Stop At: Mini-City, Aleksandrovskiy Park, 5B, St. Petersburg 197046 Russia

In the city's ongoing efforts to enliven their parks and make them pretty, happy, family-friendly places to spend the day, they've added replicas of many of St. Petersburg landmarks including the Peter and Paul Fortress, the Hermitage, the Church on the Spilled Blood and more to the massive park outside of Gorkovskaya metro station and Peter and Paul Fortress. The park already boasts some of the neatest landscaping in the city, lots of shaded areas and well-maintained footpaths, plus the Leningrad zoo and planetarium. Perfect for a romantic stroll or a place to let the little ones run some energy off.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Peter and Paul Fortress, Petropavlovskaya Fortress, 3, St. Petersburg 197022 Russia

As the major highlight of this tour, you will visit Peter and Paul Fortress and Peter and Paul Cathedral.

The citadel built to defend the city from sea attacks was never actually used this way. However, Russian Tsars and later Bolsheviks found it handy to keep their political rivals out of the way there.

Today, the Fortress serves as an imperial tomb. The last resting place of every Russian ruler starting from Peter the Great to Alexander III is at the base of its elegant spire. In 1998 the remains of Nicholas II and his family were also moved here to join the remains of their royal ancestors. This area of the Fortress is a sombre place of reverence and memory for the many histories and world-changing events that these rulers initiated.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
