Enormously beautiful
Yes, I do live in St.Petersburg. But it's not the main reason why I love it. I've travelled a lot and I can compare. It's big, it's different, it's enormously beautiful. It is an aristocratic city for clever, interesting, broad-minded and artistic people. This is a cold and aristocratic city. The white nights are unforgettable.

I am very much in love with it
I have never visited St. Petersburg but I am very much in love with it. I was introduced to it through reading of Dostoevsky's characters strolling along its streets in vain; there he lived and wrote his masterpieces. I know that apart from the wonderful architecture and fantastic Hermitage Museum, so many things are awaiting me once I get to visit it. It goes so far that I display a great liking of men from St. Petersburg, needless to say, mostly only because they are from St. Petersburg!

The window into Europe
Well! What can I say about Saint Petersburg! The window into Europe. What a colourful city. Peter the Great was an open minded Tsar and hired architects from all over Europe. His small house in the Peter Palace was based on Versailles. The European Mint back in the 1700 was based in St Petersburg. The people are warm and the Russian accent is easier to understand. There's a wealth of palaces, culture and history. It has the best ballet in the world based on the Vaganova method and amazing classical music. It's my favourite city.
