About this activity
Your guide will meet you at your hotel and and transport you by personal car to Dostoevsky places and reach the Haymarket Square, which is the area where all of the events in "Crime and Punishment" took place.

The St. Petersburg of Dostoevsky, known as the lower city of light (as opposed to the high society of Tolstoy and Pushkin), is considered the bottom of the town inhabited by "little people" and "loathsome creatures." This town is gloomy, desolate and sick. It was dominated by pale yellow. Does the city, as seen through a thick layer of dust on long-unwashed windows of St. Petersburg, still exist?

Dostoevsky lived in St. Petersburg a total of about 28 years, constantly changing removable apartment addresses. The living space in the area of Forge Lane, which is the last refuge of the writer, is now a museum dedicated to him (5/2 house) and the Haymarket Square area.

The F.M. Dostoevsky Literary Memorial Museum, as well as the Tikhvin Cemetery at the Alexander Nevsky Monastery, are included in the tour.

Your tour ends in the St. Petersburg City Centre.
