Traveling with children forces parents to choose a hotel to stay even more carefully. If you are planning such a trip, pay attention to the following hotels:

- Admiralty district, which has many green parks and historical locations;
- Vasileostrovsky district with stunning river and sea views;
- the Petrograd side, which is a symbol of the emergence of a new capital in the Russian Empire.
- Russian Railways Museum: closed on Tuesdays, children under 7 years old free;
