What to See During a Weekend in St. Petersburg

What interesting things to see in St. Petersburg? Of course, it's worth starting with the country's cultural treasure – the brilliant Hermitage. But for this pleasure, you need to set aside several days, because you will have to stop for a long time near some exhibits. For example, tourists often linger in the St. George Hall, enjoy looking at Leonardo da Vinci's painting «Madonna with Child» and other sections of the museum.

While in St. Petersburg, do not miss the unique Peterhof, which in luxury echoes the royal Versailles in France. How is it different from its foreign counterpart? Of course, by its Russian flavor and more restrained nature – there are no exotic palms at the central fountain, but here the spirit of bygone romance lingers. Tourists in Petrodvorets expect many pleasant moments, for example, the carefully maintained and preserved palace and park ensemble and unique fountains. To see them, it is better to come to Peterhof from May to September.

St. Petersburg can be fully called a real open-air museum. What about night walks along Palace and Admiralty Embankments! Tourists especially like the drawbridges and, of course, the unforgettable white nights, when it seems that the day will never end. Going for a weekend in the northern capital, be sure to include in your itinerary such attractions as St. Isaac's Cathedral and Kazan Cathedral, take spectacular and unforgettable pictures in Tsarskoye Selo, get acquainted with the lively and amusing exhibits of the Oceanarium, take a stroll along the respectable Nevsky Prospekt on one of your free evenings. This city has many memorable places, but tours on the roofs of ancient mansions, which offer a stunning view, will surprise you in the literal sense of the word.
