St Petersburg - Jewel in the Baltic Crown

---

14th/15th July



St Petersburg



Day One Russias most European city is the Jewel in the Baltic Crown and was Peter the Greats ‘Window on the West’.



The European influence is that Helsinki and Tallinn are only a few hours away but it can take up to 9hours to reach Moscow.

Needless to say the first day had the delays of passing through passport control and it seems better that you arrange tours through the Cruise because of visa restrictions.



Day One



Peterhof palace and Fountain gardens



Day Two



Catherine Palace and gardens



Pictures paint a thousand words and I’ve whittled the photos down to some 30+ for the two days.
