Scenic Evening Neva River Cruise (Visa Included)

St. Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It looks completely different from water, and a river cruise will show you parts of the city which are missed during a general city tour. The city is situated on 42 islands, being washed by more than 90 rivers, Neva’s arms and channels. The granite embankments with slopes and piers have become peculiar pedestals for the magnificent palaces. This tour is a nice possibility for tourists to just relax and enjoy the sights from the boat and learn more about the city.

Meet your guide in the cruise port and hop on your coach that will bring you to the pier in the city centre, where you will start your journey. During your river cruise, you will gain a different perspective of the city. Your guide will accompany you and provide narration at points of interest. Enjoy this leisurely ride, uninterrupted by traffic jams.

You will have a boat ride through the most remarkable sites of St. Petersburg. Founded by Peter the Great on the 27th of May, 1703, the city was the capital of the Russian Empire for more than two hundred years (1713–1728, 1732–1918). Saint Petersburg ceased being the capital in 1918 after the Russian Revolution of 1917. It is Russia's second largest and Europe's fourth largest city after Moscow, London and Istanbul. The city has about 5 million inhabitants, and over 7 million people live in its vicinity. Saint Petersburg is a major European cultural centre, and an important Russian port on the Baltic Sea.

Saint Petersburg is often described as the most Western city of Russia. Among cities of the world with over one million people, Saint Petersburg is the northernmost. The Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments constitute a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Russia's political and cultural center for 200 years, the city is sometimes referred to in Russia as the northern capital.
