Saint Petersburg
(known from
1914 to
1924 as
"Petrograd", and
1924 to
1991 as
"Leningrad"),
is a city in
Russia, located on the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea.
As of the
2002 census,
the city had a population of 4,661,219, making it the third largest city in
Europe
(after Moscow and London).
The city was originally founded by Tsar Peter the Great in 1703, and was capital of the Russian
Empire for more than two hundred years (1712 to 1728, and 1732 to 1918). Tsar Peter originally
intended for the city to be his "window to Europe", and, to this day, Saint Petersburg
has a reputation as the most European of Russian cities.

This is a full color edition in which the text, photos and maps are the same as in the black and white edition. Although more costly, this edition brings Saint Petersburg alive in glorious color giving you the feeling of already being there. Most people visit Saint Petersburg by cruise ship, many companies spending three days in port. I have been to Saint Petersburg nearly 45 times, and still I find new sites to visit. In three days, you barely scratch the surface so to speak. Other visitors come either by fast train from Helsinki, Finland or fly in from various destinations in Europe. There are advantages and disadvantages to both means of travel. If you come by cruise ship, you do not require a visa, but you are only able to leave the ship when you have valid tours arranged. If you have secured a visa, which is no easy task, you then can leave the ship on your own. But the larger cruise ships dock in the main port, which is quite far from the city. Using public transportation can be daunting without a knowledge of either the written or spoken language. To visit on your own, coming by rail or air, you absolutely need a visa unless you are from one of a handful of countries that has a reciprocal agreement with Russia where visas are not required. This book is designed for those travelers who want to get out and really see Saint Petersburg rather than being a part of packaged guided tours. However, if you are going to follow the guided tour route, this book is still valuable in helping you to decide which of the many tour options offered are going to give you what you are looking for. Most people come with the expectation of visiting grand palaces, majestic cathedrals and fabulous gardens. And this is very much a part of what the city offers. But remember that Saint Petersburg is home to over six million people. It is Russia's second largest city. And if you are at all curious as to what life in truly like in Russia, then you must be willing to do some more in depth exploring. And this book will provide you with many valuable suggestions based upon the years of collective experience that have gone into its creation. Saint Petersburg is the jewel in Russia's crown. It is a magnificent city. Its people are friendly, but for the most part rather shy since few speak adequate English or other foreign languages. Given half a chance, their warmth and subtle sense of humor will add to your overall enjoyment. |
