St. Petersburg at Night

St. Petersburg at Night

The best way to feel the unique spirit of St. Petersburg is to look at the city at night. St. Petersburg is a flourishing modern city that stays awake 24 hours round. A comfortable bus will take you through the centre of the city which is remarkably attractive at night and is especially romantic in the period of White Nights, and during Winter when seen in the electric lights. St. Petersburg is also known as “the City of Bridges”. All bridges over the Neva River are drawbridges. This means that at night they are being drawn to allow large passenger and cargo vessels to go up the river to the Ladoga Lake. This is a magnificent scene especially in the period of White Nights lasting from May till July, when nights become as bright as day.
