Immerse yourself completely in the wonderful world of secret Petersburg. Your tour will start from Kazan Cathedral, the main Masonic temple in the city.

Then you'll make your way to Palace Square and see the place where the sky descends to the earth, and the earthly ascends to heaven.

During the discovery of the first shipyard of the Russian Empire, you will feel what the purpose of Peter the Great's Masonic philosophy was. Enjoy a pleasant walk along one of the most beautiful embankments of St. Petersburg's main river, where you will have the opportunity to "whisper" with the tsar-carpenter and make a cherished wish.
