St. Petersburg on the Map of Vipservice

The cultural capital of Russia, northern Venice, the creation of Peter the Great are the common names of St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg, located on the coast of the Gulf of Finland, at the mouth of the Neva River, is the second largest city in Russia. It is one of the world's most beautiful megacities that attracts travellers from all over the world. In 2015 alone, the city was visited by over 3.7 million Russian tourists and 2.8 million foreign tourists. Being a major economic, transport, cultural and scientific centre, St. Petersburg, with its 5 million inhabitants, also remains a heart of Russian history. It is no coincidence that the centre of North Palmyra with related landmarks in the Baroque and Neoclassical style are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Hermitage, the Peter and Paul Cathedral, St. Isaac's Cathedral, the Winter Palace—a day is not enough to list the sights of the "city on the water".
