Short Breaks in St. Petersburg
St Petersburg is a vibrant and bustling Russian city of ideas which, has firmly established itself as one of the major cultural centres of the world. It was here the Russian Revolution was instigated and it was here that democracy was encouraged when change was required.
The City has a stunning array of neoclassical and baroque architectural delights in the form of its many stunningly designed palaces and museums, most of which were renovated for its 300th anniversary in 2003. The city has a different feel from that of Moscow; it takes on more of the Western perspective, allowing the feeling of a more European styled city.
St Petersburg offers a ‘window to the west’; its bohemian inspired atmosphere allows travellers to view a very different side of Russia.
