Back to the city on the Neva 🛥 Early September found me back in St. Petersburg. While not my first visit, the city welcomed me like an old friend – familiar charm infused with fresh discoveries. The Hermitage still awed with its opulence, the Peterhof fountains sparkled as always, but this time I ventured beyond the well-trodden tourist paths. Autumn painted the city in a special light. Parks donned golden hues, and the cool air whispered of centuries past.
