By train – 36-40 hours, by ship -2 days, by plane– only 2 hours (from Europe...). Northern Venice, the city of the museums and bridges and very intelligent people... The city is 300 years old only but it's very famous and popular. In soviet times it was named as "The City of three Revolutions“, but today it's named as „the City of russian Kings“. There're many books about St. Petersburg and in Internet you can see and find a lot, but I want to show you a little travel in pictures around of St. Petersburg.
If you are coming for 2-3 days only, what are you be able to see here? Nothing!
And it's very pity... St. Petersburg is one of the biggest cities of Russia with 5 Mio. people who are living here! If you decided for yourself to visit St. Petersburg and you come direct to St. Petersburg by plane, the first you'll see – it's our international airport. You can of course to take an Taxi, but it's too expensive. If you'll book your travel by travel agency your transfer will be inclusive, if no– than go by bus to the underground-station (Metro). The airport is not in the city inside.

So, the half of the day is lost. If you like you can walking in the city and seeing at houses and palaces. It's really beautiful! Small streets and large Prospects, "small" houses and and big palaces...

If you'll come in summer , specially since end of May till end of July, than you see what we named „White Nights“. If you are going to visit the Hermitage, than you have to decide for which epoche in the world culture you are interested. To see the whole collection of the Hermitage you have to visit it during 3 months every day, there're hundreds of halls with pictures, illustrations, sculptures, a lot of old things ..

The summer in St. Petersburg is very beautiful: White Nights, Fontaines in Petershof, Parks in Pawlovsk, Puschkin(Tsarskoje Selo), Oranienbaum and Gatschina. And some Sea-seesightings of St. Petersburg: go from the Hermitage to Petershof by speed-boat „Metheor“ or „Kometa“, and one else – seeing the seesightings from boat (both are in summer only!) . We recomend to you to visit Kronstadt and to walk through these small and short streets, which are made with cast iron ... Have you ever seen it?..
