Graceful, elegant and romantic, St Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It was founded in 1703 by Peter the Great, and is often described as the "Venice of the North" because it is built on a series of Islands and an intricate network of canals and bridges.

The harmonious array of palaces and gilded spires are a sight to behold in the Winter with glistening snow and in Summer for the famed "White nights" when the sun sets for no more than 40 minutes.
