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.
