It's an affordable and romantic option that allows you to enjoy each other's company and the beauty of St.โฆ
- Start your day by meeting at Strelka, with a panoramic view of the river and the Peter and Paul Fortress. Walk along the embankment, enjoying the stunning architecture of the city. After a long walk, fill up with energy in one of the small and cozy cafes near the river.
- Continue to the majestic Winter Palace, then to the Palace Square, where you can sit and chat, listening to the orchestras playing.
- As evening comes, walk along the Liteiny Bridge where you can see the whole panorama of St. Petersburg. Finish your romantic date by the Admiralty, where you can enjoy a beautiful sunset over Saint Petersburg.
Preparation steps:
- Dress comfortably for the walk. Given the unpredictable nature of St. Petersburg's weather, make sure to dress in layers and bring an umbrella just in case.
- Brush up on some history of St. Petersburg. Knowing a little bit about what you're seeing can enhance your appreciation of the city. Take a guide book with you or prepare a route using available online resources.
- Make sure your camera is charged. St. Petersburg's scenery is stunning and absolutely worth capturing. Also pack some snacks and a bottle of water to keep your energy levels up.
Some tips:
- Make sure to have some local currency on you in case you want to buy something from little shops or for a spontaneous coffee break.
- While walking along the Neva, keep an eye out for the small souvenir shops. They often have unique, locally made items that make great keepsakes.
- Resist the urge to rush the day. Take your time, pause often, and savor the breathtaking views and the company of your loved one. This is a date, not a race, after all.
