The
Town Despite its
youth, compared to most other European and
Russian cities, St. Petersburg has become one of
the most exciting and exquisite places on earth.
It combines what we call the " Russian soul"
with a splendid artistic background. When
designing and building St. Petersburg, two
centuries of Czars spared no expense. The great
variety of imperial palaces, churches and
museums of St. Petersburg showcase the greatest
achievements of the world architecture in the
XIV-XVIII centuries. Architecture is only one of
the many highlights of this city. Priceless
collections and interiors adorn numerous
imperial residences and museums, and convey an
atmosphere of "The golden age of nobility". The
various names given to the city prove its
opulence and beauty: "Venice of the North",
"Northern Palmyra", "Russian's Crown Jewel" and
"The window on the West". |

It's simply
impossible to describe St. Petersburg in one
word.We strongly recommend viewing the opening of
St. Petersburg's bridges at nighttime. Huge and
extremely heavy bridge constructions are lifted
every night with ease. It's truly a sight to
behold. Also, the river and canal tour is a "must
see.". The embankments constructed from granite
provide an unforgettable backdrop to the classical
and baroque buildings lining St. Petersburg's
elegant canals.One must also mention St.
Petersburg's guides.
Their English is
excellent and they are very knowledgeable about
this historic city. St. Petersburg hosts a
variety of theater and music programs which can
satisfy every taste and mood. Peter the Great
invited the first theater companies in 1710.
Since then, St. Petersburg has become the ballet
capital of the world, offering classical and
modern performances at comparatively low rates.
Peter The Great turned St. Petersburg into one
of the main European centers of art, education
and religion. You will not only see
extraordinary orthodox cathedrals and churches,
but many mosques, synagogues, Catholic and
Lutheran cathedrals as well. Due to this fact
St. Petersburg dwellers are very hospitable and
polite, for the most part, very tolerant of all
religions and creeds.Outside of St. Petersburg
you will find the imperial summer residences and
gardens, in which Russian birch trees and pine
forests flourish. Russians call these
palaces the "Pearl Necklace". Baroque and
classical palaces, medieval castles and Chinese
pavilions, French or English gardens are all
located a few kilometers outside of the
city. At the end of your tour day, there is
