Berlin-Moscow / Europe
Guided Photo Tour

Peterhof, Saint Petersburg

After the Great success of our Special Event Tour in June 2017 we follow many wishes and scheduled further photo tours from Berlin to Moscow - combined with sightseeing tours of historic locations such as Gdansk, Riga, Warsaw, Saint Petersburg (here we will also see the midsummer sun in Russia) and Moscow. We start in Berlin, the German capital - in style in front of the historic Brandenburger Tor - and our destination is the Red Square in Moscow with a group photo and the Basilius Cathedral as a backdrop.

The Route:

Gdansk / Danzig

During the day we will take a sightseeing tour of Gdansk and spend the night in this city full of history.

arrow down Day 4: Gdansk (PL) > Vilnius (LT)

Vilnius

Our photo tour leads us into the capital of Lithuania, to Vilnius. From the 16th century, Italian master builders created here numerous baroque buildings and so the old town of Vilnius is today among the largest in Eastern Europe and was declared by the UNESCO as a world cultural heritage and carries also the surname "Rome of the East".

Riga

From Vilnius we travel on towards the north to Latvia, the capital Riga.

Tallinn

Today we drive to Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. It lies on the Gulf of Finland of the Baltic Sea.

Newskj Prospect, Saint Petersburg

A further highlight on our adventure trip is quite surely the visit to Saint Petersburg, the second largest city of Russia after Moscow and the fourth largest city of Europe. Due to the location during the summer solstice at night it stays quite light.

arrow down Day 9: Saint Petersburg (RUS)

Peterhof, Saint Petersburg

We will take an extensive sightseeing tour of the former capital of the Russian Empire and briefly named city Leningrad. Saint Petersburg is a culture center important throughout Europe with famous sightseeings like the Peterhof, the Amber Room in Catherine Palace, the Church of the Savour and the main avenue Newskj Prospect. The historic inner city is a world cultural heritage of the UNESCO and is exceeded in this regard worldwide only of Venice.

Smolensk, Russia

Even if we head back on our return journey westwards to Berlin, so awaits us some more great highlights such as our destination, the town lying near the border of Belarus, Smolensk. Smolensk was mentioned in 863 the first time as a city in a document. It's location in the Kievan Rus running along the Dnieper trade route brought it early to the rank of a trade town.

arrow down Day 16: Smolensk (RUS) > Minsk (BLR)

Minsk

We cross the boundary to Belarus and stopover in Minsk, the capital and at the same time the largest city of Belarus. Well worth seeing in Minsk are mainly the Old Town, formerly known as "uptown" to the Orthodox Holy Spirit Cathedral, the old monastery of the Bernadine Sisters from 1628 and the Town Hall rebuilt after original historic plans.

You learn more about the look for graphic accents and different perspectives as well as the use of different focal lengths. Finally, it is subtleties that lead to an individual photograph.

And, of course, we will discuss the photo shoots of the participants in the tour group and award the best photo at the end of a Reuthers Photo Tour <<<
