St. Petersburg is the second largest city in Russia. Older people, however, will probably continue to call it Leningrad, which was true but only until the breakup of the Soviet Union. This cosmopolitan city is still full of tourists. There are beautiful buildings, temples, theaters, but also many lifting bridges. Formerly here were the Csars, so you can look forward to the luxurious palaces. Browse through our photogallery St. Petersburg. The icing on the cake will be a visit to the summer Tsarist residence - Petrodvorets.
