Russian Federation
Saint Petersburg
Russia's cultural capital, founded by Peter the Great, renowned for its imperial architecture and the Hermitage Museum.
Tips from the community
You’ll never witness blazing sunshine in Russia, but somehow that makes the country even more fitting for a winter vacation. As the canals freeze over and snow gently settles over the cooler months, the quaint walkways even seem to glow slightly pink as the sun sets. The Russians are used to their cold weather, which means your faux fur hat will go down a treat in frosty St. Petersburg.
Russia’s skyline was practically made for gloomy weather so you don’t need to stress about a lack of sunshine over here. Churches, palaces, and museums make up much of the city’s must-see list, so be prepared for a fill of culture and a jam-packed photo reel. Top picks include the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood (and make sure to go inside, too) and the State Hermitage Museum for the colourful contrast they provide against the moody surroundings. Any wintery pictures you take while exploring St. Petersburg will surely look like something straight out of old-fashioned Russian literature. And that’s only one of the attractions.
