When you plan to visit Russia, you will find that travel agency and Russian tour operators offer you many options to choose one of the Russia tour programs and enjoy your trip. That is due to a large number of tourist destinations in Russia and many tourist attractions in each of them. For example, St. Petersburg, Russia's cultural capital, is one of the most popular tourist destinations on the Russia tour, which is visited by millions of people every year. St. Petersburg alone can accommodate all the time during your travel to Russia. Still, tourists usually decide to visit St. Petersburg and at least one other tourist destination on their tour to Russia, which reduces your free time on the tour to St. Petersburg. Of course, choosing several destinations during a trip to Russia is a common and logical thing because there are so many tourist and historical attractions in this country that tourists should not miss the opportunity to visit if they have the chance. However, this style of travel to Russia misses the opportunity to see many tourist attractions that are less considered by travel agencies. One of the tourist attractions of the St. Petersburg tour, which is rarely visited by tourists during their Russia tour, is the parks and natural areas of St. Petersburg. By having many historical sites and museums to visit during the St. Petersburg tour program, the city's parks and natural areas are less popular with tourists during the Russia tour. Although tourists visit some of the city's gardens, there are more than enough of them that can take all your time during your travel to St. Petersburg. One of the parks that have been named the largest park in St. Petersburg in terms of area is the Maritime Victory Park on Krestovsky Island.
Krestovsky Island is one of St. Petersburg's five islands, which receives less attention from tourists of the tour to St. Petersburg than the other island. Of course, this is because there are fewer tourist attractions on this island than the other five. However, this island is one of the leading entertainment destinations in St. Petersburg for the people of St. Petersburg and locals. Still, for tourists of the tour to Russia, other islands' tourist attractions are much more than this island, so it is less visited by them. Although travel agencies do not include the island in their tour plans, there are still several tourist attractions on the island that attract some people who want to enjoy natural and refreshing places during their travel to St. Petersburg. For example, we can mention the largest park in St. Petersburg in terms of area, the Maritime Victory Park, and the city's largest amusement park.
Among the islands that are most popular with tourists touring St. Petersburg, we can mention Vasilyevsky Island, which hosts several of the most important tourist attractions in St. Petersburg and Yelagin Island. These two islands host several of St. Petersburg's top tourist attractions, which are of great interest to travel agencies and tourists of Russia tour. You can visit our blog for more information on the attractions you can see on these two islands. We have also introduced these two islands' lesser-known attractions so that nothing is left unsaid about these two famous places on the St. Petersburg tour. Strelka, for example, is one of the most famous and beautiful places in St. Petersburg on Vasilyevsky Island, which can be visited during the tour to St. Petersburg. We also have the Glass Art Museum on Yelagin Island, one of the famous museums in St. Petersburg.
Maritime Victory Park is the largest park in St. Petersburg, located on Krestovsky Island. The park was established in 1945 to commemorate the victory of Allied forces in World War II. From the very beginning, the park became one of the most popular recreational places in St. Petersburg. From the very beginning, Maritime Victory Park has become a great place to spend your leisure time. Skating and cycling trails have attracted young people to visit the park. The presence of two beautiful lakes on both sides of the park has turned this place into romantic strolls. Two of the Marine Victory Park features are the formal and beautiful gardens of this park, and the other is the Avenue of Friendship of Cities. This avenue is a place where since 1966, different representatives from all over the world have planted different plants and trees and the name of each country, and the representative who planted it has been installed next to them. This avenue was the Soviet government's attempt to gain global acceptance. Of course, apart from these two cases, the two main parts of the park should not be forgotten, one is the Krestovsky Stadium, and the other is the amusement park of the island. Each of these alone draws a large number of St. Petersburg residents to Krestovsky Island. However, some tourists are also motivated to visit the island during their St. Petersburg tour programs.
Of course, if you are interested in seeing St. Petersburg parks, there are several other parks in the city that you can visit during your tour to Russia. One of these parks is the Summer Garden, originally designed by Peter the Great. You can see this park, located in the historical center of St. Petersburg with your Russia tour group. The Mikhailovsky Garden is also located near the Summer Garden, another tourist destination during the St. Petersburg tour program for tourists. Besides the park inside the city, there are several beautiful places in St. Petersburg's suburban area, such as Peterhof, that you can visit during your tour to St. Petersburg. Those places are mostly included in the St. Petersburg tour program, but you can visit our blog at the Star Travel Group if you need to learn more about them.
Krestovsky Island, home to the Maritime Victory Park, is less popular with tourists of the tour to Russia than the other islands of St. Petersburg. Still, it has several tempting attractions that can be considered a tourist destination for people who travel to St. Petersburg; you can learn about those attractions on our weblog. We have also provided information about the Russia tour and tips and advice on traveling to Russia, which can be very useful for tourists.
