St Petersburg, known as the 'Venice of the North' and regarded as the cultural capital of Russia is one of the most beautiful cities of the world, but in winter something quite magical happens as the canals freeze over and buildings are veiled in snow. Walking around the city and seeing Petersburg's unique architecture powdered with snow, with the winter sun reflecting like platinum on the city's canals, is a stunning sight.
It is a time of year where you can enjoy a more peaceful and reflective city. When you don't need to queue for museums or pay exorbitant hotel rates. And it is a time when you can go to the theatre and conservatories to enjoy festivals or balls without the touristic glut. In our opinion it the best time of year.
