Send a request

DURATION: 1 h 30 min

 

During the walking tour we visit the addresses of the heroes of “Crime and Punishment” written by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. We are going to see the houses in which Raskolnikov, Sonya Marmeladova, the old usurer woman Alyona Ivanovna lived; the place where the official Marmeladov was trampled by horses, and where his wife Katerina Ivanovna walked with her children forcing them to sing street songs. We count 730 fatal steps which made Raskolnikov going to the “case”.

The guide will meet your private party for the excursion in the lobby of your hotel. Then we go to Sennaya Square to start our journey. In the XIX century it was the most criminal part of St. Petersburg. We walk through the former slums, streets, bridges, yards, mentioned in different scenes of the novel, and feel the atmosphere in which the idea of the murder, the most famous in world literature, was conceived by Raskolnikov. The excursion finishes by St. Nicholas Naval Cathedral. From there we can walk back to Sadovaya Street and, going along it, you will approach Sennaya Square and metro station where we started.

  • Sennaya Square ensemble
  • The area of “Vyazemskaya lavra”
