SUMMER IN ST PETERSBURG - BOAT TRIPS AND DRAWBRIDGES
29 June 2025

Summer in St. Petersburg is a special time when the city comes alive and is filled with bright colors, sounds and aromas. Warm weather, long daylight hours and a variety of events make summer in the Northern capital especially attractive for residents and visitors of the city.
One of the main features of the summer season in St. Petersburg are the boat trips along the Neva, canals and the bay which allow you to enjoy magnificent views of historical sights - the Hermitage Museum, Peter and Paul Fortress, St. Isaac's Cathedral and numerous bridges. Water excursions provide a unique opportunity to see the city from a different side, feel its atmosphere and admire the sunsets over the water.
A special place in the summer life of St. Petersburg is occupied by drawbridges. Their opening is a real spectacle for tourists and residents of the city. Every night in the summer, the bridges across the Neva are raised to allow ships to pass. This creates a special atmosphere of anticipation and excitement. The opening time of bridges is a kind of ritual - people gather on the embankments to see this engineering spectacle. Especially famous are the Palace, Troitsky, Birzhevoy and other drawbridges.
MIR Travel Company invites you to enjoy the summer in St. Petersburg and share with us this time of vivid impressions, romance and beauty. Boat trips and drawbridges will make your visit truly unique and unforgettable.
