More
than 70 rivers and canals wind their way through the city, with
around 400 bridges crossing them. All the bridges over the Neva
can be raised to allow large vessels pass through at night
between April and October, when the river is navigable. At that
same time various pleasure boats ply their way around St.
Petersburg - the so-called "river trams"; they follow
a host of different routes, so it is possible to go from one
boat to another and see all St. Petersburg's rivers and canals,
thus viewing our city's main sights from the water. The looming
silhouettes of the bridges, the grandeur of the waterways, the
granite embankments with their various piers and slipways, the
18th and 19th century palaces and parks on the banks of the Neva
and the canals, architectural landmarks in the form of the domes
and spires of churches and cathedrals, visible from a long way
off - all this contributes to the unique appearance of the
"Venice of the North", one of the world's most
beautiful cities.
