Three days in St. Petersburg is a chance to choose a few key places rather than fit everything in.
Day 1: Palace Square and the Hermitage. Choose galleries for your family’s interests, then leave time for lunch and a short Nevsky Prospekt walk. Add a boat trip if weather and navigation allow.
Day 2: Peterhof or Tsarskoye Selo. Give one destination a full day. Palace, park and fountain access depends on the season; we discuss tickets for your dates.
Day 3: The Russian Museum or a gentle city-centre walk before departure. Leave enough time for the airport journey.
We discuss meals, prayer breaks and pace in advance. Timed tickets help plan the day but do not remove security checks or possible entry waits.
