On our tour we visit the main architectural ensembles such as the Palace Square and Alexander’s Column, the Senate Square and the Bronze Horseman, buildings of Senate and Synod, St. Isaac’s Square with St. Isaac’s Cathedral and monument to Nicholas I, Mariinsky Palace, the Rostral Columns and the former Stock Exchange on the Spit (Strelka) offering a marvellous view of the Peter and Paul Fortress, the Hermitage, the numerous bridges and granite clad embankments criss crossing the city in many directions.
The tour continues to the Field of Mars, along the Summer Garden with the austere beauty of its wrought-iron fence and then to the airy ensemble of the Smolny Cathedral. An unforgettable experience is a drive along Nevsky Prospect, the main thoroughfare, which is lined with innumerable historical buildings, palaces and cathedrals. You will be returned to your hotel at the completion of the tour.
