Take a morning orientation walk of the city with your CEO en route to the Hermitage Museum. Explore the museum at your own pace (entry ticket included) before free time to explore this opulent city.

Enjoy free time to explore Russia's cultural center.
Enjoy a brief walk with your CEO. He/she will give you some tips on finding things like supermarkets, main squares, and ATMs. For more specific or in-depth information, an official guided tour is recommended.
One of St. Petersburg's most famous and popular visitor attractions, the palace and park at Peterhof (also known as Petrodvorets) are often referred to as "the Russian Versailles", although many visitors conclude that the comparison does a disservice to the grandeur and scope of this majestic estate.
Opt for a midnight canal cruise in St Petersburg during the summer months when the sun barely sets. The experience is particularly fantastic in June during the White Nights' celebrations.
Head out in the morning on an included walking tour of the city. Learn more about the history and culture of St Petersburg while wandering small alleys and hidden neighborhoods with a local guide. Later, board a high-speed train to Moscow.
Take a guided walking tour to get familiar with the city – each walking tour is different based on the route the local guide chooses to take. Discover the hidden back alleys and small parks St Petersburg is famous for, as the local guide lifts the veil on this hidden world. Learn about the city’s fascinating history, and hear retelling of stories about famous buildings and local residents. Typically, the tour will stay around Nevsky Prospekt and will often end at the Hermitage, with visits to the Kazan Cathedral, the Church on Spilled Blood, and St Isaac's Cathedral along the way.
Climb aboard, take a seat, and enjoy the ride.
The fourth largest cathedral in the world, St Issac's is well worth a visit. While occasionally Russian Orthodox churches are so breathtakingly beautiful from the outside that it feels unnecessary to go inside, St Issac's has an interior that is definitely worth checking out. Head up the observation point and walk up to the dome for a beautiful panoramic view of the city.
Take a morning orientation walk with your CEO, who will also explain how to navigate the Moscow Metro. Considered the main mode of local transport, the Metro is known for its rich, elaborate artworks. This tour ends at 5pm.
This tour lines up with our Trans-Mongolian Adventure (ARTM). If you are continuing to travel with us on that tour, your Welcome Moment will take place back at the hotel.
