Saint Petersburg Full City Guide - Russia Best Place - Travel & Discover
Swedish colonists built Nyenskans, a fortress at the mouth of the Neva River in 1611, in what was then called Ingermanland, which was inhabited by Finnic tribe of Ingrians. The small town of Nyen grew up around it.
At the end of the 17th century, Peter the Great, who was very interested in seafaring and maritime affairs, wanted Russia to gain a seaport in order to trade with the rest of Europe. He needed a better seaport than the country's main one at the time, Arkhangelsk, which was on the White Sea in the far north and closed to shipping during the winter.

Saint Petersburg (Russian: Санкт-Петербу́рг, tr. Sankt-Peterburg) is the second largest city in Russia, politically incorporated as a federal subject (a federal city). Situated on the Neva River, at the head of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea, it was named Saint Petersburg in 1703. In 1914, the name was changed from Saint Petersburg to Petrograd (Russian: Петрогра́д), in 1924 to Leningrad (Russian: Ленингра́д), and in 1991 back to Saint Petersburg.
Tsar Peter the Great founded Saint Petersburg on May 27 1703. Between 1713–1728 and 1732–1918, Saint Petersburg was the imperial capital of Russia. In 1918, the central government bodies moved to Moscow.
It is Russia's second-largest city after Moscow, with five million inhabitants in 2012, and an important Russian port on the Baltic Sea.. (Wiki)
The dominant natural feature of Peterhof is a sixteen-metre-high bluff lying less than a hundred metres from the shore. The so-called Lower Gardens (Nizhny Sad), at 1.02 km² comprising the better part of Peterhof's land area, are confined between this bluff and the shore, stretching east and west for roughly 200 metres. The majority of Peterhof's fountains are contained here, as are several small palaces and outbuildings. East of the Lower Gardens lies the Alexandria Park with 19th-century Gothic Revival structures such as the Kapella.
Atop the bluff, near the middle of the Lower Gardens, stands the Grand Palace (Bolshoi Dvorets). Behind (south) of it are the comparatively small Upper Gardens (Verhnyy Sad). Upon the bluff's face below the Palace is the Grand Cascade (Bolshoi Kaskad). This and the Grand Palace are the centrepiece of the entire complex. At its foot begins the Sea Channel (Morskoi Kanal), one of the most extensive waterworks of the Baroque period, which bisects the Lower Gardens.. (Wiki)
Yelagin Island is a unique protected natural complex. It is the northernmost island in the Neva delta, laved with Big Nevka in the north, with Central Nevka in the south and south-east, and shooting out with the narrow cape into the Gulf of Finland. At one time a royal residence, Yelagin Island since the middle of last century passed into the possession of the state and became the Central Park of Culture and Recreation, and from this moment it opened its doors to all comers.
Today Kirov Central Park is a dynamically developing cultural and recreational space, suitable for audiences of different age groups and interests.
In the park, in Yelagin island palace, there is the Museum of Russian arts and crafts and interior of XVIII-XX centuries, with a permanent exhibition on the first and second floors, which demonstrates the everyday objects of past epochs.For guests of the park there are prepared various excursion programs, telling the history of the park and palace. In the palace there are costumed tours which offer everyone to learn ballroom etiquette XIX century...

Saint Petersburg, City Tour by Car - Russia 4K Travel Channel
After landing at the airport Pulkovo in St. Petersburg, our guide Vera and the driver Gerna expect us already at the airport. During our city tour by car in Saint Petersburg we want to visit Catherine Park 25 km south-east of St. Petersburg, the Hermitage Museum and make a short city tour.
First, we do not drive towards the center of St. Petersburg but to the south to the city of Pushkin. Pushkin was Russia's national poet. He spent 6 years here, visiting the Lyceum in Zarskoe Selo (Tsar village), as the village of Pushkin was called at that time.
After the October Revolution, one called it Detskoje Selo (Children's village). One accommodated orphaned children in the Alexander Palace. Later, Pushkin spent a few years there with his family, until he died. The admiration of Pushkin by the population can be explained by the fact, that the nobility in Russia spoke French until the Napoleonic Wars. Pushkin's works led to a change of heart.
At the entrance of the city, we pass the Egyptian Gate and the Cathedral of Saint Catherine. The cathedral was destroyed by the Soviets and restored only in 2010. Afterwards, we reach Pushkin's house, which is now a museum. During our visit, the Alexander Palace is closed for restoration. Catherine II built the palace for the future Emperor Alexander II. He gave the building to his brother Emperor Nicholas I.
The building served the last Czar Nicholas II and his wife Alexandra as a permanent place of residence. Here they lived a secluded life until their deportation, to protect their son, who was a hemophiliac.
After visiting the Katharine Palace, which we will show in a separate video, we leave Pushkin again and drive via the Moskovsky Prospect (Moskovsky Ave) to the north, in the center of St. Petersburg. This boulevard was once the connecting road between the Summer Palace (the Catherine's Palace) and the Winter Palace (Hermitage) and leads directly to Moscow today.
Buildings from the Stalin era characterize the boulevard. It starts at the Victory Square where a huge memorial reminds of the 24 to 40 million dead of the Soviet Union. Particular attention is paid to the deaths of the siege of Leningrad, some 1.1 million people died from starvation. One of the most monumental buildings is the House of the Soviets with a typical Lenis statue on the square in front.

Nach unsere Landung am Flughafen Pulkowo in St. Petersburg werden wir von unserer Reiseleiterin Vera und unserem Fahrer Gerna abgeholt. Geplant ist der Besuch des Katharinenparks, der Eremitage und eine kurze Stadtrundfahrt.
Wir fahren zunächst nicht nach Norden in das Zentrum von St. Peterburg, sondern nach Süden nach Puschkin. Puschkin war Russlands Nationaldichter, der hier 6 Jahre das Lyceum in Zarskoje Selo (Zarendorf), wie der Ort Puschkin damals genannt wurde, besuchte. Nach der Oktoberrevolution nannte man den Ort Detskoje Selo (Kinderdorf), da man im Alexanderpalast verwaiste Kinder unterbrachte. Später verbrachte Puschkin hier im Ort einige Jahre mit seiner Familie bis zu seinem Tod. Seine Verehrung im Volk ist darauf zurückzuführen, dass der Adel bis zu den napoleonischen Kriegen in Russland französisch sprach. Puschkins Werke führten zu einem Sinneswandel.
Am Ortseingang passieren wir das ägyptische Tor und die St. Catherine Cathedral, die erst 2010 wieder restauriert worden war, nachdem sie von den Sowjets zerstört worden war. Anschließend erreichten wir Puschkins Wohnhaus, das heute ein Museum ist. Der Alexanderpalast war wegen Restaurierung geschlossen. Er ist von Katharina II. für den zukünftigen Kaiser Alexander II. erbaut worden. Dieser überließ den Bau seinem Bruder Kaiser Nikolaus I.
Als ständiger Wohnsitz diente der Bau aber dem letzten Zaren Nikolaus II und seiner Frau Alexandra. Hier führten sie ein zurückgezogenes Leben bis zu ihrer Deportation, um ihren Sohn, der ein Bluter war, möglichst zu schützen.
Nach der Besichtigung des Katharinenpalastes, die in einem eigenen Video gezeigt wird, verlassen wir Puschkin wieder und fahren über den Moskovsky Prospekt (Moskovsky Ave) Richtung Norden in das Zentrum St. Peterburgs. Diese Prachtstraße war einst die Verbindungsstraße zwischen Sommerpalast (Katharinenpalast) und Winterpalast (Eremitage) und führt heute direkt nach Moskau.
Die Straße ist gekennzeichnet durch Bauwerke aus der Stalin Ära. Sie beginnt beim Siegesplatz, wo ein riesiges Mahnmal an die 24 bis 40 Millionen Toten der Sowjetunion erinnert. Besonders bedacht werden die Toten der Belagerung von Leningrad, der ungefähr 1,1 Millionen Tote durch Verhungern zum Opfer fielen.
