Discovering Petersburg: Unforgettable Routes to the Heart of the City

A walk you’ll want to tell others about!

See St. Petersburg differently with Yaroslava Plotnikova—one of the city’s most prominent guides and an ambassador for Russia’s domestic tourism. This guidebook features 7 original routes: each one reveals the Northern capital from an unexpected angle. Grand entrance halls and secluded courtyards, ballerinas and empresses, streets with the taste of champagne and the scent of a 19th-century bakery—together, they form a living story of the city.

In the book you will find:
• Fascinating details about how a day for a future student of a ballet school was arranged.
• The most interesting things about breakfasts in a fashionable 19th-century restaurant.
• Places where the true symbols of St. Petersburg are hidden—from mythical creatures to playful shop windows.
• Stories and legends about where the name of the Kissing Bridge comes from.
• The exact address of that Pharmacy from Alexander Blok’s poem.

Plus, engaging quests and assignments.
