Haven’t been to Russia? What a pity…

So start Your trip with the visit to the greatest Russian city!

Saint-Petersburg is waiting for You!

Saint-Petersburg is the second largest city in Russia. Being a dwelling place for 4,7 million Russians, it occupies a territory of 500 square miles. It is a relatively young city, comparing to Moscow or any other ancient Russian city . Its history started 3 centuries ago, in May 1703, with the foundation of the fortress named Saint-Petersburg. In 1712 ancient Moscow resigned its commanding commissions to this young and very promising city, and during 200 years-to-follow Saint-Petersburg was the capital of Russian empire. The city's name was changed 3 times: in 1914, when with the outbreak of the World War 1 the German-sounding name “Saint-Petersburg” was changed for Russian “Petrograd”; in 1924, following the death of Bolshevik party leader V. Lenin, the city was renamed after him; in 1991 Saint-Petersburg regained its former name. The city cradled 3 revolutions: that of 1905-07, February 1917 and October 1917. During World War 2 Leningrad suffered a 900-day blockade, being completely cut off from any food and energy supplies. But daily air raids and persistent bombings to which the city had been subjected at those bitter days didn’t kill fortitude of the townspeople. Leningrad citizens endured everything, and for this courage their hometown was proclaimed a “city-hero”. Nowadays Saint-Petersburg is the centre of significant cultural, industrial and scientific potential of Russia. It is respectfully titled “the cultural capital of Russia”: here one can find 43 high educational institutions, with world-known Saint-Petersburg State university among them, 47 museums, including such precious pearls of world culture as State Hermitage and State Russian Museum. The city is located on 42 islands scattered in the wide estuary of Neva river, where it empties into the Gulf of Finland. Neva, the shortest and the deepest river in Europe, is very capricious: throughout its 300-year history the city has  experienced three hundred floods.
