St. Petersburg is a famous city well-known by tourists. Its brands are the historical center of the city, which included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, the white nights, and the atmosphere of drawbridges.
Typically, a trip to the northern capital of Russia includes a rich cultural program, exhibitions, canal walks and the unique atmosphere of the restaurants. But this is only part of the experience. Today St. Petersburg has much more to offer.
It's modern. The city is implementing its own "New Tourist and Cultural Geography" program, which is aimed at integrating new places and locations into the existing, classic tourist map of the city.
It's safe. St. Petersburg was the first city in Russia to join the international movement to restart the travel industry "Safe Travels" with its own marketing program "Petersburg Hospitality / Safe Travel".
