St. Petersburg, the second largest city in the country, was the home of the Czars and is one of Europe's most beautiful cities and is truly Russia's gem.
Founded in 1703, this is a city of palaces, renowned cultural institutions, wide avenues, spectacular bridges, museums, stylish monuments and outdoor landmarks -all reflecting the diversity and history of this grand city.
Officially proclaimed the "Cultural Capital of Russia," St. Petersburg is an exciting city, which has much to offer the visitor, including the famous Hermitage Museum and the Kirov Ballet of the Mariinsky Theater.
