The White Nights Mystery

St. Petersburg  has been called the "Northern Capital", "Northern Venice", Northern Palmira", and, of course, the "City of White Nights".

From the middle of June till early July the nights are bright in St Petersburg. The White Nights (Beliye Nochi) are a curious phenomenon caused by St. Petersburg's very northerly geographical location.

What could be more romantic than a walk along the banks of the city's rivers and canals in almost broad daylight, no matter what the time of day? During a White Night palaces, cathedrals, bridges, monuments create an unforgettable feeling of unreality and mystery. No other major European city can rival this experience nor the atmosphere on the streets of St. Petersburg during the summer months - lively, friendly, romantic and bustling with people throughout the night as well as the day!

Making the night tour, you get a unique opportunity to look at drawbridges that are also considered to be hallmark of the city.
