New Holland Island

Nature4.7 · 2 1674.2 · 549≈ 1 h 8 minFree entry

An 18th-century man-made island shaped like a bagel, built under Peter I for storing ship timber and ringed by red-brick warehouses along canals. Closed to the public for two centuries, it reopened in the 2010s as one of St Petersburg's most polished parks: lawns, a playground, lectures, an ice rink in winter and an open-air stage in summer. Entry is free.

Highlights

  • Red-brick warehouses lining the canals
  • A closed military site for two centuries
  • Ice rink in winter, open-air stage in summer
