in various crisscrossed by canals. to recreate the whole atmosphere of they like the venice of the north as they call centers for it i think it's just amazing you can take a party boat down the river and they can all spend the night silence for a nice and if you want to feel a bit more to do something more special you can actually order about various out just for friends and go out there and eat and drink and have a good time and still hear the seller or should prevail in golf. what. it. meant to. do with the canal is one of the most poetic coolest alonso piece but it was described as a mysterious famous queen of space novel it was a popular meeting place columbus the area is especially lovely when seen from the

a single room to shock the senses. it's a maritime color experience you fancy then look no further respects particular structure floating on the north shore of the never river is located near the peter and paul fortress often mistaken for the old deserted pirate ship instead the wooden ship offers the perfect place to relax next to the commonwealth's is. next up with iraq. three cheers for the flying as it is in english i randomly and this is a high end restaurant. added. harris here is just beautiful as impressive views of the never river and i have a thought and the one thing i would recommend is outside here throughout the pits they speak. with a top floor restaurant and dance floor downstairs venue is popular with

a large party groups and also all your enjoyment when i burn off you will deny in the gym of the toll it can give you a make over. so what other water clean places can you visit in st petersburg one of the historical symbols of russia's military fleet has been turned into a museum in stands proudly anchored to the city's central improvements the overall recruits there is one to be associated with the revolution of nine hundred seventeen another warship is beset by thousands of tourists every year. is seeming with the first to raise the recommenced like on the ship standing for the bullshit power of the cruise itself as witnessed many battles before i think one of the main military ships of the baltic fleet. when the weather was hot and sunny there are many places in the city where you can enjoy peaceful sights of downtown st petersburg while some day going on to some of the territory where the

walls of the famous peace employ fortresses a popular dissemination of those with craving some some dating and speech time it's not recommended to swim in the waters of the river but it's still a perfect place to enjoy the show to tease delightfully bold in the beautiful historical surroundings. the true bridges of st petersburg one of the main attractions in the city especially during the white night period. there are around twenty bridges across the never liver which are raised during the night you could watch a lot of ships. cruise line is. the spectacular racetrack she's thrilling views especially my child for tourists we just make today is a must see. must be one must remember the times when the bridge is all green otherwise you're stuck on a different side of the city. and

why much period is the perfect time to visit mildred's capital you can stroll along the rivers late at night enjoying each one's in the buildings reflecting in the canals on the it's always wonderful to something much cooler about the city. to discuss the magic of simply describe the trees the streets. less eleven to me you can eat you know your originally from kid off where you've been living here for three years yeah exactly that you must see a huge difference in the city between the summer and the winds of the present sadly injuries cities like you know everybody's been everybody is on the look at their own shores and now is how much it's recommends that is really shining everybody's smiling trying to smile. yes that's it i think one of the main symbols of the summer all the canals and waterways in the river behind us they really you know make the city come alive yells price and what it's really what what makes sense to

just very special place because it's right that is us and our friends i have also read this corner then your heart here as for the buffalo like on the one hand it's it pride of kind of historic post up on the other hand disliking to this and i mean what. well peter the great had tens of thousands of soldiers you know build all the canals and waterways in the city what you think his one thing is this was his purpose it was a quest to make any sense rationale like be in ibiza here up as a sun because birthdays i guess they don't want european place. i mean i think you can walk around some parts of the city and it looks like. so you know you could be in most cities you know if there was something like that but they also during the summer you know a boat trip is a fantastic way to see pauses in petersburg not just in the city but you've got you've got people off as well and you've got you know actual tour of the fortress behind as they all fires and like i guess that this is the kind of artistic speciality just and you just heard plan you're going to see the cd from the weather and like almost a house you get from that water yeah it's not like maybe in budapest or in paris

you see the city from the drug scandals originally there were no bridges crossing the mighty never refer to the two story between firing spikes those were the main reasons why some people believe this given the name of the british company. this is just brilliant on the architecture here in st petersburg is just divine you can see the lovely home which was behind us but you found see a private boat told well there are various companies in the city go off to trips around the never river and the canals the size of bodies will depend on your party size and charge by the hour many will include god to tell you. st petersburg more of an incredible city during the spectacular architecture museums still in history i don't reflecting in the shopping mall says it really is like something out of the fairy tale. having survived to to most miss history and having changed names several times in really as a coastal city of growth and development things here only getting better
