Definitely, one of the best ways to do sightseeing in the city of rivers and canals is taking a boat ride. Enjoying the surroundings throughout the trip you'll find out meanwhile many interesting and overwhelming things from your guide about St.Petersburg.

More than 70 rivers and canals wind their way through the city, with around 400 bridges crossing them. All the bridges over the Neva can be raised to allow large vessels pass through at night between April and October, when the river is navigable.

At that same time various pleasure boats ply their way around St. Petersburg - the so-called "river trams";     they follow a host of different routes, so it is possible to go from one boat to another and see all St. Petersburg's rivers and canals, thus viewing our city's main sights from the water. The looming silhouettes of  the bridges, the grandeur of the waterways, the granite embankments with their various piers and slipways, the 18th and 19th century palaces and parks on the banks of the Neva and the canals, architectural landmarks in the form of the domes and spires of churches and cathedrals, visible from a long way off - all this contributes to the unique appearance of the "Venice of the North", one of the world's most beautiful cities.
