Recently celebrating its 300th Anniversary, the magnificent city of St. Petersburg

entices with a legacy of history, the arts and striking beauty. St. Petersburg is a city of

canals and rivers, built on 101 islands, joined by 350 graceful bridges over the Neva River,

thus earning the name " Venice of the North".
