Things to do in Saint Petersburg

Saint Petersburg: The Window to Europe

Saint Petersburg is a city built to impress. Founded by Peter the Great to rival the capitals of Europe, it is a masterpiece of canals, baroque palaces, and golden spires. Unlike the red brick power of Moscow, Saint Petersburg is pastel-colored, elegant, and deeply artistic. Our Saint Petersburg Group Tours invite you to step into the world of the Russian Tsars.

Why Choose a Saint Petersburg Package? This city has an overwhelming amount of history. Museums like the Hermitage are so vast that navigating them alone is exhausting. TripClub ensures you see the highlights without the hassle. We provide Skip-the-Line entry to the major palaces (which are notoriously crowded), arrange hydrofoil boat rides to Peterhof, and use expert guides who can tell the tragic and triumphant stories of the Romanov dynasty.

Imperial Splendor Our itineraries cover the "Big Three" residences of the Tsars:

• The Hermitage (Winter Palace): One of the largest and oldest museums in the world. Walk up the Jordan Staircase and see masterpieces by Da Vinci and Rembrandt in the rooms where the Emperors lived.
• Peterhof (The Russian Versailles): Travel by high-speed hydrofoil across the Gulf of Finland to this seaside estate. It is famous for its Grand Cascade—a stunning series of 64 fountains and 200 bronze statues that operate without pumps.
• Catherine Palace (Pushkin): Visit the summer residence of the Tsars to see the legendary Amber Room, a chamber decorated entirely in amber panels, gold leaf, and mirrors, often called the "Eighth Wonder of the World."

The Venice of the North Saint Petersburg is built on islands connected by over 300 bridges.

• Canal Cruise: See the city from the water. Sail under historic bridges and past the palaces that line the Neva River.
• Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood: The most iconic church in the city, built on the spot where Tsar Alexander II was assassinated. Its colorful onion domes and 7,000 square meters of interior mosaics are breathtaking.
• The White Nights: If you visit in June or early July, the sun barely sets. The city stays awake all night, and you can watch the massive drawbridges over the Neva River open to let ships pass—a true bucket-list spectacle.
