The Neva River cruise: comfortable two-deck boat will take you down along the River Neva through the city's historical centre.
From the side of the boat, "majestic" St. Petersburg appears "on its granite pedestal" from an unusual perspective: Palace Embankment with its "parade of palaces", where the Hermitage and the Winter Palace inevitably stand out; St. Petersburg's earliest building, Peter and Paul Fortress, the Summer Garden with its famous railings, which have been called "the eighth wonderof the world" and Smolny Cathedral.
Then you will make a sharp U-turn and sail up the river passing by the Strelka of Vasilyevsky Island, the “Bronze Horseman", the Menshikov Palace.
You will also see St. Isaac's Cathedral, the Admiralty and Senate Buildings, University Embankment (where all the buildings have survived since the 18-th century), the Kunstkamera, the Academy of Sciences, the Petrovsky Colleges (now St. Petersburg University), the Menshikov Palace and the Academy of Arts.
