The former capital of Tsar Russia is surrounded by numerous impressive palaces, baroque or rococo, with magnificent fountains and gardens that today are World Heritage Site in what is called "St. Petersburg Historic Centre and annexed monumental ensembles".

avenues, elegant shopping districts, the Red Square and the Lenin Mausoleum,
St. Basil’s Cathedral and the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour (open for
worship, visitors wearing shorts are not allowed to enter). Visit to the Kremlin

09.30 hrs. - Nizhny Novgorod - Departure -. We will leave Nizhny in a very original way: on the cable car that travels over the river Volga and connects the city centre with the other shore (sometimes the cable car is not working and this stage will be done by road). We will go off the busiest roads to see the rural world, large planes, fir forests, lakes along the way and villages of wooden houses.
11.00 hrs. - MAKARYEV – Arrival -. A small village with a large 15th century walled monastery on the banks of the Volga, a very beautiful place practically devoid of tourism. The religious inhabitants of the monastery will open their churches to us and we can also photograph the village houses of traditional architecture.-
13.00 hrs. - Makaryev – ferry departure - (times may change). On a small ferry, used only by the locals (tractors, village people, small vehicles, etc.) we will cross the river Volga.
