Maritime Victory Park


The Maritime Victory Park was opened in the 20th century, after the end of World War II. The park is dedicated to the victory over Nazi Germany in the Second World War which itself should be very interesting to those who visit Russia. The park is a memorial and the most popular entertainment center of St. Petersburg. The park offers various kinds of attractions, as well as restaurants offering dishes of traditional Russian cuisine. The park is also an important sporting center, where athletes train.  Very good hotels in St. Petersburg located around Victory park.

The central avenue of the park leads to the statue of Sergei Kirov, after whom the stadium of the park is named. The central avenue of the park is decorated with flowers, which are very beautiful.

In 1966 the Alley of Friendship was founded in the Park. Delegates from different countries around the world when St. Petersburg  travel come there and plant a tree. Near each tree there is a granite plaque indicating the city for which it was planted.
