Introduction

The Winter Palace Bridge, located next to the Winter Palace, is a transportation artery that connects the Vasilievsky Island across the Neva River. However, at night until 1am, the bridge will open to allow large ships to pass, offering Saint Petersburg's most distinctive "drawbridge" landscape. This unique scenery is rare in the downtown area and is worth a visit for tourists.
