The second largest Russian city - Saint Petersburg is located on the Neva River at its mouth in the Finland gulf of the Baltic Sea. The city was founded in 1703 by Russian Emperor Peter the Great who planned to build the most up-to-date cosmopolitan city of Russia as opposed to the other traditional old-fashioned Russian cities. Called “the window to Europe” St. Petersburg was the capital of Russia for over 200 years.

We are glad to invite you to take a tour to the city on the Neva River. St. Petersburg has earned many nicknames among Russians. It is often called the Northern Capital, the Northern Palmira, Northern Venice, and it is really one of the most beautiful cities of the world.
