Saint Petersburg
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 new Traveler guide brings you the best of St. Petersburg, the enchanted, canal-crossed gem built by Peter the Great. Having survived three revolutions and three name changes, the city still lives on gloriously. The guide reviews St. Petersburg's remarkable history, illuminating the city's love affair with history, architecture, ballet, and painting. You'll find directions to and descriptions of all the main sites—the formidable SS. Peter and Paul Fortress; the famed Hermitage Museum, housed in a series of historic buildings including the baroque Winter Palace; Palace Square; St. Isaac's Cathedral; Nevsky Prospekt—along with such lesser known attractions as the Church of Spilled Blood, Peter the Great's cabin, and the fascinating Museum of Musical Instruments.
Each book offers a wealth of practical information—including insider picks of hotels, restaurants, and driving and walking tours—combined with the sophisticated reporting and stunning photographs that are the hallmark of National Geographic. |

For anyone visiting St. Petersburg or merely wanting to learn more about one of the world's greatest cities, her guide is a must. "You now hold in your hands the first guidebook exclusively devoted to the lesser-known museums in the city. It will tell you what they are, where they are, when they are open, and what you can expect to find in them. It will open up a new world, a St. Petersburg that is prepared to reveal its secrets to anyone who takes the trouble to investigate and inquire." John Julius Norwich |
