Private St. Petersbburg Tour: Empire style capital |
|
Palace, Admiralty and Senate square with visit of St. Isaac Cathedral and Hermitage |
|
|
rating:   view
|
|
|
Enjoy a beautiful ensemble of three major city squares, which are located back to back to each other, it is the only "block of squares" in the world. Have a walk with me along the adjacent streets including Nevskii prospect and see how they radiate from the focal point of Admiralty.
You will not only see every major Empire style official building, such as Admiralty and St. Isaac cathedral, but will learn the stories of their construction, including their earlier previous versions. By "peeling off" different layers of each historical building you see how they were gradually constructed to play their unique part in perfect harmony of a complete ensemble. Find out who built this spectacular ensemble, for whom it was built and under what circumstances, only then you'd be able not only look at it, but really see it.
And if that's not enough, see it all from the bird's view of the top of the colonnade of St. Isaac's, the third biggest cathedral in Europe. |
