Sightseeing
Head towards the Neva and you will see a crowd of people around the embankment wall. Look down, and you will see the little goldfinch bird statue called Chizhik-Pyzhik. Join the queue to try to land a small coin on the statue for luck. Local students used to wear the same colours as our bird.
