Saint Petersburg travel is so exciting adventure that once visited Saint Petersburg you'll never forget it.
Saint Petersburg was founded on May, 16 1703 by Peter the Great. It has long been known as Russia's " Window to the West".
The main reason for Saint Petersburg travel is that Saint Petersburg has it’s own unique, unforgettable character. Compared to other large cities, Saint Petersburg is a mere youngster, only ninety years older than Washington. Ten years after it's foundation Saint Petersburg looked just about as Paris must have looked in the first few centuries A.D., consisting only of an island fortress and a handful of buildings stretched out along the banks of the river.
Youthful cities such as Saint Petersburg seldom acquire "character". This usually takes hundreds, even thousands of years. The same is also true of statues and buildings: Venus of Milo and the Acropolis would not be quite so interesting if they did not bear the marks of long, long life. Most cities, too, need time before countless generations can mould their character. The most marvelous thing about Saint Petersburg is that the rule does not hold true. The city was founded fairly recently, and, it may have seemed, in defiance of all reason: that is, on the swampy banks of a wild river, amidst dense forests, and between an ocean gulf and an enormous lake, both of which are ice-bounded almost half the year. But Saint Petersburg vital force could not be held in check. Saint Petersburg travel lets you feel all it’s force and power.
