Overview

Saint Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities of Europe; but because of its checkered 20th-century history, it is still one of the least known. This guidebook is exclusively devoted to the lesser-known museums in the city. Whether in the Avrora, the ship that started a revolution, in Peter the Great's original Log Cabin, or in the individual museums of Bread, Vodka, the Circus, Toys, Railways, Botany, Religion, War, Occupation, or the Arctic; or in the Kronstadt Fortress or Catherine the Great's Chinese Palace, the wealth of heritage and culture is inexhaustible. Each place described is of special and enduring interest.
