Summer is a Wow in St. Petersburg. The white nights, the drawing bridges, the sun sparkling in Peterhof fountain jets...
During this 5 days tour you will see the Hermitage treasures and Amber room which is named "the eighth wonder of the world". In St.Isaac's cathedral you will admire its unique mosaics. In Usupov palace you will learn the "horror" story of life and death of Grigory Rasputin.
On Zayachy Island, along the banks of the Neva, stands the Peter and Paul Fortress — the very place where St. Petersburg began in 1703. At its heart is the majestic cathedral with a golden spire, the burial site of the Romanov dynasty. History echoes through these walls, once a prison for famous names, and lives on in every stone.
THE STATE HERMITAGE MUSEUM
The State Hermitage Museum is one of the world’s greatest art museums and the crown jewel of St. Petersburg. Founded by Catherine the Great in 1764, it now holds over 2.7 million treasures — from ancient Egyptian artifacts to masterpieces by Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Monet, Van Gogh, and Matisse. Every hall is a journey through centuries of world art and Russian history, all inside a palace of breathtaking beauty.
RIVERS AND CANALS CRUISE
A boat trip is a very pleasant, interesting and romantic way to explore the city. St. Petersburg is often called the Venice of the North. It lies astride 42 islands washed by 65 rivers and canals. You will go along the old canals, tiny rivers and under the bridges. You will discover completely different city and it will be easy to imagine yourself in the 18th - 19th century St. Petersburg, where canals and boats existed - busses did not.
ST. ISAAC'S CATHEDRAL
St. Isaac’s Cathedral is the grandest and most opulent church in St. Petersburg, crowned with a golden dome that glows above the city skyline. Its breathtaking interior features malachite and lapis lazuli columns, intricate mosaics, and over 100 types of stone. A masterpiece of architecture and art — it’s a must-see symbol of Russia’s imperial glory.
The St. Petersburg metro
The St. Petersburg metro is more than just transport — it's an underground palace. Its interiors feature marble, bronze, chandeliers, and mosaics worthy of a museum. One of the most beautiful and deepest metro systems in the world, it’s an adventure in itself!
Catherine Palace
Catherine Palace in Pushkin is a true gem of Russian baroque — grand, gilded, and unforgettable. Inside awaits the famous Amber Room, a dazzling masterpiece once called the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” Every hall, every detail here breathes history, splendor, and the legacy of the Romanovs.
The Amber Room
The Amber Room is the only hall in the world entirely decorated with amber, covering an area of about 100 m². Lost during World War II, it was meticulously reconstructed by Russian craftsmen in 2003 for the 300th anniversary of St. Petersburg. Over 6 tons of amber, gold, mirrors, and intricate carvings make this room a true gem of the Catherine Palace.
Pavlovsk Palace
Pavlovsk Palace is a hidden gem just 27 km from St. Petersburg — a neoclassical masterpiece surrounded by a vast English-style park with winding paths, sculptures, and quiet corners. Once the imperial family’s countryside retreat, today it welcomes over 1.5 million visitors a year. Pavlovsk is officially protected by the Russian state and UNESCO, making it a must-see for lovers of beauty and history.
SAVOUR ON THE BLOOD CATHEDRAL
The Church of the Savior on the Spilled Blood stands on the very spot where Emperor Alexander II was assassinated in 1881. Its vibrant domes and golden mosaics make it one of St. Petersburg’s most iconic and breathtaking landmarks. Inside, over 7,500 square meters of mosaics turn every wall and ceiling into a shimmering work of art.
The Yusupov Palace
The Yusupov Palace on the Moika River is one of the few places in St. Petersburg where the aristocratic life of the past truly comes alive. Lavish interiors, a unique 18th-century private theatre, and authentic princely chambers preserve the spirit of a bygone era. Each hall here feels like a page from the noble history of Russia.

faq: Saint Petersburg White Nights. What is it?
White Nights period is an atmospheric phenomenon. During this period the sun never fully sets and the sky stays bright throughout the night with a light similar to the light of sunset. White Nights can be experiences in many other cities in Russia, Sweden, Norway and Finland. But in St.Petersburg they are most spectacular and the city is often called as a city of “White Nights”.
Officially, this period lasts from June 11 to July 2, but in fact nights are very light here from the end of May until mid July. The pick of the White Nights falls after 20th of June. The peak of the White Nights falls on June 20-22, the eve of the summer solstice.
The city is famous for their drawbridges and White Nights are considered the most exciting time to see them. There are about 300 bridges in St. Petersburg, and 20 of them are drawbridges. Bridges start to open after the midnight according to schedule (one after another).
A night boat trip along the Neva is a good opportunity to look at the city from the water, go under the raised bridges, admire the architectural ensembles of the Neva river area.
