St Petersburg Helicopter Tours
Experience Breath-Taking Views of Russia's Northern Capital

---

Our St Petersburg helicopter tours can be summed up in one word – spectacular!

Seeing the ornate and colorful roof tops of St Petersburg's historical buildings from the sky might not be the most inexpensive way to tour the city, but for those of you who don't mind the extra expense, it's worth it!

A sweeping aerial view of the Imperial city offer you a nice chance to see many important landmarks while looking down on a landscape that's made up of beautiful rivers, canals, islands and bridges that connect all of St Petersburg. The view of the top of the Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood, St. Isaac's Cathedral, or the Winter Palace are an architectural masterpiece that can only be described as breathtaking!

There are five different types of St Petersburg Helicopter Tours to choose from.

The tours focus primarily on sights over the central part of the city; Tsarskoe Selo with its amazing Catherine Palace and elaborate parks and gardens; Peterhof with its famous Grand Palace and park complex, also known as the Russian Versailles; and other interesting places which once were the residences of the Romanov Tzars.

Each helicopter can host from a minimum of 3 passengers up to 7 passengers maximum, and the tour lasts 30mins or 1hour max, depending on the route chosen.

Once you're up in the sky, you won't only enjoy a flight that takes your breath away and makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck, but also, you’ll see the city of St Petersburg from a different perspective, which in my view is the best one.
