City tour

 An ideal way to start one's acquaintance with the city is to take a 3-hour city tour. The tour invariably ncludes a drive along Nevsky Prospect. Proceed then to Vasilevsky Island, the Peter and Paul Fortress and the Hermitage. After a glimpse at the University, proceed along the Dvortsovaya (Palace) Embankment to the Palace Square. After a stop by the multi-domed church of the Resurrection of Christ (also known as the Church on the Spilled Blood), cross the Neva to see the Aurora cruiser. Take a ride along the Neva to Smolny Cathedral and the Smolny Institute. Return then to the Admiralty region to look at St. Isaac's Cathedral. Stop by the Bronze Horseman. There is also an opportunity to visit St. Nicholas' Cathedral.
