There's one unspoken rule in St. Petersburg: if you want to see the real city, leave the central squares. This book is for those willing to abandon the beaten path for the quiet of old dachas, geometric courtyards, and strange finds on the outskirts.
Popular blogger Mikhail Kirsanov has collected here places that aren't usually captured in guidebooks. This is a stroll through the city's underbelly, where northern Art Nouveau coexists with bold contemporary art, and abandoned estates hold stories more compelling than any TV series. With this book, you'll experience the thrill of discovery: find a castle-like train station, enter a front door with Mettlach tiles, or discover rusty houses that change color depending on the weather.
This isn't a guidebook in the traditional sense, but rather an invitation to see St. Petersburg through the eyes of someone who loves its details. The atmosphere is key here: the smell of old wood at Finnish stations, the hum of the wind at the Pulkovo Observatory, and the thrill of finally seeing the city without the crowds!
