Stunning St. Petersburg

St. Petersburg is one of the most interesting metropolises in Europe, where the glamour of the Czarist times was brought back to life by massive restoration work to mark the city's 300th anniversary in 2003. The rivers, canals, numerous islands and an abundance of palaces earn the city the nickname "Venice of the North".

St. Petersburg is a combination of colourful historical stories, architectural gems and cultural delights. Simultaneously it is pulsating with present-day life: fashion, music and culinary tastes!
