Walking tour of the "Petrograd side"

Book tickets


купить билет You can buy tickets on the website, without any queue & fee (don't buy tickets on the street!). Bank cards are accepted.


We invite you to take a walking tour of the famous Petrogradskaya side accompanied by a professional guide!


We shall see "Petrogradka" through the prism of old stained-glass windows! You will take a walk through unknown courtyards and unexplored front doors. You will get into unusual “courtyards-wells” and sneak at the back of the front facades of apartment buildings, where sightseeing tours do not usually reach. You will look at the real life of St. Petersburg a century ago through the patterned multi-colored windows, hear the stories of its residents and just make great selfies!


Our route will cover the most interesting places of the little-known part of the Petrograd side. You will see front doors with fancy stained glass windows and iconic apartment buildings and learn about rather short but a very bright path of St. Petersburg Art Nouveau. We will look into the courtyard of the famous house of the Emir of Bukhara, where one front door with ancient molding and paintings leads to a communal apartment for 12 shared rooms, and the other, according to some rumors, to the apartment of a billionaire.


You will hear about how "houses for tenants" appeared and will understand why there are so many “courtyards-wells” in St. Petersburg, why walls without any windows (Brandmauers) and combined staircases-labyrinths are needed. We shall discuss the construction techniques of the landlords to increase their profits and how they bent the laws, as well as admire the architectural decor of the front halls: forged railings stairs, fireplaces, Metlah tiles and, of course, stained-glass windows - the hallmark of Petrogradskaya Side's "Silver century”.


During the tour you will see:

- Emir of Bukhara house

- Baranovskaya's house

- Dalberg and Kochendorf house

- Antonova house

- the First Russian Insurance Association house
