Welcome to part two of St. Petersburg highlights – it turns out there were too many to fit into one article! Without further ado, let’s carry on and see what else this wonderful city has to offer visitors.
Situated at the head of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea, St. Petersburg is known for being the ‘young city’ of Russia, having been founded in the early 18th century by Tsar Peter the Great. Despite being described as Russian’s most Western city, St. Petersburg is packed with stunning museums and monuments that epitomise the very best of Russian culture and architecture.
