Excursion starts from “Vladimirskaya” metro station

Description:
Excursion is devoted to unusual and not so well-known sights of St. Petersburg. These “pearls” are located in the heart of the city. Monument to a blind person on Socialist str. And monument to an invisible man in St. Petersburg State Institute of Technology. A marvelous chess house on Zagorodny av. In addition to the usual chess on the floor there are walls with chess mosaic.
And what do You know about “Yard of Spirits”? About “Tower of gryphon”? About “Yard of Smart masses”, “Muruzi House”, “Mosaic yard”, “Chess yard”… I guess nothing. And they do exist… They resemble the pearls of a suddenly torn necklace scattered in thick grass. Go find and pick them… You’ll go by, won’t notice them… But we have still found and collected them all into some threads of tours, “pearls” of Piter. These are never included to a “standard enlistment” of a tourist, they aren’t marked at the official city maps, but they exist and the more the better, let them please the eye, touch the soul and waken the imagination…
