SAINT PETERSBURG
Much water flows through St. Petersburg, the country’s cultural heart, that is crisscrossed by over eighty rivers and canals. After a visit to the ornate cathedrals, especially the Saviour on Spilled Blood (above) with its elaborate mosaics, step out to the backstreets at dusk along the beautiful canals and townhouses. You will find out why the city is called the ‘Venice of the North’.
