Residents of Russia can get into our city through the river station (on Obukhovskoy Oborony prospect), and also use the Utkina Zavod' and Solyanoy dock, which are located on Oktyabrskaya embankment, near the Vantovy Bridge.
The main river route is from Moscow to St. Petersburg and back. Passenger ships come to St. Petersburg from Novgorod, Perm, Kazan, Samara. Among Petersburgers are popular trips to the Solovetsky Islands and the Valaam, travels along the Don and the Volga.
There is another so-called water attraction, which is loved by both adults and children. From Peterhof, a beautiful suburb with fountains, you can get to Petersburg by meteor boat. In half an hour you will be brought to the very center of the city, to the pier at the Hermitage.
It is impossible to arrive at the North Palmyra by water in winter, the navigation period is from the end of April to October. A river trip will give you a boost of energy when the weather is nice outside. Just wait for the sunny mood and go!
