St Petersburg, briefly known as Leningrad, was founded by Peter the Great in 1703. It is associated with the birth of the Russian Empire and is considered the Northern capital. We were fortunate to have a Saturday free in this city, and doubly fortunate that work hired a driver and guide for us for the day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guide spoke fluent English, and walked us through some of the major historical and cultural highlights in the city before we were driven to Peterhof Palace, about an hour out of St Petersburg. She was really able to bring the history and culture of St Petersburg and Russia to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprise bonus! This is a beer we had in Belgium that, at the time, were unable to find at home. We found it in this pub in St Petersburg!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
