The 4th edition of the author's guidebook from the "Tourism in Detail" series will allow you to discover St. Petersburg from a new side, immerse yourself in the history of its houses and palaces located on the embankments and main streets of the pre-revolutionary city.

Studying the routes, you will be able to find out:

- in honor of what the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood was built and why its construction dragged on for 24 years;
- how exactly the robbery in Fonarny Lane took place, which went down in history as one of the most daring in the Russian Empire;
- in which houses did the heroes of Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel "Crime and Punishment" live;
- where and how did the empire of Carl Faberge originate and why did it fade away so quickly;
- what happened to the "Russian Rockefellers", the Nobel brothers, and where their oil production partnership was located.

All this and more - in our new author's guide!
