Places to see in St. Petersburg

September 28, 2008

Every Russia travel tour must include St Petersburg. St. Petersburg has been the capital of Russia during the time of Russia tsars. It was and still remained one of the most developed cities in the world. There are many places of interest in St.Petersburg, so you’ll never get bored spending a perfect Russia vacation there.

There are many hotels in St. Petersburg that have modern conveniences for a good and comfortable rest. The “Brothers Karamazov” hotel is situated only in a kilometer from the center, so it gives an opportunity to see the best sights there. Guarded parking is available in many St Petersburg hotels too. There is also a business center there that is available 24 hours a day.

The major historical attraction in St.Petersburg is Peter and Paul Fortress, which was constructed in the period from 1712 to 1733. This fortress played a very important role in the history of Russia. Peter the Great was the founder of the Peter and Paul fortress. From 1721 the fortress has become the garrison of St.Petersburg, as well as high security prison. Some pats of the prison are still open for the visitors.

If you want to find yourself in the time of Russian tsars, then you must visit Peter’s House, which belonged to the tsar Peter the Great. Peter’s house has been carefully preserved, so there you can find original things belonging to the tsar.
