St. Petersburg: From the tsars’ palaces to Putin’s dining place
Favorite spots: “St. Petersburg is a living museum and is the historical and cultural capital of Russia. One can never run out of things to experience in the “Venice of the North.” You will need at least five days to discover the architectural wonders of this city, home to unparalleled collection of classical architecture, baroque palaces and neo-Russian churches. Add to the mix a thriving bar and nightclub scene, a collection of new five-star hotels, and a dynamic population eager to embrace the fast-paced life as Russia spins toward the hedonistic society of the 21st century.
