Flights to St Petersburg – Visit a Russian Baroque wonderland
In a breathtaking display of ego, Peter the Great built St Petersburg on a swamp. That’s where he wanted it, so that’s where it was built. Everyone hated it at first – a dismal, damp mosquito infested place. But Peter declared it the capital and people had to put up and shut up. Thankfully, the city soon evolved from this swampy nightmare into one of Europe’s finest, most modern and forward thinking cities. Take cheap flights to St Petersburg and experience delightful Venice-like canals, baroque architecture and neo-classical masterpieces, all built by Italian master architects. This is a gracious city with a real western European flavour; outgoing, sophisticated and tolerant.
