Other Attractions: Watching opening of the bridges
  • Tip Rating:

  • During the summer months when the Neva river isn't frozen, the bridges across the river open at night to allow ships to pass up and down. Bridges open from May to late October according to a special schedule. Make sure you check the schedules and don't get caught on the wrong side of the river after 2 a.m., or you will be stranded on the wrong side of the river until the drawbridges are lowered between approximately 4:30 a.m. and 5 a.m.
    One night, about 2 am we went to see how the bridge opens. Unfortunatelly, we were too late because this particular night it opened earlier because of the renewing. But... the tradition is that during bridge opening you should open the bottle of champagne and drink it at the bank. So we did it watching at the opened bridge and ships passing by.

     Very nice tour of St. Petersburg, Ania. I was impressed by Elizabeth the Great's palace--it seems like there would be much to see here...

     Great page--wonderful travel descriptions. I bet you had to be sneaky to get that picture of the Amber room. When I was there, the old ladies in that room were watching us like hawks...

     Great page! Very interesting tourist traps. Hmm... I remember waiting over 24 hours to enter the paradise (= former Soviet Union) in 1970'...
