ARCHITECTURE IN ST. PETERSBURG

KULVIR SINGH VIRK

There are a number of great things to do in St. Petersburg. The architecture is fantastic. Therefore, seeing this should be at the top of any tourist list.

A river cruise is an excellent way to spend a wonderful summer day and is one of the greatest ways to learn about the city’s landmarks and architecture. Watching the drawbridges at night is another great way to see the thought and creativity that has gone into building the city.

St. Petersburg was originally intended to be a port city and naval base, which it remained for many years. The Neva River remains the city’s major artery, with numerous ships passing through it daily. To allow larger ships to dock, all of the river bridges are illuminated and drawn at night, creating a stunning sight.

OTHER THINGS TO DO IN ST. PETERSBURG

Those visiting St. Petersburg should be sure to sample some of the local cuisine. Pelmeni are one of the most popular foods in Russia. They are Russian dumplings made with ground meat and sliced onions, topped with dill. For something sweet, morozhenoe is very popular. This ice cream is made from pure milk, with a higher ice-to-dairy ratio than most ice creams, resulting in a truly creamy texture.
