Viborg and a little bit Saint-Petersburg

I would like to tell you about my trip to small but very cute city Viborg! :))) I was dreaming about this trip to the city for a long-long time and at last it happened ;))) I have to say that it was very-very nice ;)))

We were in Saint-Petersburg lots of times, of course visited a lot of places. It is really nice and beautiful city ;))) I think that the most nice time to visit is since May, during the summer time, oh, this time is beautiful for traveling in it. During the other time it can be too windy, rainy, cold and etc. But we were lucky this time, the weather was quite good, not that cold ;)))

so what to visit:

- visit Neva Prospekt,
- St Isaac's cathedral;
- The Peter and Paul Fortressу
- The Stock Exchange and Rostral Columns;
- Hermitage;
- Palace Square & Alexander Column;
- The Bronse Horseman - Peter the great;
- Kazan Cathedral;
- Petergof - better in the beginning of May, all the fountaind work then ;)))

I can write and write, but there are so many places to visit ;))) The city really reach by culture and history ;))) we call Saint-Petersburg "Cultural capital of Russia" ;))) So all the time I am in saint-Petersburg I try to visit something new, but of course there are some "must to visit" ;))) my favourite is Petergof, if you visit it you will understand why ;)))

More about this nice city and all places that I advice to visit you can find out here:

Where to stay:

There a lot of Mini-hotel, the best variant will be if you check the rates on-line beforehand. Once I stayed in Neva hotel, it was quite good, very convinient cause it is in the center, it is cheap.

Hotels you can see here like an option:

But remember that in Saint-Petersburg there are a lot of mini-hotels, so it is possible to stay very cheap ;))) you don't need to spend money in order to have hotel in the center. The same "Neva" hotel was simple, but cheap and in the center ;)))
Tourism in the city:

It is quite touristic city, a lot of exhibitions offers, direcions in English, easy to orient in the city, so it would be quite ok to have good travel guide in order to visit the most beautiful places of the city ;)))
