Alexander Druz is a legendary connoisseur, a diamond star of the "What? Where? When?" club and a six-time winner of the Crystal Owl grand prize. Who can know St. Petersburg better than a true St. Petersburger and one of Russia's most famous intellectuals? Alexander Druz was born in the Capital of Culture and from childhood he loved to walk around the city a lot: first with his parents, then with his future wife and finally with his children. Learning every year more and more new facts about the sights of the city on the Neva and unremarkable at first glance nooks and crannies, he decided to collect his favorite routes and share them with you. On the pages of this book you will find detailed descriptions of routes and the history of memorable places of the city. You will learn many curious details about St. Petersburg: on what principle Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky chose his house, where Gogol's famous tailor Roach lived, who sewed the coat that Pushkin wore at his last duel. The author will tell you about the curiosities that gave birth to the legends of St. Petersburg, and will guide you through the secret places that you might not have noticed. Pack your comfortable shoes and get on your way!
