Things To Do in St. Pete

Many SPIEF participants often arrive early or stay after the Forum to explore St. Petersburg. The city has changed quite a bit during the COVID-19 pandemic, which is why, apart from the official program, we are going to give you an unofficial guide to St. Petersburg. We'll be posting on Sundays. Read, save, and share!

So, here is today's list of things to do in St. Petersburg:

1. Observe the city from a height of 21 meters

"Nikolskie Ryady" public space installed a summer viewing platform (the Tower), which offers a splendid view on the quiet historic district of St. Petersburg. Canals and cathedrals, old residential buildings and roofs of the city always look too beautiful from above to ignore this opportunity. Especially when the ticket price is as low as ☧150 ($2). After you're done admiring the city's beauty, you can grab a snack in the Nikolsie Ryady's atrium or even play minigolf.
When: all summer long
Address: 62, Sadovaya Street,in the courtyard

2. Go to a Nathan Altman exhibition

KGallery, one of St. Petersburg's best private art galleries, has long been known for its excellent exhibitions of artists of the Soviet period. The gallery mainly shows unofficial and underground art, but this time they put on an exhibition of Nathan Altman. He was an avant-garde artist who collaborated a lot with the Soviet government, especially during the first years after the 1917 revolution. For instance, he decorated the city's squares for the holidays. Apart from painting, Altman was engaged in sculpture, ceramics, industrial design, theatrical production. He is a rare example of how an avant-garde cubism artist managed to work within the new Soviet reality, without compromising his artistic and humanistic principles.
When: until June 13
Address: 24, Fontanka Embankment

3. Explore the Nekrasov Street bars

Forget about Rubinstein Street as the main party spot. All the fun has moved to Nekrasov Street: here you will always find bars and bookstores, noodle shops and Georgian restaurants for every taste and purse. You can come here on a Friday evening and hang out through the whole weekend, just passing from bar to bar, meeting old and making new friends.
Address: Nekrasov Street
