When you think of visiting Russia, you’re immediately overwhelmed with choices of places to see. Russia is the largest country in the world, so it obviously has many, many cities, towns, national parks, etc. to see. However, if it’s a beautiful Russian city that you’re after, then look no further than Saint Petersburg. Sometimes called the Venice of the North, it is by far the most beautiful and the most European city anywhere in Russia. Saint Petersburg is located on the shores of the Neva River, at the head of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea. In terms of population, it is Russia's second-largest city, with the capital, Moscow, being larger. Comparing it with other cities in Europe, it has the 4th largest population. The city is steeped in history, as it was originally a Swedish fortress, that later served as Russia’s capital for close to 200 years. The city is definitively the country’s cultural capital, but it is also still very relevant in terms of governing the Russian Federation, as it is home to the Constitutional Court of Russia as well as the Heraldic Council of the President of the Russian Federation. Also, many foreign consulates, international corporations, banks and businesses have their main offices in Saint Petersburg. The world-class city has earned its title of Venice of the North, with its network of canals, picturesque baroque bridges, beautiful works of art in the enormous Hermitage museum, and much, much more. The beauty and importance of the historic center of the city, as well as the Related Groups of Monuments, have been officially recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With so many instagramable sites and attractions to see, deciding on where to begin in Saint Petersburg can be a daunting task. Luckily, even though the city is quite large, the historic center of Saint Petersburg is fairly walkable. However, if you’re not the walking type, you can also get to wherever you want to go by taxi. While street taxis are available, we recommend you download the Yandex Taxi App or the Gett App. The top places to visit while in Saint Petersburg are the following: The Hermitage Museum, he Peterhof Palace and fountain park, the Peter and Paul Fortress, the Saviour of the Spilt Blood Church, the Marble Palace, the Mikhailovsky Castle, the Isaac’s Cathedral, the Kazan cathedral, the Catherine Palace, the Gatchina Palace, the Pavlovsk Palace and the Russian Museum. Similar to other cities at this latitude, the weather in Saint Petersburg can be unpredictable. Summers in St. Petersburg can be pleasant, with daytime temperatures usually in the twenties. However, it is not uncommon to have hotter days (up to 30 degrees Celsius) or the opposite: temperatures closer to 20 degrees and rainy. The best time to visit Saint Petersburg is in between May and September, though October is very picturesque due to the changing color of the leaves on the large trees along the cities main avenues and in its parks. For travelers visiting the city for just a few days, and are unsure where to stay, the Tsentralny district is highly recommended. Tsentralny district means “City Center Area” and covers pretty much all of the main touristic spots in Saint Petersburg. For reference, one of the nicest neighborhoods in this part of the city is the area around the metro stations Nevsky Prospekt, Gostiny Dvor, Vladimirskaya and Chernyshevskaya. Also, Admiralteyskaya is just a few minutes away from the beautiful Hermitage Museum. The Mikhailovsky opera and ballet theatre is also just steps away from the Nevsky Prospekt metro station. Now, if time is not an issue and you are considering staying in the Saint Petersburg for over a week or two, you should consider looking at areas with cheaper accommodation, but which are still beautiful, quiet and safe. Areas that meet this criteria include those near metro stations Vasileostrovskaya, Ploshad Alexandra Nevskogo, Chernyshevskaya and Petrogradskaya.
