 About St Petersburg

Saint Petersburg is Russia’s second largest city with a population of 4.7 million. Formally known as Petrograd and later Leningrad the City was created by Peter the Great in 1703 designed to be his "window on Europe", St Petersburg combines its fascinating Russian heritage with a distinctly European outlook. Considered the cultural heart of modern day Russia, St. Petersburg is rapidly regaining its reputation as one of the Great Cities of Europe. From the early days of Peter the Great's "Venice of the North" to the modern events of the 1991 coup d'etat, the city has always bustled with life and intrigue, revolution and mystery.

Within easy reach of the capitals of Europe and Scandinavia, Saint Petersburg is a UNESCO World Heritage site, with a long list of major attractions. Its Hermitage Museum, housed in the Winter Palace of the Romanov Dynasty, is both one of the world's greatest and oldest collections of art, treasure, and antiquities, and one of its most beautiful buildings.
