Russia is not just vodka and balalaika as most people know it. It is also culture and tradition- rich history. St Petersburg is the cultural center of Russia. This city was build in 17th century by russian tsar Peter the Great in efford to have an access to Baltic sea for trade and military purposes. Later on St Petersburg became the home of all russian rsars including Nicolas II who was killed with his family during russian revolution in 1917. The only fact that all tsars lived in St Petersburg made this city a cultural magnet. During all these years all the best was attracted to the city. Because of that it is a heaven for a tourist interested in culture and history. There are a countless number of excursions wich will help to organise your visit.
