The imperial wonders of St Petersburg...
It’s hard not to fall in love with the majestic city of St Petersburg at first sight – with historic architecture and monuments everywhere you turn, taking you back in time to Imperial Russia. As the former capital of the Russian Empire, the city is filled with illustrious sights. The Peterhof Palace and gardens are a place of fairy tale romance, while the Winter Palace and Hermitage Museum are great places to see classical and modern art. The city is also home to some must-see churches and cathedrals, including the breath-taking Church on Spilled Blood, built to commemorate the assassination of Emperor Alexander II, and the exquisite Smolny Cathedral.
As well as all its impressive history and architecture, St Petersburg also has a mouth-watering culinary scene. Enjoy delicious Russian dishes including stuffed sweet or savoury Pirozkhi buns, Borscht soup, and the classic Beef Stroganoff, named after one of Russia’s wealthiest noble families. It’s also worth visiting a traditional tea room, to experience spiced Russian tea, served with blini pancakes, caviar, and plenty of indulgent sweet treats. By night, the bars and restaurants of the city often come alive with live music, serving up great food, craft beers and cocktails!
