What You'll Do
• Take an unforgettable journey on rooftops
• See spires and domes of the main churches and cathedrals
• Marvel at the breathtaking sights from the most unusual viewing
point in the city
You will be standing on the building’s tin roof, looking down at tourist
boats cruising under green, arched bridges crossing the murky waters of
the Fontanka canal, flanked by the white, yellow, beige, and red waffle-
like fronts of 18th-century buildings. In the distance, you will see St.
Petersburg’s most well-known landmarks: the golden dome of St. Isaac’s
Cathedral and the green, blue, and grey onion domes of the Church of
Our Savior on Spilled Blood. Sneaking onto a St. Petersburg rooftop is a
great way to see the city, and the easiest way to do so is with an
experienced tour guide. To walk along the roofs means to be initiated.
After this the city will welcome you as a native. And even if you already
have been to St. Petersburg, a walk on the roofs will open the new sides
of the beloved city to you. Without a doubt, the roofs are the most
romantic places in our city.
