The northernmost city in the world is famous for its uniquely styled palaces, churches and schools. The Bronze Horseman statue still stands proudly in the middle of Senate Square, along with the Alexander Column and dozens of other monuments, arches, courts and bridges. With so many distinctive sights to see, Saint Petersburg is a must see for cold-weather vacationers.
