If you have 2 days to spend in this amazing city, why not tour with us for 2 days! There is so much to be seen in St Petersburg that we will still need to stick to its highlights only but of course you will see much more than during only 1 day. Our proposal for 2 days tour is following:
Day 1.
We will start with sightseeing the city center of St Petersburg. On our way will be Nevsky Prospect Street, Winter Palace of Peter the Great by Neva River, multidomed Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood, St Isaac’s Square, Bronze Horseman – most famous statue of Peter the Great and eastern tip of Vasilevsky Island called Strelka. We will also visit Peter and Paul Fortress.
Then we will go to the most famous museum of the city - State Heritage Museum and spend approx 2 hours for sightseeing its interiors and exhibitions. When we leave Hermitage, we will have a lunch break and after lunch we will walk along the main street of St Petersburg – Nevsky Prospect, maybe do some shopping there and admire again the city center.
Tour on this day lasts approx 8,5 hours
Day 2.
In the morning we will take a ride to Pushkin Town. On the way you will see suburbs of St Petersburg and how local people live. In Pushkin (former Tsarskoye Selo) we will admire sumptuous, Baroque Catherine Palace – once favourite country estate of the royal family. In the Palace you will visit famous Amber Room covered with gilded woodcarvings, mirrors, agate and jasper mosaics. We will also take a walk in lovely Catherine Park which extends around the Palace.
Afterwards we will drive to another heritage of Peter the Great – Peterhof Palaces and Parks, often called a “Russian Versailles”. Grand Peterhof Palace we will see only from the outside and we will focus on Peterhof Fountain Park. You will discover fabulous fountains here including Grand Cascade – symphony of over 140 fountains engineered in part by Peter himself. We will end up with a stroll along the Finnish Gulf with panoramic view over St Petersburg and go back to the center by Hydrofoil which enables quick and pleasant ride.

For those who want to see as much as possible and are not afraid of being tired, we can offer a bit longer version of this tour making the program more intensive.

On Day 2 we can add: visit inside the Grand Peterhof Palace and instead of coming back by Hydrofoil we can take a ride by St Petersburg’s subway.
Those changes will prolong whole tour of approx 5 hours total.
