What do you imagine when you hear the word “Russia”?
What images does it conjure up? Huge? Faraway? Cold? Communism?
Dostoyevsky? Vodka? Ballet? Matryoshka? A somewhat odd combination
of disparate features.

The truth is that Russia is indeed a huge country that stretches over a vast
expanse of eastern Europe and northern Asia, with its tremendous capital,
Moscow built to be a major business center, the core of Russian History.
While Moscow is the head of this huge organism, Saint-Petersburg is its soul.
Founded by Peter the Great 300 years ago, this magnificent city has become
one of the most popular destinations in Russia for tourists. Glorious architecture,
magnificent mansions, splendid palaces, beautiful parks and gardens, numerous
rivers and canals make a person fall in love with the city instantly. Being
a hometown of famous musicians, novelists, poets and artists, it attracts
people from all over the world. The best time to experience this wonderful
city is the period of White Nights, which lasts from mid-May till the beginning
of July. A joyful atmosphere dominates the city at this time of the year.
The city is waiting to be discovered through its very poetic sights and
beautiful spots. Behind each new turn the city reveals itself with new magical
and unforgettable images. Get yourself ready to explore this amazing city
and I promise you- you won’t regret it!

Russia is one of the city that I wish to travel to it especially Moscow!
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to hear about my country!
ReplyDeleteI used to live in Moscow and I agree with the point of view that Saint Petersburg is a very special destination fro travelling. I used to go there two or three times each year and it felt almost like a second home to me. I think we are lucky to have grown up having such rich cultural heritage within our reach.
