Which will celebrate it's 300th anniversary the next year, was founded by the Russian empiror Peter 1, or Peter the Great. He called this city 'window to Europe'. Anf that's true because he invited architectures from many countries, especially from Italy, to elaborated projects of the building. This is reflected in the architecture, which keeps the features of many styles - barocco, classicism, etc.
It's really remarkable place to go,, if you ever go or planning tour to Russia, you definitely must see this city.
St.Petersburg is known by its white nights season. It starts in late May and lasts at the end of June or early July. Stunning beauty of the city at night with a daylight, looks mysterious.
- Pros:architecture, white nights, ice-cream
- Cons:humidity and tourists:)))
- In a nutshell:The best of Russia

Hi Inga! Lovely St Petersburg page, beautiful architecture!
There are so many beautiful cathedrals there... I'm glad they have been preserved..
I'd love to travel to here one day! Great pictures!
Beautiful city (the canals especially)! Still on my future list! Ukraine is before hehe!
Nice tips, I'll be there in October, thanks :-)
I'll be in St.Petersburg in June, can't wait to see the city and white nights.
I'd like to go there some day...it must be a great place to visit...
I was in St. Petersburg to, but it now 11 years ago... must be changed a lot since my visit. But I liked it even that time. The Hermitage and St. Isaacs Cathedral was phenominous and I enjoyed the afternoon tea in the Grand Hotel Europe!
WOW!! another place on my wish list of places to go. Thanks for the photos and info.
Lucky you! I'm hoping to visit this summer. It should be fun to witness its 300th anniversary celebration. Do u know where I could get a list of the upcoming events? Thanks!
