This is a must! It's a bit scary at first, but you get used to walking on the roof top really quickly. First we went up to a tower on a tiny balcony all the way around the tower. Breathtaking views over the city! After the tower we continued through an attick on the roof next to Nevsky. Our tour guide was Maxim, he had great stories about the history of the city and like they promise, you get the best photos of the city from this tour.

Description

This is your chance to tip toe across the rooftops of St. Petersburg and soak up spectacular views of the city's well-known sights.

Your experienced guide will tell you fun and fascinating facts about the history of the city as you walk along the rooftops. You’ll see the spires and domes of churches and cathedrals and have the chance to look down on Nevsky Prospekt, the main street of St. Petersburg.

If you’re wondering how safe this tour is – never fear! The rooftops are slightly sloped but there are fences along the edges so there’s nothing to worry about. The tour doesn’t involve any climbing but we do advise that you wear comfortable shoes.

For those of you who are not overly confident when it comes to heights, rest assured that if you feel uncomfortable at any point on the tour, your guide will help you get back to the ground as quickly as possible.

Unique experience
Litlle adventure to climb all the way up there to the roof, but when did views where the best we saw during our trip in St Petersburg. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and pleasant person who also recommend local restaurant for as in the end (which was great) We heared some history, took little walk on side of rooftop and all that in peace without rush. Slippery during winter but that's pretty abvious. Unique experience, not self-evident to do those kind of things in every city. Yes.
