To meet the growing demand, new routes and developments in tourist infrastructure are being introduced under the national project “Tourism and Hospitality Industry” in the Northern Capital.
St. Petersburg’s iconic attractions—palaces, churches, museums, parks, white nights, and drawbridges—remain ever-popular. Those planning another trip might think they’ve seen everything the city has to offer, but revisiting the banks of the Neva can reveal new horizons, according to “Rossiyskaya Gazeta.”
Firstly, traditional events like the Icebreaker Festival or the Christmas Fair are held with new themes and activities each year. Secondly, new projects are being implemented: for example, the all-season maritime resort “Gorskaya” will soon emerge on the shores of the Gulf of Finland, and the year-round route “Saint Petersburg. New Geography” is already updating the city’s map of attractions.
Beyond the “classical” sites, visitors can explore the public space “Sevkabel Port,” the contemporary art museum “Erarta,” the historical park “Island of Forts,” and the Naval Glory Museum.
St. Petersburg serves as a transport hub for the entire Northwestern Federal District, making it a convenient starting point for a broader journey. Statistics indicate that approximately 35% of visitors to the Northern Capital combine their visit with trips to other cities and attractions in Russia’s Silver Necklace region.
