How can I contribute?Why you should go to Saint Petersburg!
Saint Petersburg, founded by Peter the Great in 1703, is a seductive city with a rich imperial history cultivated over its two centuries as the seat of the Russian royals. The grandeur remains, well preserved in building upon building of Baroque and neoclassical architecture and displayed in hundreds of museums, libraries and theaters. The Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet, established in 1738 during the reign of Empress Anna, is one of the most renowned in the world, responsible for producing greats like Anna Pavlova, Rudolf Nureyev and Mikhail Baryshnikov.
Also known as the Venice of the north, the city is a major port on the Baltic Sea divided by a network of rivers and canals and made up of 44 islands, crisscrossed by hundred of bridges. Nevsky Prospekt, the main avenue, starts at the Admiralty and runs east to the Moscow Railway Station and on to the Alexander Nevsky Monastery, passing much the city's shopping, entertainment, nightlife and many of its monuments.
Russia may not be the first place that springs to mind for a carefree gay holiday, but the more liberal Saint Petersburg does have a small albeit more discreet gay scene, with several well established clubs, bars and even a sauna or two. Entrances are often unmarked and door policies discerning, but inside the party goes until dawn. A politically active community exists, although it is also smaller and less visible than other places in Europe. Public displays of affection between same-sex couples are best avoided.
