Subjects : The architecture of the city 'and' certainly the most 'famous St. Petersburg. City streets every building and 'a work of art. A few kilometers from the town stands Pitergoff that rea the Tsar's palace. Them there are beautiful gardens, beautiful parks and a fountain system that every day, at 17.00 (I think) makes a spectacle of water and music. St. Petersburg, given its geographical position, and 'always stat the most advanced cities of Russia. And 'in fact, it considered the cultural capital of the nation. In virtue of this you can photograph also many interesting characters. In short, St. Petersburg and 'an interesting destination for those who love architecture and for those who love street photography. In over Saint-Petersburg and 'famous for the phenomenon of "white nights". A period of almost a month, from late May to late June, when the sun stays above the horizon for more than 20 hours a day. There 'also the top time (I seem to early June) in which for two or three days the sun does not drop at all below the horizon and therefore also of notes has sunlight.

Recommended equipment : For architecture definitely a wide angle of quality and a tripod. For the street recommend the classic focal for this use (28-35) and a fixed a little bit more 'long for some possible environmental portrait and / or especially.

Best months : Being in the north of Russia and Europe, St. Petersburg not 'famous for good weather. The winter and 'long, cold and snowy. Spring and autumn are very rainy. The summer (June and July) are tempered with temperatures rarely exceed 25 degrees. So I highly recommend June and July.

How to get there : From many European cities there are direct flights. Otherwise via Moscow. Finland is easily reached by coach due to proximity to the Finland-Russia border.

Visits : The museums are all paid but the prices are moderate.
