BASIC KIT (2 days)
Saint-Petersburg is the heart of Russian culture;
a city of palaces, channels, drawbridges and
beauty, impacted by great empires, revolutions
and World War II. It is a place that one needs to
see at least once in their life. You can feel the
spirit of this incredible city on the first day, but 24
hours wouldn’t be sufficient to learn its true
essences.
From the mysterious twilight of the White Nights
to world-beating opera and ballet productions on
magical summer nights, St. Petersburg charms
and entices in every season.
Having visited St. Petersburg once,
you will return again and again
Imperial Day
Includes
Peterhof
Palace + Fountains
BASIC KIT (2 days)
One of St. Petersburg's most famous and
popular visitor attractions, the palace and park at
Peterhof (also known as Petrodvorets) are often
referred to as "the Russian Versaille", although
many visitors conclude that the comparison does
a disservice to the grandeur and scope of this
majestic estate.
Improvements to the park continued throughout
the 18th and 19th centuries. Catherine the Great,
after leaving her own mark on the park, moved
the court to Pushkin, but Peterhof once again
became the official Imperial Residence in the
reign of Nicholas I, who ordered the building of
the modest Cottage Palace in 1826.

Piskarevskii memorial
To you, our selfless defenders
Thankful Leningrad will always cherish your memory
Descendants will owe their lives to you
The heroes' eternal glory grows in the glory of their descendants.
To the victims of the Great War's blockade
Your heroic deed is eternal in hearts of generations to come
To the proud heroes of unending glory
Keep your life by the example of the fallen heroes.
by M.A. Dudin
The whole day is devoted to Soviet-era Saint
Petersburg (Leningrad), the most tragic period in the
city’s history, full of suffering and heroism. For
everyone who lives in St. Petersburg,
the Blokada (the Siege) of Leningrad is an important
part of the city's heritage and a painful memory for
the population's older generations.
Each day, every hour
I habitually follow in my thoughts,
Trying to guess from their number
The year which brings my death.
And where will fate send death to me?
In battle, in my travels, or on the seas?
Or will the neighbouring valley
Receive my chilled ashes?
And although to the senseless body
It is indifferent wherever it rots,
Yet close to my beloved countryside
I still would prefer to rest.
And let it be, beside the grave’s vault
That young life forever will be playing,
And impartial, indifferent nature
Eternally be shining in beauty.
-Aleksandr Serigeevich Pushkin
