To see some of the most important sights of the center of St. Petersburg, you can take a trip around the city on the tourist tram T1.
The regular tram route runs along the excursion route and is called the "First tourist". The tram is assigned the number T1.
Tram T1 has a red color and is a replica (that is, a copy) of the unique LM-33 car, popularly nicknamed "American". Such trams carried residents and guests of Leningrad for 46 years: in the pre-war period, during the blockade and after the war until 1979.
The T1 tourist excursion tram has recreated the historic interior with wooden decor, slatted floors and a seat for the conductor at the middle door. The place of the conductor separated by a meter-long partition from the entrance door.
The meter marks were once used to determine the conditions of travel for children: above the meter-pay for the ride, below-go for free. Currently, the rule of free travel on the road does not apply. And the partition itself is only part of the tram's interior and a fun fun for tourists.
