The tour called “The City on the Neva River” leaves from the Hermitage pier at Dvortsovaya Naberezhnaya (Embankment). The tour, which lasts about 1 hour, lets one understand why Peter the Great wanted the Neva River to be “the main street” of his beloved city. A comfortable two-deck boat will take you down the river to St. Isaac’s Cathedral, the “Bronze Horseman”, the Menshikov Palace and the University.

Then you will make a sharp U-turn and sail up the river passing by the Strelka of Vasilyevsky Island, the Winter Palace and the Peter and Paul Fortress en route. Upon reaching the spectacular Bolsheokhtinsky Bridge you will return to the Hermitage.
