Cities / Art / Science
Saint Petersburg.
A city best read from the water.
A sense of place
Embankments and long street views connect the historic centre. Look beyond individual palaces to the relationships between water, bridges and façades.
People & culture
Architects from different countries shaped the city’s heritage. Another route leads to Pulkovo Observatory, where the culture of observation turns towards the sky.
Pair an embankment walk with a focused museum visit.
