Top Itineraries
Day OneHistoric Heart (p52)
M Begin your first day in St Petersburg by taking a stroll down Nevsky pr,
the city’s central avenue that connects the Hermitage to the Alexander Nevsky Mon-astery at the far end. Start at Ploshchad Vosstaniya, cross the lovely Fontanka, drop into the Church on the Spilled Blood and the Kazan Cathedral and end up at the dazzling ensemble of Palace Square, the Winter Palace and the General Staff Building. Wander along the embankment to the Summer Garden and then wander back along the Moyka River.
Sennaya & Kolomna (p98)
R Continue along the Moyka to St Isaac’s Cathedral, visit the aston-
ishingly elaborate interiors and then climb to the top of the dome for superb views of the city. Continue down the Moyka to the Yusupov Palace and the Mariinsky Theatre, ending up at the beautiful sky-blue Nikolsky Cathedral. Drop into Entrée for coffee and cake.
Historic Heart (p52)
N If it’s a weekend, head down to Dumskaya ul for a raucous time
with locals who like to congregate here for drinking, dancing and general debauchery. For something a little more elegant, have a cocktail at the Belmond Grand Hotel Europe.
Day TwoHistoric Heart (p52)
M After a hearty breakfast, head to the Hermitage and get ready for a day
of artistic exhilaration. Choose which parts of the collection you want to see, though leave some room for on-the-spot decision making – the exhibition is so enormous that you’ll inevitably discover something new. As well as the art, don’t miss the staterooms, and allow yourself plenty of rest stops to avoid exhaustion.
Historic Heart (p52)
R You may still want to spend a few hours in the museum and make the
most of your day ticket. But if you leave and still have some energy, wander along before picking up a sightseeing cruise around the canals – the best way to sightsee without having to do any more walking!
Sennaya & Kolomna (p98)
N If you’ve booked ahead, dress up to spend the evening watching a ballet
from the classical repertoire of the Mariin-sky Theatre. Even if you haven’t booked, it’s usually quite possible to do so last minute in one of the other theatres in town. For a post-Mariinsky drink, head to Mayakovsky.
Dinner Book ahead for gorgeous Teplo (p106).
Lunch Enjoy some rustic Russian dishes at Yat (p90).
Dinner Enjoy the multilevel eating at Biblioteka (p89).
Lunch Bring your own lunch or face the underwhelming Hermitage cafe.

Day ThreePetrograd & Vyborg Sides (p142)
M Begin day three with a trip to the beautiful Petrograd Side. Start with
a visit to the Peter and Paul Fortress to see where the city began, wander past the mosque and perhaps drop in to see either Peter’s Cabin or the very interesting Mu-seum of Political History. Wander down Kamennoostrovsky pr to take in the Style Moderne architecture.
Vasilyevsky Island (p132)
R After lunch, walk across to Vasil- yevsky Island and wander the his-
toric ensemble around the Strelka. Visit the Kunstkamera, Peter the Great’s per-sonal cabinet of curiosities, and drop in to the very interesting Menshikov Palace to see the oldest standing palace in the city. If you enjoy contemporary art, continue on to the excellent Erarta Museum of Con-
temporary Art, which is definitely worth the hassle of a marshrutka ride to get to.
Smolny & Vosstaniya (p112)
N Head south to happening Voss-taniya to gallery-, bar- and gig-
hop around Ligovsky pr. See some new artwork at Loft Project ETAGI, enjoy a drink in the sand and some table football
Day FourDay Trips from St Petersburg (p159)
M Head out of the city early to spend the day in tsarist opulence. Go
first to Tsarskoe Selo in order to visit the Catherine Palace and have a walk in the gardens. If you’re still wanting more, Pavlovsk is a quick bus ride away and the park is even wilder and more beautiful.
Historic Heart (p52)
R Head back to the city in the after- noon and slot in the Russian
Museum, the perfect complement to the Hermitage. This spectacular (and far more manageable) museum showcases seven centuries of Russian art from church icons to the avant-garde. Buy the full ticket and add on the Stroganov Palace, Marble
Palace and Mikhailovsky Castle for some fabulous interiors too.
Smolny & Vosstaniya (p112)
N Enjoy the bars around ul Rubin-shteyna and the Fontanka – have
a drink at Terminal Bar, The Hat or Mishka. For music, have a Soviet-era dance at Petrovich, or head to alternative favourite Griboyedov for a taste of what’s cooking on the local music scene.
Dinner Dine in understated Russian elegance at Restoran (p140).
Lunch Enjoy a relaxed and stylish lunch at Mesto (p156).
Dinner Have a meal and plenty of wine at Vinostudia (p123).
Lunch Eat at White Rabbit (p166) in the town of Pushkin.

Tom MastersCoordinating author, Sennaya & Kolomna, Smolny & Vosstaniya, Vasily-evsky Island, Day Trips Tom first came to St Petersburg in 1996 while studying Russian at the School of Slavonic & East European Studies, part of the Universi-ty of London. He loved the city so much that he came back after graduating and worked as a writer and editor at the St Petersburg Times, a job that allowed him to get to know the city in intimate detail. While since living in London and Berlin,
Tom has always retained a strong link with the city, authoring Lonely Planet’s St Petersburg guide for the third time this edition. You can see more of Tom’s work at www.tommasters.net.
Simon RichmondHistoric Heart, Petrograd & Vyborg Sides Simon first visited Russia in 1994 when he was amazed by the treasures of the Hermitage and Lenin’s mummified corpse in Red Square. He’s since travelled the breadth of this vast nation from Kamchatka to Kaliningrad and many points in between. An award-winning writer and photographer, Simon is the co-author of Lonely Planet’s Russia and Trans- Siberian Railway guides over the last four editions as well as many other titles for
the company, from Cape Town to Korea. Read more about him at www.simonrichmond.com.

Our Writers
Our StoryA beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies. Lonely Planet was born.
Today, Lonely Planet has offices in Franklin, London, Melbourne, Oakland, Beijing and Delhi, with more than 600 staff and writers. We share Tony’s belief that ‘a great guidebook should do three things: inform, educate and amuse’.
