From 1703 to the present, more than 10 thousand toponyms have appeared in the city on the Neva. Some of them were destined for a life limited in time; some, having celebrated their 300th anniversary, continue to live today. The names of streets, squares, alleys and embankments alone exceed 1,400 units. Their stories are extremely fascinating. They are rooted in urban folklore, impudent and rollicking, emotional and laconic - not in the eye, but in the eye... You will learn how Nevsky has changed over the years, get acquainted with interesting facts from the history of the Tauride, Alexander and Summer Gardens, folklore of famous St. Petersburg districts and you will be imbued with the special atmosphere of mystery and strict understatement of the Northern capital.
