Winter Palace was the official residence of the Russian Tsar Emperors and now it serves as one of the buildings of the museum. There are lot of ancient and architecturally unique cathedrals in Saint Petersburg. We visited Saint Isaac's cathedral and the Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood. The interior of these structures have been designed by some of the most celebrated Russian artists such as Karl Pavlovich Bryullov, Viktor Vasnetsov, Mikhail Nesterov and Mikhail Vrubel.

We also tried Russian dumplings which are called "Pelmeni" from Pelmenya restaurant located in Saint Petersburg.

In 1703, The Tsar Emperor Peter the Great makes Saint Petersburg his capital. Saint Petersburg was turned into a city which was completely built according to a plan. A network of canals was built as part of the plan around River Neva and other rivers. Intention was to develop Saint Petersburg as a port city. River Neva is the main river flowing through Saint Petersburg which is the fourth largest river in Europe in terms of average discharge.

Palace Square is the centre of Saint Petersburg. General Staff building and Alexander Column are some of the iconic structures built here.

The main street in Saint Petersburg is Nevsky Prospekt. A good way to explore Saint Petersburg is the city tour bus.
