Panoramic tour of St. Petersburg with a visit to the Hermitage

This is the perfect day for your first introduction to the Northern Capital!

A rich itinerary combines two key themes: the grandeur of imperial architecture under the open sky and the treasures of world art in the country's main museum. We will journey from magnificent ensembles to priceless masterpieces.

Part 1: Sightseeing tour of the historic center. In comfortable transport, we will ride along famous avenues and embankments, making detailed stops at the city's main symbols so you can feel their scale and hear their stories:

Cruiser "Aurora": A legendary symbol of Russian history. We will learn not only about its revolutionary fame but also about the real combat biography of this unique museum ship.

St. Isaac's Square: A majestic architectural ensemble with the grand St. Isaac's Cathedral. You will see the Bronze Horseman from an unusual angle and learn how this "golden" silhouette of Petersburg was created.

Church of the Resurrection of Christ (Savior on Spilled Blood): A bright, festive gem of Russian architecture. The story of its creation, linked to tragic events, and its incredible mosaic decoration will not leave you indifferent.

Peter and Paul Fortress: The cradle of St. Petersburg. We will enter the territory to stroll along the mighty bastions, see the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul - the imperial burial vault with the tallest spire in the city - and feel the spirit of the very beginning of a great history.

Immersion in the treasure trove of art - The State Hermitage Museum. After a short break, we will head to one of the greatest museums in the world. Our 2-hour sightseeing tour of the Hermitage will allow you not to get lost in the endless halls and focus on the most important things:

You will walk through the grand enfilade of the Winter Palace: the Jordan Staircase, the Grand Throne (St. George's) Hall, the Gallery of 1812 - to feel the power and brilliance of the Russian Empire.

You will see the pearls of world painting: legendary works by Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Titian, Rembrandt, and other great masters.

You will learn fascinating stories about how these unique collections were formed and how Russian emperors lived within the walls of their main residence.
