    Like many big cities in the world, also here you can take the traditional sightseeing with the horse around.

    On every bridge you find people with signs saying "River Cruise" (we could decipher...). Just hop on one of those boats. They'll cruise you around the canals of St. Petersburg for one hour. It costs just a few bucks. And it's stunning seeing all the beautiful sights of St. Petersburg from a different perspective. On our tour, they gave all the explanations in Russians. But we didn't care. We just enjoyed the view. And since none of the "River Cruise"-Signs on the bridges is written in English you probably have to enjoy one hour of Russin explanations about St. Petersburg.

    Saint Petersburg is made for walkers. Even in Winter you can find plenty to see. But if you get tired, the Metro subway systems is fun and only about 6 Rubles. The long escalators into these tunnels, which can double as bomb shelters, is quite an experince. Even if you don't take the Metro a trip down and back up the escalator is worth the 6 Rubles. Buses run about 10-12 Rubles, you can flag a car anywhere for a few bucks, and get a taxi for about twice that. But walk, that is the real fun. There is art and architecture in every block.

  • Horses and ponies in the park - Saint Petersburg
    Horses and ponies in the park
    by sennaya
    Send Photo to a Friend
    Often you can see people on horseback in the city, even near Palace Square, offering horse back rides. It is actually illegal for horses in the city and they often come at night when the policemen are not around. But it will be more pleasant if you want to take a little ride to find these freelance rides in a park such as Kretovsky Ostrov. one person asked 150 rubles for 5 minites or 300 rubles to make a loop around the park. You may also see ponies for small children. Metro Krestovsky Ostrov puts you in a beautiful CPKO Central Park of Culture and Rest area where you can find many paths to walk and horses for hire.

    Use your feet. We found so many wonderful little museums, restaurants and buildings just by walking.

    Cycling is the least recommended transportation mode in St.Petersburg as car drivers have little or mostly none respect for those trying to cycle in this traffic. Do like my son & cycle at home if you need to! I am however sometimes cycling (always pushing my luck?) and in the morning and evening traffic jams it is often far faster than by driving which is my only other transport mode I use. Do not ask me about puclic transportation modes in StP. I admit that I used metro two times and even trolley bus in 1995..

    No matter where you go in St. Petersburg, you will find yourself walking, walking and more walking. This may get tiring, but it allows you to see the sights and absorb everything better than you would if you were to use other forms of transportation. Watch where you walk, though, because drivers on the street won't slow down while you cross, and sometimes the roads and walkways can be pretty rough.

    To get around city center it is really easy to walk as there are lots of thinf´gs to see. The history of the sity is colorfull and interestig so to get the feeling of that walking is the best way. But i must say that nobody seems to know any highway code so be careful.

  • I arrived to this beautiful city on a cruise ship. I would recommend taking a guided tour because of language difficulties. Visit downtown, museums and the theaters.
