Private tours in Russia and Ukraine
Weekend in St. Petersburg
4 Days - 3 Nights
St.Petersburg was founded at the estuary of the
small Zayachy island on May 27,1703.
The Russian Tzar Peter the Great personally supervised the construction and
named the city after his patron saint. In 1712-1713 the Tzar’s Court and the
governmental offices moved there from Moscow and thus St.Petersburg became the
capital of the Russian Empire. In 1918 the capital was transferred back to
Moscow. St. Petersburg today is a city of major industrial enterprises,
scientific centers, higher educational establishments, theatres and
world-renowned museums. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
