Situated in Russia's west, on the Baltic Sea, St Petersburg is a powerful combination of both East and West, springing from the will and passion of its founder, Tsar Peter the Great. Home to cultural figures like Gogol, Tchaikovsky and Dostoevsky, St Petersburg has seen historic events like the end of the monarchy, the Bolshevik uprising and 1917's Revolution. This history is evident with hundreds of museums throughout the city. A major highlight of St Petersburg is Katherine's Winter Palace, the former residence of Russian Tsars. Situated on the Palace Square it is one of the most beautiful architectural ensembles in the world.
