 2026
Tour to the dress rehearsal of the Scarlet Sails 2026 – a chance to see nighttime St. Petersburg in a particularly beautiful and festive atmosphere. During the trip, you will ride along the main avenues and squares of the cultural capital, see Kazan, St. Isaac's, and Smolny Cathedrals, palaces, bridges, and famous architectural ensembles illuminated at night.
The guide will introduce you to the history of St. Petersburg, telling about the great people and events that shaped the city's appearance. The highlight of the tour will be the dress rehearsal of the Scarlet Sails: you will have the opportunity to get off the bus and see from the embankment the passage of the legendary brig with scarlet sails, the light show, and the magic of one of the most anticipated events of summer.
Why choose this excursion?
The tour to the dress rehearsal of the Scarlet Sails is a unique opportunity to see one of St. Petersburg's most iconic events, which happens only once a year. Getting into the main celebration is nearly impossible: the best spots are taken by graduates, and access for tourists is limited. The rehearsal allows you to see the legendary brig with scarlet sails and the show in a more comfortable setting, without huge crowds.
