The Route
STOCKHOLM • HELSINKI • ST PETERSBURG • HELSINKI
St Petersburg
St Petersburg is a former Russian capital and a stunning city, crowded with splendid palaces, impressive historical monuments, wide boulevards, beautiful bridges and is renowned as the Ballet Capital of the World.
Stockholm
Stockholm – “beauty on the water” how the locals call this picturesque city. Spread across 14 islands connected by 57 bridges Stockholm has lots to offer. Historic sites, beautiful buildings, outstanding restaurants and natural beauty it is all Stockholm. Don’t miss a chance to wonder around Old Town, see Vasa battleship – the most visited museum in Sweden and of course The Royal Palace – the jewel of the city.
Tallinn
The capital of Estonia, Tallinn, is a perfect holiday destination which offers comforts of modern world, vibrant nightlife, rich cultural scene and stunning historical and modern architecture.
Peter & Paul Fortress
The first structure to be built in St. Petersburg, and thus the birthplace of the city, it never served its intended defensive function. Instead it has had a rich, hugely varied, and sometimes sinister history as a military base, a home of government departments, the burial ground of the Russian Imperial family, the site of groundbreaking scientific experiments, and a forbidding jail that held some of Russia's most prominent political prisoners.
Hermitage
Lose yourself amongst the treasures of one of Russia’s best known sights and arguably the largest collection of fine art in the world. Masterpieces from artists such as Da Vinci, Rembrandt and Kandinsky make the Hermitage an unforgettable visit.
Peterhof
Known as the “Russian Versailles”, Peterhof Palace and Park is a must see at any time of the year. Famous for its myriad of fountains, the grounds of the palace become a haven for tourists in the peak summer months. Look out for the ‘Joke Fountains’ – if you step on the wrong paving stone, you will get wet! If you’re not travelling in the summer, never fear; the parks foliage is beautiful in the autumn and the grounds transform into a striking crystallised wonderland during winter months so there’s never a wrong time to visit.
