Bridges opening schedule
St. Petersburg is possibly one of the unique cities in the world that every night is split in two parts (from the beginning of May till the middle of November – navigation period). It is because there are 13 bridges that cross the river Neva and at night they open to let large ships pass.
See below the bridges opening schedule.
