Harley Days 2017 starts in Saint Petersburg in August
Join us on the guided tour to the St. Petersburg Harley Days 2017
It starts again at the end of July, then we drive in a convoy to the Harley Days in Saint Petersburg . There are two routes via the Scandinavian capitals Copenhagen, Stockholm and Helsinki, or by boat from Travemünde to Helsinki and then on to our friends in Saint Petersburg. It is probably the northernmost major Harley Days event in Europe, the metropolis is one of the most beautiful cities you can visit in Europe, it has countless magnificent buildings and museums, as well as a great Harley event in the middle of the city.
Hospitality is very important here, very friendly hosts and the journey here is something very special. On the Nordland route we spend the night in Copenhagen to see the beautiful city, the route takes us over the famous Öresund Bridge towards Stockholm, we spend the night in Vaxjö, which is in southern Sweden, just to see more of the landscape. Once we are in Stockholm, we can look forward to a great crossing with the Silja Line . These ferries have nothing to do with a normal crossing, there are great restaurants and a shopping mile here. It is particularly nice to enjoy the exit from Stockholm on the upper outside deck. These large ships from the Silja Line have a special flair.
The Baltic Sea route goes from the Hanseatic city of Lübeck by ferry directly to Helsinki, where we will meet with the Nordland route. We are picked up there by our Finnish friends to drive towards the Russian border, where our Russian friends are already waiting for us. After we have passed the border crossing, we continue towards Saint Petersburg. The roads there are mostly good, there are potholes, but we are used to that on our roads, but here they can be a bit bigger, you have to be prepared for that be.
You need a visa for the trip and if you travel with your own bike you have to export it once and import it back into Europe. If you are doing the trip for the first time, you should definitely use the service offered by this trip.
An event that last year even had a night parade, which would be unimaginable for us, that the Harley's would parade through the middle of the city in the evening, is possible here! It looks great when the machines, some of which are strangely lit, are driving on these wide streets.
There are still places available, if you still want to be there in 2017, you can get more information calling 040-494111 or on the website www.greatestrides.de
