One of the "visiting cards" of St. Petersburg tour companies are walks along the rivers and canals. St. Petersburg from a river tram or a boat looks completely different than from the avenues and embankments. Moreover, such a view of the city is unusual both for tourists and for the Petersburgers themselves. Boat trips are possible only during the current navigation along the Neva. Navigation starts at the end of April and ends at the end of October.
Ways to carry out a night walk along the Neva, along the rivers and canals of St. Petersburg can also be found on the websites of the Vodokhod and Russian Cruises companies.
Tickets for excursions and boarding of river trams are sold at the intersection of Nevsky Prospekt with the Moika, the Griboyedov Canal and the Fontanka. Employees of excursion companies inviting for water walks work here. Walks on the river tram also start from the Admiralteyskaya and Palace embankments.
River trams depart as they fill up. In order not to wait a long time for the start of the tour, look for a boat almost filled with tourists or a pier in a place of constant flow of passers-by. In 2010, excursions along the rivers and canals are organized according to the schedule, regardless of the occupancy of the boats.
You will get the most vivid impressions of a boat trip in good weather with clear skies. When it rains, it will be possible to view the city only through the windows of the closed part of the river tram. On each boat, tourists are given blankets, as in warm weather a cool wind blows in the Neva water area. During the water excursion it is forbidden to stand (so as not to hit the structure of the bridges) - we strongly recommend that you listen to the guide only while sitting. The duration of walks along the rivers and canals of St. Petersburg is 1-1.5 hours.
