Saint Petersburg Tour Packages

Saint Petersburg is Russia's imperial gem on the Baltic Sea coast. It is often referred to as the "Venice of the North." The elegant city has about 5.6 million residents and was founded by Peter the Great in 1703 as Russia's window to Europe. Saint Petersburg features over 400 bridges spanning its Neva River and canals, grand palaces, and the world-famous Hermitage collection, fed by centuries of Romanov legacy. In Russian, "Sankt-Peterburg" honors its founder and saintly namesake.

Saint Petersburg provides visitors access to world-class art and architecture along its waterways or by boat. Visitors experience tsarist opulence alongside ballet and literary heritage. 

In summer, revel in endless White Nights daylight; in winter, glide on frozen canals amid snowy spires. The city boasts excellent infrastructure, including luxury hotels (like the Belmond Grand Hotel Europe) and fine dining serving local specialties (blini, beef stroganoff, and pelmeni).

This stunning sunset view of the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood captures Saint Petersburg's iconic, colorful domes and riverside allure.
