Driving city tour in St Petersburg with a local guide

St. Petersburg was founded in 1703 by Russian tsar Peter the Great but named after Apostle Peter- the tsar’s patron- saint. The city was known as Petrograd from 1914 to 1924 and then as Leningrad from 1924 until 1991, when the city, at last, got its original name again.  St. Petersburg is the country's cultural capital and Russia's second-largest metropolis.



St Petersburg is home to The Hermitage, one of the world's best art museums, and the Lakhta Center, Europe's highest structure, in addition to innumerable gorgeous churches, palaces and museums

Matryoshka dolls, black caviar, and Fabergé eggs are just a few of Russia's world known symbols apart from the literary, artistic and ballet achievements.

In St. Petersburg, the latter – the cultural aspect – is abundant. When it comes to the historical and cultural attractions of St Petersburg, you will not be disappointed. The discovery of palaces and churches, as well as a man-made island, is only the beginning!
