And what better addition to My Destination than the city of St Petersburg:

“The former capital of the Tsars is known for its unique atmosphere, its canals and bridges, architectural ensembles, and sumptuous palaces and museums, and receives 5 million visitors every year. The city’s history is fascinating and never far off, but what I love is that this is also a modern, bustling city on the move, with trendy nightspots, an eclectic restaurant scene, contemporary art events, festivals such as the White Nights, proud sporting traditions, and much more. There’s always something new to discover. St Petersburg is truly one of the world’s great capitals of culture.” Tim Stanley, Director, MyDestination St Petersburg.

My Destination St Petersburg: Locally informed, globally inspired.
