Come and visit Saint-Petersburg!
 
Hi, my name is Alina and I live in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. I've travelled all around USA and Europe and I totally loved it! I've met a lot of nice and friendly people how helped me to see their home countries. <BR> I'll be glad to give you any information needed about my wonderful city or to show you around. I like to communicate with people and make new friends. So come and visit St-Petersburg and I'll try to help you enjoy "The Venice of the North" <BR>Alina.

If you could please e-mail me and let me know of some of the fun things to do and neat places to go there that would be great.

Alina, <BR>Saint Petersburg is a beautiful place and it has a beautiful name. But why do they never call Venice the "Saint-Petersburg of the South?" :)

Hi, Alina! St. Petersburg is high on our list of places to visit. We met a lovely young woman from St. Petersburg in New York City last summer and she was just as enthusiastic as you are. I forgot to ask her - when is the weather most pleasant for visiting - when the gardens are in bloom?

Rue, a must-see castle is Peter and Paul fortress (it was built at the time of Peter The Great). The entrance fee for foriegners would be about 10$(but if you go with Russian, you can get in way cheaper :))
