Spring comes to St Petersburg at the very end of March, and can be one of the best times of year for sightseeing and culture, before the tourist rush of the summer. The city comes alive fast after the long winter and, despite the residual cold, the inhabitants tend to be in celebratory mood. The sight of the ice from Lake Ladoga flowing down the city's waterways out into the Gulf of Finland is quite spectacular.

Early May is another time for nationwide revelry, with two public holidays - May 1^st and Victory Day on May 9^th - only a week apart and very little work done in between. If you want to see parades, fireworks and Russian street parties, then this is definitely the time to come.

Dear friends,

Please be invited to
