Neva River Boat Ride, St. Petersburg Overview

The Neva River is an iconic part of the St. Petersburg layout. It's embankments are the foundation of many attractions, and boat rides on the river offer some spectacular views. Passing under historic bridges and alongside landmarks like the Winter Palace, Peter and Paul Fortress, and St. Isaac’s Cathedral, the ride highlights St. Petersburg’s charm as the “Venice of the North.” Evening rides are especially magical, with the city's illuminated skyline and the famous drawbridges rising.

The Neva River is one of Europe's largest rivers by volume, and the layout of the city was centred heavily around the Neva. So much so, most of the important buildings were built along the river. The various embankments on the Neva River provide the foundations for many historic structures such as Winter Palace, the Summer Garden, and the Split of the Vasilievsky Island. Throughout the summers, and some warm winters there are hundreds of boats that operate on the river, providing some fabulous panoramic views of the city and it's magnificent attractions.
