About St Petersburg

St Petersburg is the second largest city in Russia and more importantly is its capital of culture. Striking, world famous architecture such as the Winter Palace and the Kazan Cathedral create a great first impression whilst the extensive and well renowned art collection of the Hermitage adds gloss to St Petersburg’s cultural credentials. If you wouldn’t consider highbrow culture your thing, you can still enjoy fine dining and stunning urban landscapes.

Spread over several different islands connected by various bridges, St Petersburg is the fourth largest city in Europe and as such has a multitude of sights and activities to explore and take part in. However it might be better to watch the ice swimmers rather than partake in the action of breaking the ice before dipping in the freezing water surrounding Zaychy Island.
