Saint Petersburg & Russian Visa
We
are still waiting the confirmation of availability of slots in Pulkovo. They
have received our offical request and reviewing it, we are expecting to get a
confirmation or refusal in the following week or two.
For
our two days stay in Saint Petersburg, we consider organizing group tours to:
A)
The Peterhof Palace (aka the "Russian Versailles"), the imperial
palace of Peter the Great.
B)
Tsarskoe selo & Catherine Palace, the summer residence of the Russian
tsars.
For
the Russian visa, every participant has to apply to the Russian embassy or
consulate in the country of his/her residence. The invitation (aka the visa
support letter) from a hotel or a tour agency is required. To facilitate this
process, we've engaged an accredited tour agency in Saint Petersburg which will
provide the required visa support letters. As soon as we receive completed
inscription forms (see below) we will request the agency to issue visa support
letters.
