This is a welcome guide to St Petersburg's 'other' museums, palaces, collections and gardens. This volume also includes information on: opening times, directions, what to expect, a brief history, and much more! St Petersburg is a city with an incredibly rich history and cultural heritage - founded by Tsar Peter I of Russia in 1703, it was the capital of the Russian Empire for more than two-hundred years.

From the Museum on the Crusier Avrora, the battleship that fired the first shots of the Russian Revolution, to the Komarov Botanical Gardens, "Saint Petersburg" is a superbly illustrated volume that offers readers a practical and insightful guide to the city's lesser known - but no-less important or impressive - museum, palaces, and collections.
