Is a holiday rental in Sankt Petersburg worth it?
A holiday apartment in Sankt Petersburg offers you the perfect combination of independence and comfort. Enjoy Fascinating culture and experience Sankt Petersburg like a local – with your own retreat after an action-packed day.
Sankt Petersburg, founded in 1703 by Tsar Peter the Great, is Russia's cultural soul and an architectural open-air museum of overwhelming beauty. The city on the Neva delights with magnificent palaces, gilded domes, and a canal system that earned it the nickname Venice of the North.
The Hermitage in the Winter Palace is one of the largest and most significant art museums in the world: over three million exhibits, including works by Rembrandt, da Vinci, and Monet, are spread across 1,000 rooms in five interconnected palaces. The opulent halls with their marble staircases, gilded ceilings, and malachite columns are a work of art in themselves. The Peter and Paul Fortress on Hare Island is the cradle of the city and houses the tombs of the Romanov tsars.
The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood, with its colorful onion domes, is inspired by Moscow's St. Basil's Cathedral and is a masterpiece of Russian mosaic art. Nevsky Prospect, the main thoroughfare, passes by magnificent buildings, the Gostiny Dvor department store, and the Kazan Cathedral. In June, the White Nights transform the city into a festival without darkness — the bridges over the Neva open at night for ships, a magical spectacle. The best travel time is from May to September.
What are the highlights of Sankt Petersburg?
Over 3 million artworks – from da Vinci to Rembrandt to Matisse – in one of the most magnificent palaces in the world. It would take 11 years to view each exhibit for 1 second.
The colorful onion domes outside are spectacular, but the mosaic interior (7,500 m² of mosaics!) takes your breath away.
The 'Russian Versailles' with 150 fountains and gilded statues – the Grand Cascade is the most magnificent water feature in Europe.
The most famous street in Russia: 4.5 km of magnificent facades, the Kazan Cathedral, Singer House, and endless cafés and bookstores.
From late May to mid-July, the sun hardly sets – the city celebrates with bridge openings, festivals, and surreal light at midnight.
