Second day

At the Egyptian Sphinxes on the University Embankment we will make a wish, on the Spit of Vasilyevsky Island we will organize an unforgettable photo shoot, at the cruiser "Aurora" we will mentally fire from the cannon, and finally, we will arrive to the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood and we will decide there-and-then who wants to visit it (for an additional payment) and who wants to have a rest enjoying a coffee. Those who don’t want to visit the museum, will have half an hour break.

We will take an honorary lap around the Palace Square, and of course, delightful photos.

Then we have a guided tour in the Hermitage where we will show you the most beautiful rooms and magnificent, the most famous pieces of art.

After that we will have free time for lunch and will continue our acquaintance to St. Petersburg.

The Admiralty building, the Bronze Horseman, St. Isaac's Square and superb St. Isaac's Cathedral, all this boggles the mind so much that your camera itself will take one picture after another without stopping!

We will pass the Theatre Square by, and see the famous Mariinsky Opera and Ballet House in front of us. Just around the corner the Grand Choral Synagogue – the most hospitable place of St. Petersburg – is situated. Of course, we will visit the Synagogue.
