-City tour. During a city tour around Saint Petersburg, you will see the most beautiful and well-known places in the city. You will stroll along the first and main street of Saint Petersburg – Nevsky Prospect – See 'Gostiny Dvor' and 'Dom Knigi', the Stroganov Palace, and of course, the Admiralty building – the first shipping yard of Saint Petersburg- the beginning of Nevsky Prospect.
You will visit the main squares of the city: The Palace Square, the Senate Square, Saint Isaac's Square. Last but not least you will see the Spit of Vasilyevsky Island, a place, from which you can see a vast and magnificent panorama of the center of Saint Petersburg.
-The Peterhof Museum Complex (May-September)
This is one of the most popular museums not only in Russia, but in the world. Peter the Great planned Peterhof as the residence of a sea king. This was to be his incarnation of Russia as a great European power, with a foothold on the shores of the world's oceans, capable of competing with the finest Western courts — above all, with Versailles. The Peterhof Museum Complex is rightfully regarded as the "capital of fountains." Included in the state register of most valuable cultural objects of the Russian Federation, Peterhof now bears the proud title of one of the "Seven Wonders of Russia."
You will visit the largest of Peterhof's palaces- The Grand Palace. The palace-ensemble is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
