As part of developing more offers for tourists, St. Petersburg government plans to legalise roof excursions and to make them secure. 

      Currently existing roof excursions are very popular but not authorised. This leads to much lower security measures. The city government has decided to attract the help of city museums whose roofs may be used to create designated observation areas. 

      At present roof excursions in St. Petersburg cost between RUB 500 and 1000 (EUR12-25).
