Venue
Although just 300 years old, St. Petersburg has a rich and exciting history, full of dramatic events and major historical figures. Founded in 1703 by Emperor Peter the Great as his "window on the West", St. Petersburg enjoys a vibrant, cosmopolitan atmosphere and some of the most beautiful architecture in Europe. Streets and avenues of the city are a combination of a unique architectural ensemble created by famous architects. From the mysterious twilight of the White Nights to world-beating opera and ballet productions on magical winter evenings, St. Petersburg charms and entices in every season.
Saint-Petersburg is located in Northern Europe, alongshore the Gulf of Finland, at the estuary of the Neva River, and holds the status of Russia’s Northern Capital.
