About Saint Petersburg
Upcoming Tour:
St. Petersburg, the city of white nights, is by far one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Created by Peter the Great in 1703 to be his "window on Europe", St Petersburg combines its fascinating Russian heritage with a distinctly European outlook. Considered the cultural heart of modern day Russia, St. Petersburg is rapidly regaining its reputation as one of the Great Cities of Europe. Within easy reach of the capitals of Europe and Scandinavia St. Petersburg now offers its visitors luxury accommodation, expert destination management companies and international travel services.
Culturally and economically it is the most important city in Russia. With its uniform Baroque and Neoclassical architecture this "Venice of the North", as it is frequently called, is one of the most unique and exquisite cities in Europe.
This historic city sprawls across and around the delta of the Neva River, at the end of the Baltic Sea, known as the Gulf of Finland. The Neva first flows north and then turns west across the middle of the city. The area spreading back from the Winter Palace and the Admiralty on the south bank is truly the heart of the city. The skyline is dominated by the golden dome of St. Isaac's Cathedral. The main street is called Nevskiy Prospect where many of the city's sights, restaurants, and shops can be found.
Upon the decision of UNESCO St. Petersburg has been recognizes as a Monument of the Works Culture.
