One day trip to Ladoga Lake is a great opportunity to relax from the city bustle and rush and visit unique places in the vicinity of St. Petersburg. This is an opportunity not only to diversify your weekend, but also to learn a lot of new and interesting things, expand your horizons and get a lot of impressions.

Румболовский парк
Park
Open Details
Rumbolovská hill is a natural monument in itself, but over time it has become a place of memory, significant for all the inhabitants of the city. At the foot of the mountain there is a memorial in the form of oak and laurel leaves, symbolizing life and fame, and an acorn before them, symbolizing new life.
Next to the monument there is a stele with the image of trucks, once walking along the Road of Life to the besieged Leningrad. On the stele itself there are poems by the Soviet poetess Olga Berggolts. In a large park with paths behind the memorial there is an opportunity to walk a little and take a photo.

The Cat Museum in Vsevolozhsk will be equally interesting for adults and kids. The oldest cat-café in Russia is located in a small two-storey house. The main exposition is on the second floor. Here are not only paintings and figures of cats - in the museum live real cats, which can be petted. The poster of the museum and the cost of the excursion can be found on the official website.

We suggest going to a very interesting performance, where the main actors are horses! And no, this is not a circus or a horse club. Horses are treated here with care and love, without ammunition and rigid training. Each performance is unique: there is improvisation from the main performers!
All in all, be sure to check out playbill of the performances to pick a day of travel and go enjoy the art.
You can also check out website for individual programs.
