Tour to Russian St. Petersburg
Russian St. Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Every year thousands of people from different parts of the world come here to see with their own eyes famous architectural ensembles, historic monuments, magnificent cathedrals and parks.
St. Petersburg is often called “the Venice of the North”, “The Window on the West”, “Russia’s Crown Jewel”. These attempts to sum up St. Petersburg in a few words only scratch the surface, focusing on its history and its looks, and cannot fully convey the energy pulsating from the spires and waterways, beautiful palace facades. Once visited St. Petersburg you will be willing to return. A tour to St. Petersburg is always an exciting experience. The city offers a variety of theme tours. Take Literary St. Petersburg Tour to see the streets on which Dostoevsky’s Raskolnikov in the novel “Crime and Punishment” wandered, lived, murdered and hid his booty. See the famed Bronze Horseman, a monument to Peter the Great, which inspired Pushkin to write a poem about a man who lost his beloved one in one of the tragic floods and cursed the Emperor for ever founding St. Petersburg. The Musical St. Petersburg Tour offers unlimited possibilities to absorb the musical culture: form visiting the house museums of Russia’s legendary composers to seeing backstage of the famed Mariinsky Theatre and, of course, listening to musical works performed by Russia’s most accomplished musicians. Another popular theme tour is “St. Petersburg Gourmet Tour”. It is a great chance to mix sightseeing with tour of the city’s finest restaurants featuring traditional Russian specialties. Cuisine-oriented tours also include cooking master classes, caviar tasting, and visits to the sights like Royal Baths and Kitchen, Hermitage Pavilion in Peterhof, and Vodka museum.
There are many reasons to visit St. Petersburg, a city filled with cultural, historical, and architectural treasures. St. Petersburg is the largest business and research centre in the north-west of Russia. Every year the city hosts scores of international congresses, seminars and exhibitions.
One of the most popular times to visit St. Petersburg is the famed White Nights period lasting from May 15th to July 15th. Almost as quickly as dusk falls, it is replaced by the sunrise. Take advantage of the extra hours of daylight: see all of the landmarks, take a boat ride along canals and rivers or enjoy the late night dinner in the hall of one of the exquisite palaces. The White Nights in St. Petersburg is something to remember for a lifetime.
St. Petersburg is no less beautiful in winter than in the romantic period of the White Nights. Covered in a soft, velvety blanket of snow its palaces and cathedrals look more impressive and magical. Experience the splendor of Russian winter and go to St. Petersburg’s suburbs or take a tour to Novgorod, an ancient city where Russia’s soul is embedded. There you will see stunning ancient churches, enjoy Russian folklore and go for a sleigh ride on troika through the countryside. When you return you can warm up with a small shot of vodka, caviar and traditional Russian pancakes or blini.
Whether enjoying the long summer days or the blissful of winter snow, take time just to stroll around city’s beautiful parks.
