Why is the rooftop rendezvous so romantic?

Viewing platform is located on the roof of the building which used to belong to the Basilica of St. Catherine of Alexandria. It offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the city from an unusual perspective normally available to drone operators only. So, you can enjoy a stunning view of the historic centre of St. Petersburg and see many renowned landmarks. You can see them perfectly well, and yet, the landmarks are not always easily recognized due to an unusual perspective, that’s when an exciting “guess what” game begins.

You’ll be above the whole of St. Petersburg, and there’ll be just the two of you. That kind of unusual combination creates memories that will stay with you for a long time. Besides that, you will have pictures and videos to take home and show your friends. From time to time, you’ll watch them again and relive exciting emotions.

Telling your dear one “I love you” on the rooftop is unusual and romantic not only for the city visitors, but also for the locals, as not many of them had a chance to be on the top tier of the city.

The view from the observation deck is nothing like the one that opens from windows or balconies of multi-storey buildings. The reason is that there are no residential high rises in the city centre, they are situated in the city outskirts. Besides, being on a viewing platform creates totally different impressions. It’s a little higher than the roofs, so no other buildings, except for the cupolas of the nearby Basilica of St. Catherine, interfere with the view, that’s why the latter is so good.
