CITY TOUR with visit to SUMMER GARDEN and SUMMER PALACE of Peter the Great  

During this guided city tour you will be walking through the city center of St. Petersburg. During this excursion you'll get an excellent sight of the history, architecture and main landmarks of the city.
First, walk along Nevsky Prospect (main avenue of the city). Cross the Anichkov Bridge famous for its four equestrian statues. Walk along the Fontanka river embankment and have a short stop to see the statue of “Chizhik Pyzhik” and hear the story of this curious little bird. Pass the Mikhailovsky (Engineering) Castle – a former residence of the Emperor Paul I. Walk through Mikhailovsky garden towards The Church of the Saviour on the Spilt Blood (the monument of Russian Orthodox architecture built on the spot where the tsar Alexander II was assassinated). Walk across Konushennaya Square, go along the Moika river embankment and all the way to the Palace Square with its Triumphal Arch and the Winter Palace facing each other and the Alexander Column in the middle. Walk along Nevsky and see the Stroganov palace, Kazan Cathedral, Gostiny Dvor and other places of interest.
You will be taken to admire the triumphal beauty of the Summer Garden. It was founded in 1704 by order of Peter the Great, who was personally involved in planning it, and is laid out according to strict geometrical principles. The Summer Garden is home to marble statues acquired from Europe especially for Russia's new capital, and also fountains. It was a traditional location for courtly life outside the palace, and balls were held here by the nobility, who also enjoyed simply taking the air in the Garden. You will be able to take a closer view of Peter the Great's first Summer Palace located in the Summer Garden, that was built by the great Italian architect Domenico Trezzini and still there today. This Summer Palace - a two-storey Dutch-style affair with a high roof and comparatively modest interior - was one of St. Petersburg's first stone palaces. Its original interiors have been preserve to this day.
At the end of the tour, the guide will walk you back to the hotel.

GUIDED TOUR to the HERMITAGE MUSEUM 

Today you will have a chance to spend the day at the State Hermitage Museum. You will be introduced to the main rooms and expositions of the largest museum of Russia and one of the most significant museums of the world. At present the museum occupies five buildings: the Winter Palace, the Small Hermitage, the Old Hermitage, the New Hermitage and the Hermitage Theatre. Besides the huge collection of paintings, the museum also acquired collections of prints and drawings, classical antiquities, objects of Western European applied art, weapons, coins, medals and books (Voltaire’s library). In the 19th century the Hermitage began to receive archaeological artefacts which, among other things, formed the nucleus of the celebrated collection of Scythian gold. At the Hermitage you can explore the art of Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Classical Greece and its colonies in the northern Black Sea area. You can also examine the culture of the Etruscans and the primitive tribes of Siberia, as well as see Egyptian mummies, antique pottery, Tanagra statuary and much more. The interiors of the Winter Palace are among the masterpieces of baroque. Apparently, it would take a visitor almost 15 years to appreciate all the treasures the museum houses. That is if one stays at the museum 8 hours a day spending one minute examining each exhibit.
