Information about St. Petersburg

 

St. Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It is often referred to as the Venice of the North or the Paris of the East, but its beauty is really a brand all its own. From the White Nights festival during the mysterious summer twilight to top theater and ballet productions and concerts on magical winter evenings, the city offers a vibrant cultural life that is second to none.

 

Attractions in St. Petersburg overwhelm even the most seasoned travelers. From the State Hermitage Museum and the Mariinsky Theater to splendid suburban palaces and dozens of smaller museums, today's St. Petersburg is here to explore and enjoy

 

At 300, St. Petersburg is young by European standards, yet the city has an impressive history. From the times of Peter I through the Siege of Leningrad, the city has lived a dramatic and rich life.
