Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This new Traveler guide brings you the best of St. Petersburg, the enchanted, canal-crossed gem built by Peter the Great. Having survived three revolutions and three name changes, the city still lives on gloriously. The guide reviews St. Petersburg's remarkable history, illuminating the city's love affair with history, architecture, ballet, and painting. You'll find directions to and descriptions of all the main sites—the formidable SS. Peter and Paul Fortress; the famed Hermitage Museum, housed in a series of historic buildings including the baroque Winter Palace; Palace Square; St. Isaac's Cathedral; Nevsky Prospekt—along with such lesser known attractions as the Church of Spilled Blood, Peter the Great's cabin, and the fascinating Museum of Musical Instruments.
Each book offers a wealth of practical information—including insider picks of hotels, restaurants, and driving and walking tours—combined with the sophisticated reporting and stunning photographs that are the hallmark of National Geographic.

Colorful, compact city guides are useful companions if you are visiting just one metropolis. And National Geographic's very first Russia title is a beautiful, well-written addition to this niche. Rare in this genre, the book has a single author (Jeremy Howard) and photographer (Yuri Belinsky). Both cover the territory with affection. The travel information is thorough and the attention to detail (i.e. museum hours right alongside the relevant text, instead of hidden away) is noteworthy. And, of course, since this is National Geographic, the maps are superb. (Reviewed in Russian Life)
