St.-Petersburg initially was under construction on water - on the river Neva, its sleeves and channels. Historical quarters of Petersburg are located on numerous islands in delta of Neva at its confluence of Gulf of Finland of Baltic Sea.

The general extent of the river of 74 kilometers, on city territory - of 32 kilometers.

Neva is involuntarily perceived as the main prospectus of city.

The rivers are connected with Neva and channels of Petersburg all. From it Fontanka, Small Neva originate Greater Nevka. The Sink follows from Fontanka, from the Sink Griboedov's channel begins (was Cathrine’s), the Sink with Neva connect the Winter flute and, below on current, New-Admiral the channel. Hooks the channel connects the Sink, Griboedov's channel and Fontanka.

This list far is not full.

From water the city is perceived unusually: palaces, cathedrals, houses as if float towards, and granite quays make impression, that the city is lifted on a high pedestal. All quays of Petersburg have the special color. On Neva they parade also are solemn, on twisting coast of the Sink and Griboedov's channel are fanned by silence and lyricism. A surprising variety and charm give to city the prospects opening on crossing of city highways with waterways.
