St Peterburg’s City Day 2010

St Peterburg's City Day 2010

St Peterburg Celebrated its 307th Birthday on Thursday 27th May 2010, however the celebrations went on for 4 days until Sunday 30th May, however we arrived in St Petersburg the morning after the official City day, but after a day of work, food, drink we didn’t see much of the events of the weekend until the next day.

We arrived into St Petersburg Pulkovo 1 airport from Moscow to be greeted by the damp cold that you just don’t get in Moscow, we took a cab we booked at the airport right into the historic Centre by St Isaac’s Cathedral where our hotel was for a reasonable 700 rubles.
