    The nature and architecture of the Leningrad Region are stunningly diverse. It is not surprising that Russian filmmakers often choose these regions for filming. We suggest that you go in search of places where popular Soviet and Russian films were shot. And at the same time, visit those, where you won't be able to go on purpose. We guarantee - it will be interesting!
    Route features:
    • Exciting walks along the best historical places;
    • Visiting unique museums of the Leningrad Region.

    Recommendations:
    • It is important to keep a social distance when visiting public places, and to use personal protective equipment.
    • You should also remember that checking into hotels as well as visiting museums is possible only if you have a valid QR-code or a negative PCR-test for no more than 72 hours.
    Information is current for the period autumn 2021.
