Why go to Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation?

• Locals love it so much they nicknamed the city “Piter”
• What better place for a “Winter Palace”?
• Party all night in daylight during midsummer “White Nights”
• Hang with the locals on the Nevsky Prospect
• Indulge like the tsars did at the Petrodvorets palaces
• Beat people with birch branches in banyas (steam rooms)
• Paddle canals, play footy with the locals or head out for cross-country skiing
