If you have already explored all the facades along Nevsky, visited the main museums, and attended a couple of theaters, it's time to discover another side of Petersburg and get acquainted with the life of shabby courtyards and the iconic establishments of the creative youth. Behind the dazzling facades of the main street in Petersburg, life does not end. On the contrary, often the most fascinating and curious things happen in gloomy courtyards and narrow side streets. Yes, it can be dirty here, there are smells of garbage, plaster is peeling off, and you may encounter drunks. But it is in such unremarkable places that the guide Sergey Goncharov, author of the book "An Informal Guide to Life in Petersburg," will reveal to you the true gems of the cultural life of the Northern capital. You will visit unique art centers and places described by Dovlatov. During the tour, you will learn about what local residents live for, what they talk about, and how they entertain themselves. Of course, there will also be amusing anecdotal stories and tales.
