St. Petersburg is one of the most modern and well-known Russian cities. Historically built by Italian architects, its network of canals and baroque and neoclassical architecture give the town a European flavor. Being the northernmost big city in the world, St. Petersburg is known for its magical White Nights: those long summer days when the sun barely dips below the horizon. But even when the ground is covered in snow, the rich culture of St Petersburg delights. Park Inn by Radisson Pulkovo Airport St. Petersburg is only 18 kilometers away from city centre. It is perfectly connected by public bus transport departing every 15 minutes.
