Tips from locals
Take a break and visit this island famed for it's historical dacha houses set in parkland. Not many non- Russian tourist know of it, well worth a look. Filming of Russian Sherlock Holmes took place here.
You can have walk on Elagin Island, have a boat trip and also you can have a glance at Elagin Palace at the same time in the same place. That's georgeous.
Simply the best park in St. Petersburg. It's big and beautiful, you can chill under the trees, row on a boat and feed the squirrels. Lots of sporting activities are available too.
