Took Allegro Train 3.5 hours downtown to downtown. Border agents for Finland and Russia on board the high speed train so no waiting at the border.
St. Petersburg has numerous UNESCO sites, from UNESCO, "The 'Venice of the North', with its numerous canals and more
than 400 bridges, is the result of a vast urban project begun in 1703 under
Peter the Great. Later known as Leningrad (in the former USSR), the city is
closely associated with the October Revolution. Its architectural heritage
reconciles the very different Baroque and pure neoclassical styles, as can be
seen in the Admiralty, the Winter Palace, the Marble Palace and the Hermitage."
