Darkness does not exist

The Night tour of St. Petersburg… It's indescribable: walk through the cobbled streets to look in hidden from the eyes of the courts, to observe the play of shadows in the historic city on the Neva. Night, street, lights… Their light is not meaningless and dull – it is life-giving, filling with new content all that day seemed so familiar.

Reflected in the Neva river

White nights do not include lights, crowded street. But run a dozen July days, and dusk will remind you eternal movement of the Earth around its axis. Sightseeing tour around Saint-Petersburg shows that in the darkness of the Northern capital becomes quieter, more humble, but it's still expressive and mysterious.

The street lighting System of the city, including architectural lighting, – solid exclusive. During the tour across St. Petersburg by bus (and walking) is celebrated by almost all tourists. Lights and spotlights accentuates the aesthetic appearance of Petrograd.
