Carriage Rides in St. Petersburg – A Truly Royal Experience

"A carriage for me, a carriage," I say almost every time I stroll through the center of St. Petersburg. Where else, if not in Russia's cultural capital 💕.

✨ You can find magnificent carriages drawn by two horses near St. Isaac's Cathedral (on the side of Alexander Park). They used to operate right on Palace Square, but recently the boarding location has changed.

✨ Routes through the historic city center. The standard ride lasts 20 minutes: you’ll see the Manege building, the Senate and Synod buildings, the Bronze Horseman, Admiralty Embankment, Palace Square, and the Admiralty. Essentially, all the iconic landmarks in one trip.

✨ After the ride, we fed the horses carrots and apples.

✨ We took luxurious photos and videos. Fortunately, photos and videos are included in the price!

✨ As for the cost – it’s roughly equivalent to buying a ticket to Disneyland 😅 But the teleportation to the past was worth it!
