You will see their best works: the State Hermitage, the Russian Museum, the Issakievsky and Kazan cathedrals, the Russian Museum, the Birzha (Stock market) on the Spit of Vasilievsky island and the Peter and Paul fortress located nearby. Drive through the straight and clear streets of the city, such as Nevsky prospect, which adorn the outstanding monuments of sculpture dedicated to the well-known people of Russia: Catherine the great, Peter the First, Alexander Pushkin, Alexander Nevsky and many others.
Our city, living through different historical stages, changed its name several times. It used to be called “Petrograd” and “Leningrad”. But it always remained “Saint Petersburg” in our hearts.
Intelligent and well-educated people live here, and this city is known as the cultural capital of Russia.
