Day 2: St Petersburg
Good morning St Petersburg! Almost flamboyant St Petersburg is designed around a series of canals and rivers. Bereft of the Soviet breezeblock style architecture that characterises so many of Russia’s cities, the city is jam-packed with grandiose palaces and stately buildings. The world-famous Hermitage art collection at the Winter Palace remains St Pete’s top culture-vulture attraction. The palaces and stately homes of the aristocratic tsars, Tsarskoe Selo and Peterhof are also worth seeking out. Enjoy a guided tour of the city’s key areas, with the rest of the day to explore or chill-out. Buzzing with cafés, bars and restaurants, St Pete’s is renowned for it’s fine Baltika beer and unashamedly good vodka. Perhaps get your visit off to a celebratory start! Overnight - St Petersburg

Day 3: St Petersburg - breakfast
Free day to explore the city and surrounds. Most of the inner city sights are located on and just off the main thoroughfare Nevsky Prospekt that stretches for around 4 km from near the Winter Palace Embankment to Alexander Nevsky Monastery, so St Pete’s is good for walkers! Overnight - St Petersburg

Day 4: St Petersburg - breakfast
End of arrangements.
