Saint Petersburg. How to get by train, car. Info, distances, connections

Saint Petersburg

“St. Petersburg is the most abstract and premeditated city in the entire terrestrial globe”. This is how the great Dostoevsky called it in 1864 in one of his books (Memoirs from the Underground).

Saint Petersburg, today, is a lively, young and extremely suggestive place; a cultured and fascinating city, with beautiful architecture and prestigious theaters, a source of inspiration for writers of the caliber of Pushkin and Dostoevsky.

A city that was built entirely on water, at the behest of Pietro the Great, representing a real “window to the West”. Thanks to its precious geographical position it is one of the most important ports in the world.

An ideal destination between June and July, when you can admire the suggestive phenomenon of white nights, with the sunset that meets the dawn. Absolutely amazing! And a real festival with events and initiatives focused on the white nights.
