Interesting places in St Petersburg.

 

What are the interesting places in St. Petersburg? Of course, those we see on the official tours. On such tours we expect palaces, monumental, and much historical information. This is wonderful! But the tour is over, you are walking in the street of the city, go on a whim ... and accidentally turn to the street, where you see something you did not expect to see. An unusual monument or something else not less amazing. And this interesting place in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Arkhangelsk or other city you will remember, because you have just opened it!

 

The interesting places of St. Petersburg - unusual monuments, interesting signs, graffiti, who knows what else - all of them are usually hidden, where they are not expected to see. For our pleasure to open them.
