I'll have to say that Saint Petersburg is the most delicious city in Russia, and I mean most delicious! Crafted from 1703, St Petersburg was only driven by an intention of Peter the Great to build a city on a swamp and it had soon become the capital city of Russia just 10 years right after the first brick had laid on the ground to turn Russian Empire's capital from Moscow to the West and gain its access to the sea. Nowadays, St Petersburg mesmerizes visitors with magnificent scenes of Baroque urban where you can barely find it somewhere else on Earth. In over 300 years, the city has had many faces. It became the national pride since the Soviet time; today it's a window to Europe, a Russian cultural hub, a mix between classic and modern world, and a perfect time capsule where you can travel back to those good old grandeur-days. St Petersburg combines various flavors in itself and it's a combo bite that will impress you for a lifetime.
