You always want to spend your weekends in a fun, interesting and informative way, so that you have enough impressions for the whole long working week. Residents and guests of St. Petersburg can only be envied - there are many ideas for a memorable weekend in this city. You can choose an active vacation, spend days in museums or theaters, ride along rivers and canals - there are options for every taste, budget and season.
Instructions
Step 1
A great option for recreation is walking in the historical center. The most interesting thing is to develop and plan a specific route. Be sure to include breakfast and lunch in cafes or restaurants and, of course, specialty coffee in one of the many coffee houses. Please note - the lower the temperature outside, the more food breaks you will need.
Step 2
The weekend scenario is largely dependent on the weather. If it's cold and windy outside, plan indoor activities. In warm and sunny weather, get out into the fresh air. For example, take a ride on one of the sightseeing river trams that operate from May to October. Look for them on any promenade in the center. You can choose a standard route, or you can create your own. Owners of private boats will help to implement it. When planning a river trip, be sure to bring a jacket or warm jacket - it can get cold on the water.
Step 3
In the spring and fall, be sure to take a trip to the suburbs. In May, the season of fountains opens - this is a reason to visit Peterhof. And in September, you need to walk along the alleys of Pavlovsk or Gatchina, drink beer on open verandas and go boating in parks.
Step 4
If you are interested in theaters, stock up on tickets in advance. Tickets can be bought at ticket offices on streets and metro stations, and almost all of them are computerized - you can choose an empty seat directly on the monitor. The active theater season begins in autumn, at which time two major festivals are timed - Baltic House and Alexandrinsky. Famous classical music, opera and ballet festivals take place in December and May. And the kids should be taken to a new musical at the Zazerkalye children's musical theater.
Step 5
A great weekend idea is a trip to the museum. For example, the Hermitage is a win-win option for both guests and residents of the Northern Capital. Those who are there for the first time should not go around all the halls in a row - plan your own route. All information about the museum can be found on its website. Please note that admission is free for schoolchildren, students and senior citizens, so you can plan your family outing. Children will love the Zoological Museum - it has a huge collection - from stuffed mammoths to insects. You can also take them to the St. Petersburg Museum of Dolls - the delight of the kids is guaranteed.
Step 6
For those who have already visited the most famous galleries, there are non-standard options like a bread museum or a water museum. The expositions there are not so extensive, but they are very original. In addition to stationary expositions, various events are constantly organized in the city. For example, traveling exhibitions, expositions, street concerts. The schedule for each weekend can be viewed on specialized Internet sites. There you can also find a company for joint ventures - this type of leisure is now very popular.
