We’ve all heard of the infamous Bond movie ‘From Russia With love’, but here at David Charles we think ‘Russia With the Kids’ has a certain ring to it too, especially if you’re wondering where to take your little ones on holiday this summer. Home to beautiful architectural surroundings, waterside views, not to mention some of the finest opera and ballet theatres in the world, from a cultural perspective St. Petersburg really is a place where everybody can afford to enjoy life’s special moments.
While some of the city’s attractions are inevitably catered towards adults, there is also an exciting choice of activities for kids as well… always a bonus for doting parents looking to book a vacation packed full of family entertainment and fun. With a wide selection of zoos, oceanariums, theme parks and even circus events happening all year round, there’s plenty to keep young children and teens occupied.
And let’s not forget magnificent venues like the Marlinsky Theatre, which on any night of the week showcases theatre and opera shows, as well as must-see ballet performances. If your girls are interested in this sort of thing, or perhaps it’s their first theatre event? Either way it’s always a great idea to try new things and make sure everybody’s entertained. So if a theatre evening filled with culture, lights and luxury is on the cards for you and your daughters, why not take a trip to Russia’s very first David Charles Children’s Wear boutique for some well deserved retail therapy ahead of the big evening.
Tucked away inside the monumental KIDS Palace building on Moscow Road, this state of the art outlet for girls’ designer dresses is fast becoming the go-to shopping destination of central Russia. Step in store to discover a high end selection of David Charles dresses, accessories and jewellery pieces. Ambient chandeliers, elegant window displays, rails and shelves all help to display our handcrafted merchandise in a captivating fashion, so it’s definitely worth making a stop here if you and your girls are out and about in St. Petersburg anytime soon.
Whether its artisan fashion, gourmet cuisine or contemporary performance art on your family holiday agenda, when visiting St. Petersburg city centre there’s sure to be something delightful for everyone.
