Маршрут

In 1941-1944 the city survived the most destructive siege in the history of human warfare. More than 800 000 citizens lost their lives to starvation, cold, artillery shelling and air raids. Our tour brings the images of that terrible and heroic time alive, starting with a walk along the Nevsky Prospekt to the St. Isaac’s square and ending with a visit to the Siege museum. The guide will show you blown-up pictures of the city during the Siege at the same spots they were originally taken from and tell you the stories behind them.
