A city of amazing architecture | Colorful buildings on a canal |
Peter the Great modeled St Petersburg on cities of the West, but it still has all the flavor of Russia. Palaces and monuments seem to appear at every turn, as well as beautiful onion-domed churches. Set on rivers and canals, the city is just one big photo-op. I found it a bit overwhelming, but beautiful and fascinating at the same time. |

Hi, Diana! Thanks for sharing your impressions with us here! Fine page! | evaanna Sun Nov 18, 2007 12:12 UTC
Last time I visited the city was 37 years ago. Some of the places you describe were closed then. Time to re-visit, I may use your accommodation tip for that. Interesting page with beautiful pictures. | iaint Mon Nov 12, 2007 21:28 UTC
more great pix; hermitage is quite something; my hosts gave me a 2 hour slot to see it - not quite enough! | HORSCHECK Sat Nov 10, 2007 18:08 UTC
