St. Petersburg, Russia: A Guide to the Sights

St. Petersburg, Russia: A Guide to the Sights

Think about going to St. Petersburg in the summer for White Nights—a season that boasts up to 21 hours of daylight.

Petrograd

St. Petersburg was so named by Tsar Peter the Great, after his patron saint, who is traditionally pictured holding the keys to heaven. I wanted to get there quickly (12 hours, lol) so I flew through Warsaw, Poland on a night flight that leaves NYC in the evening and arrives a day later in time for dinner. I booked a flatbed on Lot Airlines, where the service was friendly and the food tasty. Hint: ask for a single window seat for maximum privacy. When I landed, I was greeted by a statuesque blonde holding a golden tablet that signals the luxurious hospitality experience that is the Four Seasons. I was whisked to the hotel in a 7-series BMW. read more

Even if you want a tropical feel on your sailing holiday, Spain can offer it too. read more

Spain train travel: learn about train routes in Spain

Spain train travel: learn about train routes in Spain

Spain train travel is a great way to get from one destination to another. In fact, trains are an increasingly cost-effective alternative to planes, particularly if you’re going a relatively short distance or if you’re traveling in the one of the high-speed long distance trains.

Unfortunately, the official Renfe website is difficult to navigate and is poorly translated into English… Over the years I have found that one of the most common questions other travelers like you have are related to Renfe’s network. Knowing this, you can easily plan your itinerary around Spain according to the available rail routes across the country. read more
