If you have quite a few days in St Petersburg, you might want to explore nearby cities as well. There are a couple of ancient towns around, that look very different from the former imperial capital. They are much smaller and you will never find any opulent brilliance on their streets, but they have their own charm and beauty, and besides, there is a lot of history in every stone. We offer you a day trip to Novgorod – the place where Russia was actually born.
Contact us and your personal manager will create the package offer or several hours tour according to your request.
Our guide will pick you up in the lobby of your hotel, and your will take a scenic drive through the picturesque Russian countryside to the birth place of the state. After about 3 hours you arrive in Novgorod Veliky – the former capital of the Novgorod principality. The first time it was mentioned in the chronicles was the 9th century, and since then the town had times of thrive and decay. You will have a tour around Detinets – the ancient fortress right in the heart of Novgorod, and see its great walls and towers. You will also discover the Saint Sophia Cathedral with an opportunity to go inside and be impressed by its interiors. Then you will have a chance to have lunch in one of the local cafes and enjoy traditional Russian food. After you recharge your batteries, you will drive to the wooden architecture museum, which is a great open-air attraction. You will see some of the old wooden huts that survived through years and were gathered here from various villages around the town. Not only you will have an outside view of them, but also have an opportunity to go inside and look how Russian peasants lived back some 200 years ago.
After the tour we will drive you back to your hotel, so you could relax after such a long and busy day.
