The Yelagin Island is a haven of peace filled with poetry and nature. Whenever I have a little free time, it's one of the places in Saint Petersburg where I particularly like to escape for several hours, surrounded by majestic trees, calm stretches of water, hyperactive squirrels, enchanting birdsong, and gentle gulf winds.

The New Holland is a trendy green zone to rest for young people and families, enjoyable all the year, though especially in the summer. If you want to discover not a place of tourism but more a place of typical Saint Petersburg life, take some sun, have a nice lunch and enjoy your time, make a stop !
