Day 1  India – Moscow – St Petersburg                                                                                         

Welcome to Russia !!!!!   Tourism in Russia has seen rapid growth since the late Soviet times, first inner tourism and then international tourism as well. Rich cultural heritage and great natural variety place Russia among the most popular tourist destinations in the world. The country contains 23 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, while many more are on UNESCO’s tentative lists.

After arrival at St.Petersburg and immigration formalities you will be met by our friendly staff who will assist you transfers to your booked hotel.

At just 300 years old (the city celebrated its 300th anniversary in 2003) St Petersburg is a mere baby compared with most of its European counterparts; yet the former Russian capital has had a full and varied life, its short history packed with action to rival the oldest of cities.

Cathedral of Peter & St PaulBuilt in the Neva River delta by Peter the Great to keep out the Swedes, the city swiftly rose to prominence despite its unpromising position in the middle of a swamp. It was with skilful planning, along with vast amounts of cash and a diligent workforce, that the Tsar realised his dream of building a state-of-the-art metropolis to outdo anything in Europe. Modestly he named it after himself, moving his capital here from Moscow in 1712.

Although in recent history the city has been renamed three times (to Petrograd, Leningrad and back to St Petersburg), undergone a 900-day siege by the Nazis and, in 1918, lost its status as capital, the grandeur from its heyday remains. Such a turbulent history has naturally taken a toll, leaving the city practically in tatters after the Second World War, but restoration work has been lovingly administered, leaving an air of faded glamour in this most European yet intrinsically Russian of cities.
