WELCOME TO SAINT PETERSBURG WITH KIDS!
Legend says the city was built in the sky and, once finished, it literally landed on earth! This makes Saint Petersburg such a magical city! A huge sphinx welcomes you to the city, it is unusual to find it in such a freezing place, isn’t it? It is one of the oldest monuments of the city.
ST BASIL ISLAND
This island welcomes you if you come from the sea! You can recognize it from the huge red columns of 32 meters, they were the old lighthouses and point out the presence of the island to the ones who came by boat.
ST PETER AND PAUL’S FORTRESS
This amazing fortress has been built by Peter The Great, it is a walled citadel. Inside the walls you will admire St Peter and Paul’s Cathedral, the oldest city in town. A legend says that as long as the angel who stays on the top of the church remains at its place, the city will be safe and sound! When in Saint Petersburg with kids, don’t miss it!

Another legend for you! In this church, a fortune teller told to the Tsar Alexander II he would have died after the 7th attempt to his life. He actually died, but at the 8th attempt!
THE BRONZE KNIGHT
A huge bronze statue devoted to Peter The Great! Another legend says that until the statue stays into the city, no one will attack it! The statue is really heavy and comes from outside the city. It took a very long time to bring it, because the sleigh could do only 150 meters each day!
