great shots. was totally unaware of that building

Nice thread. The Tsarist era buildings are still the best in the city. That supertall looks grotesquely out of place.

I enjoyed your tour & pics. Though I'm not a big fan of palaces, it's wonderful to see so much of the city (including palaces) restored after the being leveled in WW2. Thanks for sharing your trip.

Absolutely stunning and near the top of my list.

this city look pretty amazing.

Awesome

Thanks for this. I'm fascinated by St Petersburg. Street-level photos of Russian cities are always appreciated. It's hard to wrap my head around exactly what they're like. They have these big wide car-dominated streets, with pretty European buildings lining them with tiny sidewalks that seem to often lack retail. From afar, Russian cities seem maybe as dysfunctional as American ones, and in similar-but-not-quite-the-same ways.
Get any photos of the trams? Saint Petersburg has one of the world's largest streetcar networks. |

St Petersburg looks like a wonderful city, the most European looking Russian city, great pics! I followed the construction of Lakhta Center, it was a big surprise to me when I first heard of the project since St Petersburg is known as a lowrise city while Moscow is more known for skycrapers.

Thanks so much for the memorable tour. I like the tall tower just standing alone with no competitors. Let's hope there's an observation deck at top. So glad that Hitler never leveled this city. He had dreams of leveling Moscow and creating a whole new city.

Nice pictures!
