St Petersburg, Sat and Sun

[Knolmom]

Celebrity Eclipse ports in St. Petersburg on a Saturday and Sunday. Can anyone tell me what palaces, museums or churches are closed or have restricted entry on Saturday and Sunday. We intend to take a private tour, but would like to know about our limits in advance.

Thank you. We are preparing an itinerary for a private 2 day tour. Just wanted to see our limitations.

I would say all the major tour companies in St Petersburg, if they say you will visit a certain venue like a museum, they all know when they are open and closed and will adjust any tour to make sure you see what you are supposed to see. If there is something in particular, that you want to see, you need to ask the tour company how they would handle that.

 

I believe just about every venue is open on the weekends.

 

Cheers
