St. Petersburg is one of the top tourist-destination cities of Russia; the museums, the culture, and art that runs through every inch of the city are enchanting. Saint Petersburg is one of those cities that everyone would enjoy visiting because it can satisfy every desire; it doesn’t matter if you’re young or old, alone or with family, or on a romantic trip, there’s always something exclusive waiting for you in St. Petersburg. While most tourists think that St. Petersburg is only an exceptional destination for people who admire architecture and museums, couples can also have a great time in the city, especially during the summer and White Nights Festival. We at the Star Travel Group have multiple recommendations for couples who want to spend some romantic time in St. Petersburg, which starts with the Colonnade of St. Isaac’s Cathedral.
Saint Isaac’s Colonnade
St. Isaac’s Cathedral alone is an architectural masterpiece, and its museum has a lot to offer, but we at the Star Travel Group recommend couples to buy the colonnade’s ticket, and see the real beauty of St. Petersburg from above. You can’t watch sunrise or sunset on the colonnade due the time of opening hours of the cathedral, but a 360° view over the city and its top attractions with your partner is a thing that you shouldn’t miss on your trip to St. Petersburg.
Rooftops of Historic Part of St. Petersburg
Unlike St. Isaac’s colonnade, there’s someplace romantic for couples to watch the sunsets and sunrises of St. Petersburg, and that’s the rooftops inside the historic district of the city. These rooftops are specially designed for this matter for families, friends, and couples would enjoy the nights of St. Petersburg together. We at the Star Travel Group recommend our travelers to watch the sunrise of St. Petersburg during the White Night Festival, you can either stay awake up late or get up early to see that beautiful phenomenon. The sun rises between 2:30 am 3:30 am during the White Nights Festival.
The Summer Garden
The Summer Garden is considered by many as one of the most beautiful and romantic places of St. Petersburg, especially during summers. This beautiful garden locates near the St. Michael’s Castle and the Field of Mars, and the nearest metro station to this garden is the Gostiny Dvor station. The Summer Garden is full of beautiful sculptures, fountains, and green tunnels, and even though it’s full of tourists and St. Petersburgers most of the time, it always has several hidden, cozy, and quiet places for romantic couples. You can buy a cup of coffee or ice cream and enjoy the garden that Peter the Great personally designed for his new palace.
Boat Ride on Neva River
If you have never been to Venice, Italy, but you have heard of the romantic boat riding through the canals, you can have a similar experience in St. Petersburg. Most of the travel agencies and tour operators in Russia, including the Star Travel Group, suggest the boat-ride to their travelers both as a family experience and as a romantic journey on the river. Though Venice has more reputation for romantic canal riding, the romance and the experience is mostly the same in St. Petersburg as well.
Panorama Restaurants in the Historic Part of St. Petersburg
There are several restaurants inside the historic section of St. Petersburg that have a panoramic view over the top attractions of St. Petersburg. One of the most famous restaurants in that area has a magnificent view of St. Isaac’s Cathedral, which is not cheap, but a brunch or lunch in that place with that view would worth money.
New Holland Island
New Holland is an artificial island that locates on the Admiralteysky Canal Embankment. Despite the military history of this artificial island, currently, it’s one of the loveliest places in St. Petersburg, where many events and fun activities would hold there for children, families, and couples. Besides the museums, open area sports activities, children and toddler playground, we at the Star Travel Group recommend our travelers out take a trip to St. Petersburg as a couple to go and see a movie in an open area on the New Holland Island.
