going to this time i mean what they're now peter the great had tens of thousands of soldiers you know build all the canals and waterways in the city what you think his what's been his purpose was his purpose they were as a quest to make a piece of rationale like being a piece of hero and a scientist virgie's i guess they don't want to really be embraced clear i mean i think you can walk around some parts of the city and it looks like paris or you know you could be in most cities you know they're down with something like it but they also join the summer you know a boat trip is a fantastic way to see parts of st petersburg not just in the city but you've got you've got these walls as well and you've got you know actual tour of the fortress behind those a.o.l. flyers and like i guess that this is their kind of story stick speciality centers very plenty of time to see this t.v. from the weather and like almost the whole season from that what they're yeah it's not like maybe in budapest or in paris somewhere in the you can see they're like the center and other places you will see like every meal tents and so on but yet everywhere if you do it by my boat by ferry you will see amazing amazing pieces of

why some petersburg was given the name the face off in the. wild this is just brilliant on the architecture here in st petersburg is just divine you can see the lovely hermitage behind us but he found say a private boat sold well there are various companies in the city hall for trips around the never river and the canals the size of boat what does it depend on the party size they charge by the hour many will include a guided tour for. st petersburg was an incredible city throw in the spectacular architecture museums styling history and all reflecting in the trucking waters if needed is like something out of a fairy tale. having survived a tumultuous history and having changed names several times in really is a cold city of growth and development things here are only getting better and with around four thousand outstanding individual monuments of architecture history and culture the rush is window to the west remains one of the world's most
