production are world renowned.
And of all the grand operas in

the finest. Absolutely make sure
to book tickets for a performance
during your stay. The ancient
interiors are beyond marvelous as
is the incredible skill of the
Russian ballet dancers
Canal Tour

St. Petersburg is a city of many

water canals. In fact, there
are over 342 bridges crossing
a total length of 300
kilometers of artificial
canals. They served as
important transport ways and
kept the city built on
marshland dry. These days,
most traffic sticks to the roads.
But as a tourist, you absolutely
should go on a canal tour and
see St. Petersburg from a
different side.
White Night Festival

City of St. Petersburg celebrates

unique festival White Night
Festival. The Festival begins in
May with the “Stars of the White
Nights” at Mariinsky Theatre and
ends in July. St. Petersburg is the
world’s most northern city with a
population over 1 million, and its
stands at such a high latitude that the
sun does not descend below the
horizon enough for the sky to grow
dark. It’s the time when the day is very
long and the sun shines till the
midnight and then rises at 3-4 at
night, so the nights are not dark.
