St Petersburg
St Petersburg travel guide

St Petersburg is not resting on its laurels. Current city boss Valentina Matvienko enjoys the political favour of Russian President Vladimir Putin, happy to approve a host of ambitious projects. A major ring road is being built around the city and leading buildings – such as the central bookstore Dom Knigi – are being renovated. This apart, St Petersburg is a regular fabulously ornate riverside metropolis steeped in history, literature, high culture and dark underground music.
