St Petersburg, Russia

We had three days in St. Petersburg.  On Day 1, we went on a "Panoramic St. Petersburg" bus trip.  It rained all day, which our tour guide said is typical for the city.  Apparently, they get all of 30 days of sunshine a year.

Can you guess which stop on our cruise accepted all forms of currency, including US Dollars, Euros, and local currency?  Why, St. Petersburg, Russia!  They are quite obviously set up for tourists.

This statue of Nicholas I is apparently unusual in that the horse has only two feet on the ground




An original lighthouse; the city has saved their two original lighthouses
