St Petersburg
St Petersburg has been dubbed the Venice of the North for its palace-lined waterways. It managed to escape the architectural incursions of Stalinism and its grandiose relics of tsarist days are largely intact. Sculpted by islands and the sinuous Neva River, the city is a vista of geometric elegance.

St Petersburg experiences a maritime climate similar to the Baltic nations, having lighter winters and slightly cooler summers than other regions of Russia further east and inland. The real climatic culprit is the chilly Gulf of Finland wind, which makes a warm hat and scarf a necessity.
