Top ItinerariesDay OneHistoric Heart (p54)

M Begin your first day by taking a stroll down Nevsky pr, the city’s central

avenue that connects the Hermitage to the Alexander Nevsky Monastery at the far end. Start at Ploshchad Vosstaniya, cross the lovely Fontanka, drop into the Church of the Saviour on the Spilled Blood and the Kazan Cathedral and end up at the dazzling ensemble of Palace Square, the Winter Palace and the General Staff Building. Wander along the embankment to the Summer Garden and then wander back along the Moyka River.

Sennaya & Kolomna (p104)

R Continue along the Moyka to St Isaac’s Cathedral, visit the aston-

ishingly elaborate interiors and then climb to the top of the dome for superb views of the city. Follow the Moyka down to the Yusupov Palace and the Mariinsky Theatre, end-ing up at the beautiful sky-blue Nikolsky Cathedral.

Historic Heart (p54)

N If the dive bars of Dumskaya ul don’t appeal, Apotheke Bar is a

convivial spot for cocktails nearby. Alter-natively the Belle View rooftop bar at the Kempinski Hotel Moyka 22 does indeed offer superb views.

Day TwoHistoric Heart (p54)

M After a hearty breakfast, head to the Hermitage and get ready for a day of

artistic exhilaration. Choose which parts of the collection you want to see, though leave some room for on-the-spot decision making – the exhibition is so enormous that you’ll inevitably discover something new. As well as the art, don’t miss the staterooms, and allow yourself plenty of rest stops to avoid exhaustion.

Historic Heart (p54)

R You may still want to spend a few hours in the museum and make the

most of your day ticket. But if you leave and still have some energy, wander along before picking up a sightseeing cruise around the canals – the best way to sightsee without having to do any more walking!

Sennaya & Kolomna (p104)

N If you’ve booked ahead, dress up to spend the evening watching a

ballet from the classical repertoire of the Mariinsky Theatre. Even if you haven’t booked, it’s usually quite possible to do so last minute in one of the other theatres in town. For a late-night drink with live jazz drop by Hat.

Dinner Enjoy the antique atmosphere and vegetarian dishes of Idiot (p116).

Lunch Dine with adorable cuddly toys at cosy Zoom Café (p91).

Dinner Enjoy a pre- or post-theatre meal at The Répa (p116).

Lunch Savour some excellent Russian cuisine at Yat (p93).

Day ThreePetrograd & Vyborg Sides (p154)

M This is your chance to explore the beautiful Petrograd Side. Start with

a visit to the Peter & Paul Fortress to see where the city began, wander past the mosque and perhaps drop in to see either Peter’s Cabin or the very interesting Museum of Political History. Wander down Kamennoostrovsky pr to take in the Russian Style Moderne architecture.

Vasilyevsky Island (p143)

R After lunch, walk across to Vasi-lyevsky Island, and wander the

historic ensemble around the Strelka. Visit the Kunstkamera, Peter the Great’s personal cabinet of curiosities, and drop in to the very interesting Menshikov Palace to see the oldest standing palace in the city. If you enjoy contemporary art,

continue on to the excellent Erarta Mu-seum of Contemporary Art.

Smolny & Vosstaniya (p121)

N Head south to happening Voss-taniya to gallery-, bar- and gig-

hop around Ligovsky pr. See some new artwork at Loft Project ETAGI and, if it’s summer, enjoy a drink in the sand and some table football at Dyuni.

Day FourAround St Petersburg (p173)

M Head out of the city early to spend the day in tsarist opulence. Go first

to Tsarskoe Selo in order to visit the Catherine Palace and have a walk in the gardens. If you’re still wanting more, head for Pavlovsk, a quick bus ride away, where the park is even wilder and more beautiful.

Historic Heart (p54)

R Return to the city in the afternoon and slot in the Russian Museum,

the perfect complement to the Hermitage. This spectacular (and far more manage-able) museum showcases seven centuries

of Russian art from church icons to the avant-garde.

Smolny & Vosstaniya (p121)

N Bar hop from ul Rubinshteyna north along the Fontanka, sneaking

into the secret bar Commode, followed by Union and Terminal Bar. Catch a live band at Fish Fabrique, Cosmonaut or alternative favourite Griboyedov for a taste of what’s cooking on the local music scene.

Dinner Dine in understated Russian elegance at Restoran (p152).

Lunch Enjoy great views over the Neva at Koryushka (p169).

Dinner Settle in for a wonderful set meal at EM restaurant (p116).

Lunch Eat at White Rabbit (p180) in the town of Pushkin.

Summer Garden (p84)

Our WritersRegis St LouisRegis grew up in a small town in the American Midwest – the kind of place that fuels big dreams of travel – and he developed an early fascination with foreign dialects and world cultures. He spent his formative years learning Russian and a handful of Romance languages, which served him well on journeys across much of the globe. Regis has contributed to more than 50 Lonely Planet titles, covering destinations across six continents. His travels have taken him from the

mountains of Kamchatka to remote island villages in Melanesia, and to many grand urban land-scapes. When not on the road, he lives in New Orleans.

Simon RichmondJournalist and photographer, Simon has specialised as a travel writer since the early 1990s and first worked for Lonely Planet in 1999 on the Central Asia guide. He’s long since stopped counting the number of guidebooks he’s researched and written for Lonely Planet, but countries covered include Aus-tralia, China, India, Iran, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar (Burma), Russia, Singapore, South Africa and Turkey. For Lonely Planet’s website he’s

penned features on topics from the world’s best swimming pools to the joys of urban sketching – follow him on Instagram (@simonrichmond) to see some of his photos and sketches.

Our StoryA beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies. Lonely Planet was born.

Today, Lonely Planet has offices in Franklin, London, Melbourne, Oakland, Dublin, Beijing and Delhi, with more than 600 staff and writers. We share Tony’s belief that ‘a great guidebook should do three things: inform, educate and amuse’.
