One of the following Slums Walks may take place on this tour. Meet the guide or email us for details.
Shkapina. In 2003, the streets west of the Baltic Station were chosen as the location for filming Der Untergang (The Downfall), a German movie which shows the last days of the Third Reich. The producers said there was little they had to change to make it look like the ruined Berlin in the spring of 1945. Shkapina is hugely popular today with the city's art community - abandoned buildings quickly get squatted and converted into studios.
Petrograd Side. The glamour of Bolshoy Prospekt, one of the city's main shopping districts, hides a lovely collection of back streets with crumbling art nouveau houses and quaint backyards. Easily the most charming residential corner of the city (also home of the first techno club in Russia), north of the Fortress.
Ligovka. A 19th century coachmen's neighbourhood, today Ligovka has the best collection of alternative clubs and cheap watering holes in St. Petersburg, a great number of small museums, plus unbeatable industrial views.
