You will get to know a special area of St. Petersburg at a special time of the year — Kolomna district is unique and ready to welcome you to a magical pre-New Year and Christmas atmosphere!

With the onset of winter, Nikolsky Dvor turns into a colorful fairground filled with comfort, where street activities coexist with the homely atmosphere of Christmas.

After St. Nicholas Rows, we will admire the grandeur of St. Nicholas Cathedral, head to Theater Square, the musical heart of the city, where there are two theaters, Mariinsky 1 and Mariinsky 2, the Conservatory building, as well as monuments to M.I. Glinka and N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov, whose operas are traditionally performed on New Year's Eve at the Mariinsky Theater. The premiere of Tchaikovsky's famous ballet «The Nutcracker» also took place on the stage of the Mariinsky Theatre in December 1892 and has not left the stage of the famous theater since.


On our way to New Holland, we will walk along Glinka Street, where many prominent figures of literature and art lived and rented apartments, then we will pass through the Kissing Bridge, which thanks to its name has become one of the most romantic places in the city.


So we come to New Holland, a place that combines history and modernity, where a New Year's fair, a Christmas market, an ice rink, a variety of cafes traditionally operate in winter and the atmosphere of a fabulous winter Petersburg reigns.
