Our 9-day St. Petersburg and Karelia tour combines the palaces and canals of St. Petersburg and the wooden architecture, traditional culture, and beautiful nature of the Republic of Karelia. Starting in Peter the Great’s elegant northern capital, you’ll journey north by train to Petrozavodsk on the stunning Lake Onega. From here, the capital of Russian Karelia, you’ll discover the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kizhi Pogost, an enclosure of wooden buildings that includes the magnificent 22-domed Church of the Transfiguration. Other highlights include exploring the taiga forests and lakes of the Kivach Nature Reserve, visiting the Marcial Waters Resort founded by Peter the Great, and experiencing the republic’s unique mix of Russian and Finnish culture.
