“Scarlet Sails”: Where is the best place to watch? Where can you calmly watch the “Scarlet Sails” Where will the Scarlet Sails show be better seen
“Scarlet Sails” is undoubtedly a beautiful and spectacular phenomenon, and perhaps, having looked at it ten years ago, right now you will experience a strong desire to update your impressions. TV is not the best assistant in this matter. With your own eyes, it’s somehow more interesting. But if your age no longer allows one to suspect that you are an average graduate, then you most likely will not want to juggle your elbows in a crowd of spectacle-hungry people. You’re also unlikely to climb onto the roof of a jet ski, although they offer that too. the site decided to figure out whether it is possible to look at this annual phenomenon with comfort if you have already achieved something in life and can afford something more expensive than fake invitations to Dvortsovaya.
The ideal and probably the simplest option for those who want to look at the “Scarlet Sails” in comfort from the window of some cozy room would be to rent hotel room overlooking the Neva. The St. Petersburg Hotel, located on Pirogovskaya Embankment, could be perfect for this. But the option is so obvious that there are no empty rooms left in the hotel for a long time. It was necessary to reserve rooms at least a month or two in advance. But there is still the opportunity to book a table in the panoramic restaurant “Bering”, located in this hotel. The restaurant says that this can be done without prepayment, however, if the company is not very large. But a perfect view from a restaurant window at a show is not guaranteed.
Since things didn’t work out with the hotel, we decided to move to Palace Embankment, there are plenty of buildings there, and we’ll probably be able to negotiate with someone to admire the fireworks and a boat with bright sails passing along the Neva for a reasonable (or not so) fee.
Perhaps the first thing that the gaze of even a person who knows almost nothing about St. Petersburg (for example, who has just arrived in the city to admire the White Nights and “Scarlet Sails”) could be caught on is, of course, the Hermitage. From there, looking at “Scarlet Sails” is the sweetest thing. But, unfortunately, it closes at 18:00 - that's it. It is not possible to organize an evening visit or a night excursion. At least that's what we were told over the phone. Perhaps someone you know has other people who know someone who has different information. We don’t want to hint at anything, but we have to admit: the night watchmen (or what are they called? caretakers?) in the Hermitage can boast of the most magnificent view of the “Scarlet Sails”.
The next quite pleasant place to view could be the restaurant in the Palace of Grand Duke Vladimir, on Palace Embankment, 26. But it is already fully booked for the duration of “Scarlet Sails”. On the phone they say: there are no places at any price.
The House of Scientists of the Russian Academy of Sciences is also located at the same address, but its premises also cannot be rented in order to quietly observe what is happening in the Neva water area. Again, we are not hinting at anything, but becoming a scientist for one night would be just what we need.
Vash Address LLC is trying to sell the premises of the neighboring building for offices, but for some reason they are also not ready to rent out the empty rooms there for just one night.
The Taiga art space is located at 20 Dvortsovaya Embankment. Many creative shops, workshops, and even the studio of a radio station found refuge there. Surely one of them would not mind renting out a room that is not used at night. It turns out that this is also impossible: during the Scarlet Sails, all premises - according to a separate clause in the contract - are occupied by the owners of the building. Talk to them, they say.
The premises of the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts and the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping, located in houses No. 18 and No. 8 on Palace Embankment, are also not rented out even to very wealthy people. Maybe it's for the better.
In an attempt to find a suitable apartment in residential buildings on Palace Embankment, we contacted several agencies involved in daily rental apartments There they threw up their hands and answered: “Nothing about “Scarlet Sails”.” If we had gotten around to it a little earlier, the choice of apartments with windows overlooking the Neva would have been quite wide.
The building at the very beginning of the embankment is occupied by the St. Petersburg Institute of Culture and Arts. the site also asked its representatives a question about the possibility of renting premises. It turned out that everything is possible, but only purely theoretically. The process of coordinating a lease usually takes about six months, that is, it was worth worrying about this issue around December.
You could sit down somewhere Peter and Paul Fortress, for example, in “Koryushka” - there is both a view and comfort, but on June 20 the restaurant is not open, as the administrator politely informs over the phone “due to safety precautions”. But you can try to take a seat in “Eurasia” on the Makarov embankment, however, table reservations are not available during “Scarlet Sails”. But the place itself is open, and if you can somehow manage to cope with the others who want to watch the show, you can get a seat.
Not much less pretentious than the Hermitage and Peter and Paul Fortress, the Exchange building on the V.O. Spit is also not an easy option. Technically, the Exchange is empty now, and there should be only guards there. But, of course, you can at least ask.
Since it is not so easy to calmly watch the reddening sails and fireworks from land, it seems that the last option remains - to watch from the water. This is also not an easy task: during the graduates’ holiday, the Neva water area is closed. But companies specializing in water transport rental claim that the show will be seen from Smolnaya Embankment, where the ship can approach. To do this, you can pay for a two-hour boat trip, which will cost 2.5 thousand rubles per person. True, the ship will have to be shared with others who want to see what is happening and hope that they will not be the same cheerful graduates.
Those who find this option not wonderful enough will still be able to rent an entire ship at a price of 7 thousand rubles per hour (although they will give it for at least 4 hours) or even a yacht for thirty thousand per hour (with the same minimum period rent). True, employees of companies renting out yachts and boats hint in every possible way that someone else can take the transport at any moment and you need to hurry. Either the boats are really running out, or experienced sales specialists are trying to persuade the client to make a decision as quickly as possible.
But for those who suffer from excess money and do not like water, there is another bad news: watch the “ Scarlet sails» from a bird's eye view, sitting comfortably in a helicopter cockpit, you won't be able to. The reason for this will be the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, which coincides with the alumni holiday, during which the airspace over the city is closed.
It turns out that those who remembered the existence of the holiday only now, regardless of financial capabilities, do not have many options. In any case, you will either have to jostle on the embankment, or fight for a place in one of the few restaurants still available for booking, or watch what is happening from the water. Or maybe it’s better to wait until next year and then, in December, start negotiating the rental of premises on Palace Embankment.
