A word of warning to the photographer: I can not emphasize this enough: Unlike in Moscow, where he photographed the metro line (subway) is allowed, is strictly prohibited in St. Petersburg, and this law is enforced. Not only can not take pictures inside the subway, but you can photograph the exterior of the stations underground.

If the police see you shoot in or around the outside of the yards in St. Petersburg, if you're lucky you only have to pay the police, if not the may be taken to the local police station and pay a large fine there, you can even have your camera confiscated and spend time in the refrigerator. So do not try Photography inside the Saint Petersburg Metro, or outside the metro stations, which are nothing special. Wait a few meters and a truly impressive picture in Moscow.

Must see the photo sites:

There really is no way a list of all sites in any city in a small magazine article, so here is a short term, what I consider the sites to see. Of course it really depends on what your interests and your likes and dislikes. St. Petersburg is really Walker hands doing the tourist city street friendly. St. Petersburg has a volunteer group called "Los Angeles de San Pedro", who patrol the streets of San Petersburg to assist tourists in any way we can call the police, doctors, firefighters, help you find the addresses, including rescue tourists into trouble. Also, if you're a photographer looking to get some great photos, then give this group of tourists a consideration. From what I hear, this is one of the best tour operations in St. Petersburg and Pete is a very good person in everything I've heard from people who have used their service.

'Peterhof,' or Petrodvorets – "Peter's Palace" as it sometimes known is considered one of Europe's most beautiful palaces in Europe. Located on the southern coast of the Gulf of Finland, outside of St. Petersburg, this palace is one of the most famous in Russia. Peterhof, with its beautiful gardens, parks and picturesque palaces and fountains are famous worldwide. Peterhof was first mentioned in Peter the Great 's field diary entry dated 13 September 1705, when he stopped here during a boat trip of Kronstadt St. Petersburg. At that time only had an old farm on the side of the road. Peter chose a stopover on their journeys, and named after him. Here, he built a wooden palace in 1710.

In the spring of 1714, the first complexes that was built Peterhoft was Monplaisir Palace and the large mansion. Peter the Great played an important role in the design of the palace itself, some sketches with notes and drawings in his own hand survivetoday yet. Architects who participated in the construction of the park "Peterhof" including Johann Friedrich Braunstein, Jean-Baptiste Alexandre Le Blond, considered one of the architects talented and French experts of the time, the Italian Niccolo Michetti, Le Blond was appointed successor as Chief Architect of Peterhof, when Le Blond died. You may be surprised to learn that none of the fountains of Peterhof are powered by any type of water pumps, all done by gravity, however Tuvolkov designed, the first engineer hydraulic Russia.

Peterhof, rivals the splendor of the park-palace complexes in France, Germany and Italy, Europe struck the city as new construction St. Petersburg itself. Peterhof is considered an artistic miracle and shows the world the creative capacity of the Russian people. Tsar Peter the Great was able to fulfill their dreams, that made Russia the dark days and in the modern world, and Russia has held steady since then.
