The Roof Saint Petersburg

An observation deck

Arseny from Saint Petersburg

About me The more I travel, the more I like my hometown. Having founded a small translation agency in St. Petersburg, I also work with some other international companies in Europe (mainly in Germany). I really like it when people from abroad visit my country and my city and not only for specific events like the World Cup, but also for new experiences. Why Saint Pete...
""The Roof" in Saint Petersburg is one of the best viewpoints over the centre of the city, the yards and facades (and what's behind them!)"

Ligovsky prospect – one of the busiest and most crowded places in St. Petersburg. All the people are running and the noise of thousands of cars forces you to speak very loud or even shout!

Business centres, offices, shopping malls, restaurants, eateries, coffee shops, bars, cinemas, schools, sport clubs, creative clusters – it’s just never ending action!

Why not to look at it from 27 meters high? At least, the air is fresher ;)

As a Petersburger, I really like our roofs and am constantly search for other viewing platforms. "The Roof“ is located located on top of creative cluster Loft Project Floors.

The good thing about this platform is that you not only see the city panorama and the beautiful sights of the city, but also the busy Ligovsky prospect and the city’s famous yards, the "facade" of the city and what’s behind. I always find it very inspiring when I can see all the sides of the city. In this case I can feel the soul of St. Petersburg, its history. Maybe these will be your own thoughts too, or maybe you'll feel something different…

Anyway, you can relax on "The Roof", order a soft drink, some snacks and just enjoy a nice view from a height of 27 metres. The roof is equipped with artificial turf and pillows.

Saint Petersburg Spotter Arseny

About me The more I travel, the more I like my hometown. Having founded a small translation agency in St. Petersburg, I also work with some other international companies in Europe (mainly in Germany). I really like it when people from abroad visit my country and my city and not only for specific events like the World Cup, but also for new experiences. Why Saint Petersburg Because absolutely every building in the city center has its own unique history, the history of the people who lived there during different periods of time… It creates a special atmospher...
