Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Saint Petersburg is a sprawling port city on the shores of the Baltic Sea in northwest Russia. The sheer history and grandeur of this nation’s imperial capital never fails to amaze anyone who visits. The city’s mighty Neva River, elegant canals, and 342 bridges, have unsurprisingly drawn comparisons to the city of Venice, Italy. The similarities don’t end there; the city’s historic center reveals canals lined with Italianate mansions, only broken up by striking plazas that are adorned with neoclassical and baroque palaces. Saint Petersburg offers a number of superlative attractions for visitors to explore, including The Hermitage, St. Isaac’s Cathedral and Colonnade, and the Church on Spilled Blood. Please note that the Russia Travel Advisory from the U.S. Department of State is at Level 4: Do Not Travel.
