Welcome to St. Petersburg!

Founded by the Tsar Peter the Great on 27 May 1703, St Petersburg was planned and built as the capital of newly emerged Russian Empire. Today, it is arguably one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Immerse yourself deep into rich Russian history, art and culture, Russian Revolution & Romanov Imperial legacy. Your driver will be waiting at the airport/train station to take you to the cozy hotel in the downtown.

One of the best sights of St. Petersburg is the State Hermitage Museum, Russia's largest collection of art. The Hermitage cats (almost a Russian trademark), have resided in the Winter Palace since the time of Empress Elizaveta Petrovna.

Take a stroll alomg famous Nevsky Prospect. Planned in the early 18th century as part of the main road to Moscow and Novgorod, today Nevsky is one of the city's main tourist destinations.

The most famous attractions of St. Petersburg are undoubtedly its cathedrals and bridges. There are at least five incredible cathedrals in the city and about 800 in St. Petersburg, and 218 are only for pedestrians. The city's very first bridge - Troitsky Most (Trinity Bridge) -was built in 1803, and was originally a temporary pontoon bridge with a horse-drawn rail car that led to the Summer Gardens. It was opened to the public 100 years later in 1903.
