Dine and Cruise at Volga Volga Restaurant in Saint Petersburg, Russia


With a system of rivers and canals running through Saint Petersburg, seeing the city from the water allows a different perspective in observing the resplendence of the metropolis. There are the usual boat tours that can be taken along the water but what can really be fascinating is dining while cruising along Neva, the largest river that flows along most of the center of the city. Volga Volga, a part of the Ginza Project, is a restaurant on a double-deck riverboat that's tastefully furnished for diners who want something particularly elegant and relaxing at the same time. 




Surrounded with panoramic glass windows, the main dining room on the lower deck is outfitted with wooden parquet, gray velvet chairs, large lamps and white linens on the tables that exudes a relaxed and refined atmosphere. The open-air observation deck instead is outfitted with outdoor tables and couches, throw pillows and blankets where al fresco dining can be a spectacular experience in putting together a breathtaking voyage seeing some of Saint Petersburg's important palaces and bridges while eating. With the one-hour trip, you can see the Dvortsoviy (Palace Bridge), Troitskiy (Trinity Bridge), Blagoveschenskiy (Annunciation Bridge), Winter Palace and Peter and Paul Fortress.
