River and canal boat tours have once again become available for tourists in St. Petersburg. These excursions are not offered in winter because the Neva River is covered in ice. River tours usually resume in mid-April, when the river is completely free of ice. (This applies not only to the Neva River, but also to Lake Ladoga.)
Tourists should definitely take a boat tour along the Neva and other rivers and canals of St. Petersburg. The city looks completely different from the water. You can also take a boat to Peterhof and Kronstadt.
Where to book a river tour in St. Petersburg? It’s not a problem. River and boat tours are sold directly at the piers. There are many piers. Docks for pleasure boats are located wherever there are many tourists.
You cross the Fontanka River, the Griboyedov Canal, and the Moika River as you walk along Nevsky Prospekt from Moskovsky Station to Palace Square. You’ll see docks for pleasure boats everywhere, and you can buy boat tickets everywhere.
There are docks for tourist boats on the Neva River near the Palace Bridge and in other places. We wish you a pleasant journey.
Is it worth taking a boat tour if the weather is rainy and windy? You’ll have to decide for yourself.
