St. Petersburg
St. Petersburg is one of the most magnificent cities in the world, and not just because of the well-preserved palaces and streets that Russia's second largest city, with 4.5 million inhabitants, has to offer. The "Venice of the North", as the city is affectionately known thanks to the 42 islands that form part of its urban area, is particularly impressive thanks to the Winter Palace, which is one of the most beautiful palaces in the city and completes the virtual journey through Russian history alongside numerous other buildings worth seeing. However, a single short trip will not be enough to marvel at all the sights of this unique city, as both the world-famous art museum and one of the enchanting boat trips will make time fly by.
