Bike Tour
Cover half the city on two wheels
In 1996 Peter Kozyrev founded Peterswalk, a company providing budget-conscious travelers with innovative walking tours of the northern capital. Over the years he expanded, earning a reputation for original routes that dip into the nooks and crannies of St. Petersburg. One of the hits of the Peterswalk summer program is the White Night Bike Tour, which sets off at 10:30 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday.
The tour takes in most of the main sights of the city center, including Palace Square, the Admiralty, the Bronze Horseman, the Field of Mars and the Church on Spilled Blood. There is also a stop by Trinity Bridge for participants to watch the bridge being raised. Taking this 3.5-hour bike trip will allow you to see many areas that can’t be fitted into a single walking tour. Cruise around the embankments and historical quarters of Vasilevsky Island, watch the bridges over the Neva River open and enjoy the views of the city from a new angle at an unusual hour.
The tour costs 2,000 rubles ($33.50) per person including bike. English-speaking guides are available; ask for Lena.
