One of the main advantages of taking a trip to St. Petersburg when participating in tour programs in Russia is undoubtedly the availability of many options for choosing tour programs. St. Petersburg is one of the main tourist destinations on the Russia tour, which receives millions of tourists annually. The number of tourist attractions in St. Petersburg is so large that tourists will not have the opportunity to see all of them on a trip to St. Petersburg. The variety of these tourist attractions is still so great that any tourist with any taste can plan an enjoyable tour program for themselves. Many tourist attractions in St. Petersburg are gathered in the tourist center of this city. However, there are many tourist attractions on St. Petersburg's outskirts and in the imperial estates outside the city. Each of these tourist attractions can be introduced as the main part of the St. Petersburg tour. Many tourists also decide to trust Russian tour operators' plans due to many available programs in St. Petersburg tours. However, it would help if you kept in mind that many of St. Petersburg's tourist attractions, such as the major museums, spectacular parks, and cultural and artistic centers, are common in most St. Petersburg tour programs. There are only a few details that distinguish tours from each other. However, we at Star Travel Group have always introduced all the tourist attractions, including the popular attractions and the attractions that are less visited by tourists, so that no part of St. Petersburg remains unknown to tourists. There are many different ways to categorize tourist attractions in St. Petersburg so that tourists can plan their tour from these tourist attractions. One of the most common methods of classifying tourist attractions in St. Petersburg is to separate them according to their location. St. Petersburg tourist center consists of four main districts, each of which hosts an essential part of St. Petersburg's tourist attractions and sights.
St. Petersburg is made up of about 18 different districts. Neighborhoods such as Pushkinsky, Vyborgsky, and Nevsky are part of these 18 districts of St. Petersburg. Although St. Petersburg residents often use the old names of these neighborhoods, such as Harbor, Kolomna, and Old Village, it may be a little more difficult for foreigners to find addresses in the city. The essential part of St. Petersburg neighborhoods, which is more important for foreign tourists, is divided into four main districts or neighborhoods, each of which has housed several essential tourist attractions in the St. Petersburg tour. Tourists planning to take a trip to St. Petersburg can experience a safe and enjoyable trip to Russia by identifying these four main neighborhoods on the St. Petersburg tour. The four main neighborhoods on the St. Petersburg tour are The Central District, The Admiralteysky District, The Vasileostrovsky District, and The Petrogradsky District, which form the central part of St. Petersburg. Of course, you should not forget that many of St. Petersburg's tourist attractions are located outside of these four neighborhoods. However, many important tourist attractions that tourists should not miss the opportunity to visit are divided into these four neighborhoods.
The Central District
The main part of St. Petersburg, which is also one of the most beautiful parts of the city, is the Central District of St. Petersburg. This historic area is undoubtedly one of the top attractions in Europe that tourists should not miss the opportunity to visit each corner of it. The Central District is home to several magnificent palaces, beautiful gardens, art, historical and cultural museums, cultural and artistic centers, and historical landmarks, many of which are visited by tourists during their tour to St. Petersburg. The most crucial street in St. Petersburg, Nevsky Prospect, and the central square, Palace Square, are located in this neighborhood. The Hermitage Museum, the State Russian Museum, and the Faberge Museum are also important museums in the Central District. The Church of the Savior Spilled in Blood and the Kazan Cathedral are also important churches in St. Petersburg. The Summer Garden, The Singer House, and the Alexanderinsky Theater are other important tourist attractions in St. Petersburg that you should not miss.
The Admiralteysky District
The Admiralteysky District is the second most important neighborhood on the St. Petersburg tour to explore. The Admiralteysky District is one of the oldest neighborhoods in St. Petersburg. Many important historical and cultural figures, such as Dostoyevsky, Pushkin, and Lermontov, lived in this neighborhood. The neighborhood's name dates back to the early 18th century, in 1704, when the Admiralty Fortress and shipyard were built here. The historical combination of this region and today's modernized architecture has given this region an interesting characteristic trait. Some of the buildings in this area are the same age as St. Petersburg. That is why these buildings' coexistence with modern residential and commercial buildings has created a significant and beautiful contrast. About half of St. Petersburg's cultural heritage is located in the Admiralteysky District. That is why this neighborhood is of particular importance in the tour to Russia. St. Isaac's Cathedral and Trinity Cathedral are some of the most important religious buildings in the neighborhood. Senate Square, Angliyskaya Embankment, and New Holland Island are also located in The Admiralteysky District. Yusupov Palace, the Mariinsky Theater, and the St. Nicholas Naval Cathedral are other major tourist attractions on Russia tour that are located in the Admiralteysky District.
The Vasileostrovsky District
You can't complete the trip to St. Petersburg without visiting The Vasileostrovsky District. This neighborhood is one of the most beautiful and oldest neighborhoods in St. Petersburg, which consists of three different islands. Vasilievsky Island is the most important island in this neighborhood. Although the number of tourist attractions in appearance is less than the other neighborhoods we mentioned so far, in terms of importance on tour to St. Petersburg is equal to others. Although there are many museums in this neighborhood, the most significant tourist attraction in this neighborhood is undoubtedly Strelka, which has one of the most fantastic views of St. Petersburg. The Kunstkamera, the Erarta Museum of Contemporary Arts, Universitetskaya Embankment, and all the tourist attractions inside it, and the Twelve Colleges are among the most important tourist attractions in the Vasileostrovsky District, that you should not miss the opportunity to see during your travel to St. Petersburg.
The Petrogradsky District
The fourth and final piece of the puzzle in the central part of St. Petersburg is the Petrogradsky District. This neighborhood is initially the first neighborhood of St. Petersburg and the city center at its establishment. The Petrogradsky District consists of seven islands. Peter and Paul Fortress, the first structure in St. Petersburg, was built in this neighborhood. The first residential building, The Cabinet of Peter the Great, was also built in this neighborhood. Although after Peter the Great's death, the center of St. Petersburg was moved to Vasilievsky Island and then to the Central District. Since then, the Petrogradsky District became a luxury residential area, and for a while, the Petrogradsky District has been known as the St. Petersburg suburb. Today, however, this neighborhood has become one of the most important neighborhoods in St. Petersburg and became one of the four main districts of the city. Next to Peter and Paul Fortress, the Political History Museum, the Aurora Cruiser Ship Museum, the Leningrad Zoo, and the beautiful Yelagin Island are located in the neighborhood.
