River with Boats, Saint Petersburg, Russia

St Petersburg

St Petersburg is a vibrant and bustling Russian city of ideas which has firmly established itself as one of the major cultural centres of the world.

The city has a striking array of neoclassical and baroque architectural delights in the form of its many spectacularly designed palaces and museums, most of which were renovated for its 300th anniversary in 2003.

It was here the Russian Revolution was instigated and it was here that democracy was encouraged when a change was required. The city has a different feel from that of Moscow; it takes on more of the western perspective, allowing the feeling of a more European styled city.

My travels were first inspired by my love of the UK, which I take as much pleasure in exploring as countries far and wide. For me, travel is all about the adventure, the people I meet and the food I sample along the way.
