Saint Petersburg: a city of palaces, canals, and bridges (Photodisc)
On This Page:St. Petersburg Family Travel Tips
St. Petersburg Overview
Saint Petersburg is a city of magnificent proportions and palaces. By 1703 Peter the Great began construction of the Peter and Paul Fortress, the first stage in his plan to build a new port city that would function as a "window on the West." Canals helped morph the former swampland into a showcase. By 1712 Saint Petersburg reigned as Russia's capital. By the end of the 19th century, 300 palaces graced the streets. Many still exist, but as museums or apartments. An impressive city of canals and bridges—by some counts 42 islands and 400 bridges, Saint Petersburg ranks as Russia's cultural capital.
