**Exact itinerary may differ, depending on the guide and the date.
Learn about the heroism of the defenders of Leningrad in the 900 day Siege. For most of the Siege, there was no land link between the city and the mainland. Food supplies in Leningrad were limited to almost non-existence, forcing the citizens to eat glue, rats and anything that they could possibly find. Until today, the exact numbers of victims are not known, but are said to be exceeding 1 million people. Find out about the Road of Life across Lake Ladoga – the lifeline that saved the city.
With a map and explanations provided by the guide, you’ll have a better understanding of the development of the war in the region: where exactly the Soviet, German and Finnish positions were, what the inner defence lines of Leningrad looked like, where the Siege was broken by the Soviet troops.
