Tours

Our unique approach to the idea of tourism doesn mean, that our tours are only for architects. St-Petersburg is just a key to Russia for you. We transformed the Window to Europe into the Door, through which we acquaint you with Northern Russia and pave the way to other regions of the country and beyond its borders. We visit various striking places which are undoubtedly worth to be seen: big cities and small villages - to feel a charm of places through getting acquainted not only with architecture, but also with local people, traditional cuisine and national features...

It is possible to suggest us an idea of the tour of your dream and we will create a unique program to meet your interests! For further inquiries, please, contact info@art-tour.spb.ru

Состоялось горнолыжное путешествие к вершинам Пиреней.

Возвращаясь, мы посетили уже знакомую и близкую архитектуру Antoni Gaudi, Mies van der Rohe, Santiago Calatrava в столице Каталонии Барселоне.

Nepal, 2008 (spring)

18 March 2008 - 01 April 2008

Boiling Kathmandu life: might of temples and weightlessness of dwellings, eluding reality and mysterious history. Light constructions and grandiose mountains, fragility of any regime and eternal dominion of ice. Life bustle at the background of Himalayas: Maoist base, Tibet refugees camp, royal power unsteadiness – vanity of vanities… Bright multicoloured garments in contrast with striking poverty, life sparkling on the miserable ruins of the kingdom, harsh carabineer’s march down Kathmandu’s pavements, naughty boys – young buddhist monks, destitution of retirement home and careless smiles of pupils, shining like the tops of the mountains of their amazing country.
