What can you expect?
The Petrograd side is one of the oldest districts of St. Petersburg, because it was here that the first buildings of the new capital were built - the Peter and Paul Fortress and the house of Peter I. But in the form in which we know it, the Petrograd side was formed only 200 years later, in the modern era.

In program
In 1903, the opening of the permanent Trinity Bridge took place, the area became fashionable, and the nouveau riche from all over St. Petersburg flocked here. In less than 10 years, they have erected many stone houses here, most of them monuments of St. Petersburg Art Nouveau. We will see many of them on a walk along Kamennoostrovsky Avenue, which has become a living witness of the heyday of the Petrograd side.
During our walk along Kamennoostrovsky Prospekt from Troitskaya Square to the Petrogradskaya metro station, you will see many famous buildings and learn a lot of interesting, often little-known facts from the history of St. Petersburg Art Nouveau and not only:
- Was Matilda Kshesinskaya really the king's beloved?
- How many janitors were there in the Three Benois home?
- How are the most beautiful dental clinic and Bolsheokhtinsky bridge connected?
- Where would Pushkin have studied had he been born 40 years later?
- Where the underground passage led from the house of the Emir of Bukhara?
After completing your tour, we will recommend nearby places of interest, museums worth visiting and viewing platforms with the most breathtaking views.
We always try to build a route taking into account the weather and your wishes - for example, when it is raining or frosty outside, we will go inside some buildings to inspect the interiors, and at the same time warm ourselves up.
