During a 2-hours walking tour around St. Petersburg city center you will see the city’s most famous places. The tour starts in Nevsky Prospekt, the city’s main thoroughfare, where the largest department stores — the Gostiny Dvor and the Passage — are located, as well as the House of Books — the city’s largest book store, a number of famous palaces, including the Stroganov Palace, and, of course, the Admiralty — the first shipyard to operate in St. Petersburg.

You will visit the city’s main squares:

• Palace Square. The ensemble of Palace square is formed by three buildings: the WinterPalace, part of the Hermitage museum, the General Staff Headquarters building with its Triumphal Arch, the Guards Corps Headquarters building and the Alexander Column. This is one of the city’s most striking places, located right in the heart of St. Petersburg.
• Senate Square (Decembrists Square) features a famous monument, erected to commemorate the memory of Peter I, the founder of St. Petersburg, nicknamed The Bronze Horseman. The ensemble of this square would not be complete without the building of the Senate and the Synod, where the Russian Constitutional Court is now located.
• The ensemble of St. Isaac's Square with its majestic St. Isaac's Cathedral, the bronze monument to Nicholas I, the elegant the Mariinsky Palace, where the Legislative Assembly is now located, and a number of former palaces constructed in the late XIX century, will provide amazing views.

Then you will walk along the Palace Embankment, with its vast panorama of the city’s center. From the embankment’s view point one can clearly see the Spit of Vasilievsky Island with its Rostral Columns, the building of the former Stock Exchange, and the HareIsland, on which St. Peter and Paul Fortress is located. From that very place the construction of St. Petersburg began, when Tsar Peter the Great laid the first stone in the foundation of the fortress. The spire of St. Peter and Paul Cathedral with an angel on top, which rises above the walls of the Fortress, is one of the city’s symbols.

At the end of the tour you will see the Field of Mars, where military holidays and parades were held, the MikhailovskyCastle and the MarblePalace.
