90000 Weather and events guide in St. Petersburg, Russia. 90001 90002 Autumn is short in St. Petersburg, with weather that anyone but the natives would consider wintry coming in by the middle of October. After the excesses of the summer months, the season sees the city getting back to work and preparing for the long winter ahead. However, September itself is a wonderful time to visit St. Petersburg, with the glorious autumnal colors in the parks and gardens highlighting the city’s melancholy beauty.It’s also the start of the city’s cultural season after the August hiatus and, although there’s less excitement than surrounds the big summer festivals, a number of important premiers and openings guaranteed. 90003 90002 Fall foliage in Peterhof 90003 90002 Outside the city, the imperial palaces and their parks are at their very best, particularly Pavlovsk and Oranienbaum, their extensive landscape gardens decorated colored with every shade of red and brown. There are also fewer tour groups around to spoil their majestic tranquility.The same is true in the city’s museums and cathedrals, making this the perfect time to come for committed culture vultures who want to get the most out of St. Petersburg’s wealth of historical and artistic treasures. 90003 90002 The weather remains comparatively mild until mid-October, when the temperature begins to dip below freezing. If you’re lucky, you’ll get the chance to experience babe leto, literally ‘granny summer’, the Russian equivalent of an Indian summer that brings a week or so of warmth and sunshine at the end of September.90003 90002 As in the spring time, warm clothing — including scarf, gloves and a woolen overcoat — is recommended, as the weather can be extremely variable. If you’re going to take advantage of the excellent conditions to explore the city on foot, you should bring some solid waterproof shoes. 90003 .90000 St. Petersburg | Map, Points of Interest, & History 90001 90002 90003 St. Petersburg 90004, Russian 90003 Sankt-Peterburg 90004, formerly (1914-24) 90003 Petrograd 90004 and (1924-91) 90003 Leningrad 90004, city and port, extreme northwestern Russia. A major historical and cultural centre and an important port, St. Petersburg lies about 400 miles (640 km) northwest of Moscow and only about 7 ° south of the Arctic Circle. It is the second largest city of Russia and one of the world’s major cities.St. Petersburg has played a vital role in Russian history since its founding in 1703. For two centuries (1712-1918) it was the capital of the Russian Empire. The city is remembered as the scene of the February (March, New Style) and October (November, New Style) Revolutions of 1917 and for its fierce defense while besieged during World War II. Architecturally, it ranks as one of the most splendid and congenial cities of Europe. Its historic district was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1990.Area city, 550 square miles (1,400 square km). Pop. (2010) 4,879,566; (2012 est.) 4,953,219. 90011 90002 Britannica Quiz 90011 90002 World Cities 90011 90002 What Mexican port is famous for its cliff divers? 90011 90018 Character of the city 90019 90002 St. Petersburg is a mecca of cultural, historical, and architectural landmarks.Founded by Tsar Peter I (the Great) as Russia’s «window on Europe,» it bears the unofficial status of Russia’s cultural capital and most European city, a distinction that it strives to retain in its perennial competition with Moscow. Three distinctive characteristics of St. Petersburg engage attention. The first is the city’s harmonious mix of western European and Russian architecture. Second is St. Petersburg’s lack of an unequivocal city centre, which, in other Russian cities of medieval origin, is defined by a kremlin and its surrounding area.The third characteristic feature of the city is its many waterways. The short but full-flowing tributaries and canals of the Neva River that stretch to the Baltic coast are inseparable from St. Petersburg’s panorama. Many of the city’s most famed architectural sites stretch along the Neva’s historic embankments. Moreover, the bridges and natural canals of the river have earned St. Petersburg the nickname «Venice of the North.» Because of St. Petersburg’s northerly location, the city enjoys the «White Nights,» from June 11 to July 2, when daylight extends to nearly 19 hours-another of St.Petersburg’s most acclaimed characteristics. Among the cultural events devoted to celebrating the White Nights are the festivals organized by the Mariinsky and Hermitage theatres and the Rimsky-Korsakov St. Petersburg State Conservatory. Each night during the White Nights, the bridges spanning the Neva are raised to let boat traffic through. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, St. Petersburg imbibed a new energy as crumbling facades, potholed roads, and cultural landmarks were renovated. 90011 90018 Landscape 90019 90018 City site 90019 90002 St.Petersburg is located on the delta of the Neva River, at the head of the Gulf of Finland. The city spreads across 42 islands of the delta and across adjacent parts of the mainland floodplain. The very low and originally marshy site has subjected the city to recurrent flooding, especially in the autumn, when strong cyclonic winds drive gulf waters upstream, and also at the time of the spring thaw. Exceptionally severe inundations occurred in тисяча сімсот сімдесят сім, 1824, and 1924; the last two were the highest on record and flooded most of the city.To control the destructive floodwaters, the city built in the 1980s an 18-mile- (29-km-) long dike across the Gulf of Finland. A number of canals also have been cut to assist drainage. 90011 90002 Greater St. Petersburg-the city itself with its satellite towns- forms a horseshoe shape around the head of the Gulf of Finland and includes the island of Kotlin in the gulf. On the north it stretches westward along the shore for nearly 50 miles (80 km) to include Zelenogorsk. This northern extension is an area of ​​dormitory towns, resorts, sanatoriums, and children’s camps set among extensive coniferous forests and fringed by fine beaches and sand dunes.Some upper-class St. Petersburg residents also have summer cottages, or dachas, in this area. On the southern side of the gulf, the metropolitan limits extend westward to include Peterhof and Lomonosov. Eastward, Greater St. Petersburg stretches up the Neva River to Ivanovskoye. 90011 Get exclusive access to content from our тисяча сімсот шістьдесят вісім First Edition with your subscription.
