Description
In St. Petersburg (Russia) water is as much a part of the city's make-up as brick or stone. Built across the marshlands of the Neva River delta, St. Petersburg is interlaced with hundreds tributaries and canals with a total length of 300 kilometers and over 800 bridges crossing them.
Kryukov canal is the 1 kilometer must-see walk in the city. It was built in the 18th century to connect the water arteries in the city. Many of St. Petersburg's most impressive attractions stand on its banks - such sites as New Holland, the Mariinsky Theater, and the bell tower of St. Nicholas Naval Cathedral.
