Join us on a fascinating literary journey through the streets of St. Petersburg, following the footsteps of Rodion Raskolnikov from Crime and Punishment!

We take you through key locations from the novel: Sennaya Square, Kokushkin Bridge, Brinko Lane, and the Yusupov Garden—revealing their history, symbolism, and their connection to Dostoevsky’s life and works.
