Even during our brief visits to foreign countries, we are looking for the opportunity of experiencing something different rather than just the regular sights and tourist attractions. At least we try local cuisine!

Now imagine yourself in St.Petersburg - the most “European” of all Russian cities. How to get acquainted with the unique culture of this country? What shall a foreign visitor do, if his time in St.Petersburg is limited, and he would like to try so many different things – ranging from national cuisine – to Russian music and dances?

Is there any chance for a foreigner to do that?

Our answer is YES!
