St. Petersburg, also known as the Northern Capital of Russia, is famous for its unique architecture, which includes drawbridges, museums and palaces. It is also home to one of the world’s largest museums, the State Hermitage. It is best to come to this city in early summer in order to see the beautiful natural phenomenon considered a special feature of St. Petersburg – the White Nights.

St. Petersburg is like a kaleidoscope – it offers something to suit every taste. If you adore art, this city is a treasure as you can experience three centuries of baroque, neo-classical and modern masterpieces by simply driving or walking its broad streets. St. Petersburg is well-adapted to cater for business or study trips as well as more pleasure-oriented tourism with a wide choice of restaurants and places to dance or listen to jazz or rock.
