Moscow - St. Petersburg 24 Hour Roundtrip, City Highlight Tour in 4K

Skip to 03:22 to enjoy a relaxing 4K Tour / Montage of Saint Petersburg's most famous sights and attractions! It's every bit like exploring the city on your own, but faster!

What was supposed to be a quick work trip to St.Petersburg grew into a rather challenging video idea - is it possible to see all the sights of Saint Petersburg on foot in the span of a day? What if the day starts in Moscow? And what if you need to get back home before 24 hours tick by? The short answer to all these questions is yes... If you get a bit creative.

I invite you to follow along as I take on the Northern Capital, as it's often called in Russia. The trip, by car, would take eight hours. By train- a little over ten. A quick flight turns into a five hour ordeal given airport security and traffic.

Thankfully, the Sapsan Bullet train gave me just the head start I needed to "speedrun" Saint Petersburg. When everything was said and done, I was back at home exactly 22 hours after I started, having traveled 1400 km by train and 32km by foot. I won't go into how many cups of coffee it took to fuel this random act of tourism.

I managed to capture all the most famous sights Saint Petersburg has to offer, but didn't venture inside any of them, with the exception of St. Isaacs Cathedral and its Observation Deck. The route I chose turned into a pretty good "Meet the City" kind of tour. Some of the footage I captured is really breathtaking, and I certainly hope you enjoy watching the sights of St. Pete as much as I enjoyed filming them. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch!

If you happen to be in Saint Petersburg for just a day, don't fret - you have all the time you need to see... Everything! If you have questions about the city or how to get around it, let me know.
