Sooner or later, but for any person in whose area the children are responsible, it becomes obvious: the children need to show St. Petersburg. The child is difficult, the child is thin, so the question arises: how to show this child St. Petersburg with all its innumerable treasures of culture and universal values, and at the same time not to tire out, not to engender rejection in a fragile child's soul. There is only one way out: there is only one way to balance cognitive and entertaining activities in the program of the visit:
View
You can see the city from a bird's eye view from the colonnade of St. Isaac's Cathedral. A narrow spiral staircase made of stone leads to the observation platform, climbing it is a real test of endurance, but the goal is worth it. This spectacle will not leave anyone indifferent. The panorama of the city from this point is wonderful, in clear weather you can see many sights and unique St. Petersburg roofs, and the audio guide will provide the necessary information about St. Petersburg and its history, outlined in a language that is understandable and interesting for adults and children.
In the Hermitage and the Russian Museum, these great museums of St. Petersburg, you can see not only masterpieces of painting, but also magnificent interiors, sculpture, jewelry. Specificity of trips with children dictates their schedule, so do not plan long excursions, it is better to stop at several halls, and continue the examination until the next visit to the Northern capital.
