Winter St. Petersburg: palaces and family comfort
Five days in St. Petersburg: museums, one countryside palace and a flexible family day. Short walks and warm breaks; the programme also works without snow.
One city base and four nights without long transfers. Settle in after arrival, visit a main museum and one countryside palace, then enjoy a day shaped around your family's interests. November and April have a separate snow-free plan. We confirm the visits and daily order around your flights and museum admission times.
