Blagoveshchensky Bridge Tours

Not just something that takes us from A to B, bridges are often landmarks that spark awe. Make your way to Blagoveshchensky Bridge and discover how, when and why the history behind this structure.

This longstanding structure is free to visit, so you can have a fun day out without grabbing for your wallet. However, Blagoveshchensky Bridge isn't the only thing to see in and around the commercial district of Admiralteysky Area. With State Hermitage Museum and Winter Palace, Peter and Paul Fortress and Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood close by, you may want to extend your stay.
