St. Petersburg! Looking at its beauty today, it's hard to believe that 322 years ago in 1703, Russian Emperor Peter the Great founded it on swampland. St. Petersburg has something magical - the white nights. For about 2 months in summer - from mid-May to mid-July, the city barely sees darkness. The sun never dips more than 6-7° below the horizon and it begins to rise again as early as 2:00 a.m. Many people come to St. Petersburg specifically to enjoy romantic walks during the white nights The architectural diversity of St Petersburg is absolutely remarkable - classicism, baroque, renaissance, Art Nuevo. Just along Nevsky Prospekt you will find iconic landmarks such as the Winter Palace, (Hermitage), Kazan Cathedral, The Singer House, Eliseevsky Emporium, Gostiny Dvor, Stroganoff palace, Wawelberg house and many more. The endless embankments and bridges spanning the city's rivers have become iconic symbols of St. Petersburg. Here are over 400 bridges and more than 60 canals within the city. Interestingly, despite all these rivers, St. Petersburg had to build its metro very deep - in fact under the rivers. The St. Petersburg metro is one of the deepest in the world and its deepest station "Admiralteyskaya" lies 86 meters underground. Today St. Petersburg is the second largest city in Russia with a population of about 5.6 million residents. St. Petersburg rightfully holds the title of Russia's northern capital, Russia's cultural capital, representing the heart of the country, its culture, art, and soul.
