Destination Guide: The Playground of the Tsars
The treasures of St Petersburg unfold along the banks of the river Neva: the Peter and Paul fortress, the Summer Garden and the iconic Winter Palace. According to legend, Peter the Great was inspired to build his city here by a favourable omen. Arguably one of the most beautiful cities on earth, St Petersburg’s founder was right to pay heed.
