What kind of trip are you looking for? St Petersburg has everything to impress.

If you are looking for a real experience of Imperial Russia and want to get to know the magnificent palaces of St Petersburg, one place you should certainly visit is the small town of Tsarskoe Selo to tour the spectacular Catherine Palace and see the splendid Amber Room.

Catherine's Palace, Tsarskoe Selo
Have you always been interested in the Russian Royal family history? St Petersburg is the best place to study and learn more. Outstanding architectural heritage like Peter and Paul cathedral or the Marble Palace will reveal mysteries of this enigmatic dynasty with such a doleful destiny, from Peter the Great to Nikolay the Second.

Have a wedding anniversary coming up? Come to St Petersburg and hear some of the most beautiful love stories that took place here in the 19th century. For example you could tour Sheremetyevsky Palace and learn the story of misalliance between Earl Sheremetyev and a serf woman.

Interested in the multicultural and multi-religious aspect of Russia? Visit St Petersburg and get to know the history behind beautiful Orthodox churches, such as Alexander Nevsky Lavra or Kazansky cathedral, a Catholic cathedral, a Synagogue and a Datsan (Buddhist university monastery).

For adrenalin lovers St Petersburg offers a unique tour across the city’s rooftops! You’ll be able to climb centuries-old dusty stairs and attics to see the city like very few people get to see it - from above. Feel the freedom and inspiration of an unforgettable setting and after a long day full of adventures why not enjoy a traditional hearty dinner with a Russian family, full of hospitality, vodka, pickles and herring, followed by a rejuvenating Russian banya.

St Petersburg welcomes you!
