Sightseeing tour of Saint Petersburg with a visit to the Mikhailovsky Castle

From 6000 ₽

Petersburg captivates at first sight.

In daylight, its imperial grandeur, clarity of lines, and architectural majesty unfold in full. The sun plays on gilded domes, reflects in the granite of embankments, and reveals every detail of magnificent facades. Streets, avenues, and squares literally breathe history and invite you to explore their remarkable past.

On this tour, you will see the main architectural landmarks of the historic center: the austere Kazan Cathedral, the monumental St. Isaac's and the elegant Smolny, admire palaces, bridges, and monuments, learn how Petersburg was formed, and about the great figures whose destinies are inextricably linked with the Northern capital. Together, we will dive into the events that unfolded here and changed the course of Russian history.

The culmination of the program will be a tour of the famous and mysterious Mikhailovsky Castle. You will see its impregnable walls from the outside, go inside to immerse yourself in the era and the tragic fate of its owner — Emperor Paul I, walk through the ceremonial halls and chambers, feel the spirit of romantic chivalry and the dark secrets shrouding this place.
