St.-Petersburg ranks with the most beautiful cities of the world - Paris, London, and Berlin. It is one of the ten cities considered to be particularly attractive for visiting. It is generally known that the best time to admire the North Palmyra's masterpieces is a miracle time of "white nights" from May 25 to July 20 (the lightest nights are between June 11 and July 2).

St Petersburg was built on a grand scale, with palaces and boulevards designed to be viewed from afar, and bold symmetry embracing the whole. The city sprawls across and around the mouth of the Neva River, at the end of the easternmost arm of the Baltic Sea. The Neva splits the city into northern, eastern and southern sectors. The area spreading back from the Winter Palace and the Admiralty on the south bank is the city's heart, and Nevsky prospekt is its main artery. This central area is a pedestrian's dream, as the waterside walkways and elegant streetscapes are best seen on foot.

The north side of the city has three main areas. The westernmost is Vasilevsky Island at the eastern end of which stand many of the city fine early buildings. The middle area is Petrograd Side, a cluster of delta islands whose southern end is marked by the tall gold spire of the SS Peter & Paul Cathedral. This is where the city began. The third, eastern, area is Vyborg Side, divided from Petrograd Side by the Bolshaya Nevka channel and stretching east along the north bank of the Neva.
