Judging by the frequency with which people around me talk about St Petersburg, I should be going there soon. Last time I visited the northern capital of Russia was in late August 2002, and no, I’m not going to wait till next year to mark the 10th annivesary since my last visit. The Russian Venice and I are passionately waiting to meet, and Peter and Paul Cathedral at the eponymous fortress is just one of the places I am longing to see. In August 2002 the cathedral was undergoing reconstruction, so it should look wonderful 9 years later.
What about you, dear readers: have you been to St Petersburg? What places in the city do you like the most?
