Description:

Explore historic St. Petersburg, also referred to as the “Venice of the North”, and its many facets with the help of an expert local guide on this walking tour. Discover the best of this Russian city through its spectacular architecture, impressive landmarks, and traditional food.

Meet your guide in Palace Square and stop to marvel at the grand Winter Palace, the former residency of the Russian monarchs. Then, head across the Neva River to a little-known panorama spot to enjoy spectacular views of the Palace Embankment and St. Issac’s Cathedral.

Next, make your way to the Peter and Paul Fortress, the city's oldest structure and burial place of many Russian emperors. Continue on to the domed towers of the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood—the massive cathedral built on the site of Alexander II’s assassination.

Walk along the city’s busiest street, Nevsky Prospect, while your guide gives you an insider's view on local life. Arrive at Stroganoff Palace—where the famed beef stroganoff was invented—and stop at a nearby local fast food shop, where you can try a traditional Russian lunch, like borscht or that aforementioned stroganoff.

Finish the tour in front of the breathtaking golden dome of St. Issac’s Cathedral as your guide leaves you to continue your day of exploration.
