When I got to the St Petersburg Russia hotel, I found a little brochure that said more people come to St. Petersburg than any other part of Russia because of its historical richness. It is considered the most classical European city in Europe. Whatever its historical ties are, the city is beautiful. The cobble stone streets, beautiful cathedral and beaches are all part of the allure. When you visit St. Petersburg, you cannot forget about going to the ballet. Russia is filled with ballet and is very rich in the dance. Everything in St. Petersburg was absolutely gorgeous, even the hotel room that I stayed in.
