About St Petersburg

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.

Must see spots in St Petersburg

The State Hermitage has got to be high on your list of places to visit when you fly to St Petersburg. It is a treasure trove housed in the Winter Palace and filled with artefacts ranging from Egyptian mummies to 20th century works by Picasso and Matisse. Because of its popularity, queues can be long so either go later on in the day when they are shorter or book tickets online.

Another essential item on your list should be a stroll down Nevsky Prospekt, the most famous street in Russia. There are palaces, museums, cathedrals, and statues to behold along the two and a half mile stretch, plus a cafe or two to rest your weary feet.

For more relaxation, try the Summer Garden with the 18th century Summer Palace in one corner. If you crave great views of St Petersburg, head for the Strelka on Vasilevsky Island. There are also some great museums there as well, including the Museum of Zoology with a complete woolly mammoth on display.
