My father has been to more than 100+ countries and he always says saint petersburg is the best

My family and I have visited 61 countries. Saint Petersburg Russia is the most beautiful city we have ever seen. Plus it's full of culture; ballet, music, restaurants, museums, parks etc...

One of Europe´s greatest cities!
-
Jesus!! This place is beautiful!

I went last year. It really lives up to the hype. It's without a doubt the most architecturally beautiful city I've ever visited.

This city is legendary!!! I have been to so many beautiful cities like Vienna, Prague and Budapest but St. Petersburg really charmed me the most!! Of course it depends on what you like, but SP has so much beautiful palaces and churches that looks so golden, royal and colourful. Also, I love the idea of the main street (Nevsky Prospekt), it has beautiful buildings and it is so easy to walk around, eat and do some shopping! Russian food is affordable and delicious, and most restaurant waiters speak enough English to understand your orders and the people are very friendly in general! Missing this place already! Hope that more people will visit and see Russia for themselves and realize Russians are actually nice people, all the world politics out there are only creating divides between people that shouldn't exist! Great video, brings back good memories!! Спасибо!

When i was a young boy I learnt about Peter The Great and I had the dream to visit his panoramic city of St. Petersburg. Next to Venice and Rome St. Petersburg is my best dream ever I have

St. Petersburg is utterly underrated. Always on my bucket list and hope one day I can cross it off!

I am Finn, it is easy to take a fast train from Helsinki to see this fab city, kiitos Pietari, spasiba.

Definitely, one of best cities on Earth!

The city is even more beautiful than shown in the video. Before going there, I thought it cannot be that beautiful, but oh man, it is amazing, the white nights festivals are great, the people are friendly, they do not speak English though. Both Moscow and Petersburg are very safe, we walked around both cities at night and no one even looked at us, let alone bother us.

I am glad that I visited St. Petersburg and Moscow. Amazing...speechless on their architectures, cultures and ballets. Mariinsky Theatre is a must go for a ballet show. OMG, you will never regret it.
