The so-called "Venice of the North", which was conceived as a much-desired "Window on Europe" by Peter the Great, is a leading cultural destination. The name of the city is a tribute to the founder of the church and the guardian of the keys to paradise who was to open this bridgehead between Russia and Europe. As you travel through its interlacing canals spanned by charming little bridges or along its majestic avenues, you will come across the collections of the Hermitage or the Russian Museum, where you will be delighted by its architectural purity. Culture, alive and well, will be embodied by an unforgettable evening at the Mariinsky. Whether in its "traditional" theatre or at the Mariinsky-2, which redefines the standards of ballet, opera and acoustics in the 21st century.
