St Petersberg, Russia

Hi Everyone, 🙂

From Moscow we took around 1.5 hours flight to St Petersberg. While Moscow was all full-of-buzz and happening, St Peterburg turned out to be a gorgeous destination with a lot of history. And it was sooooo beautiful that I have no words. The first view of the city was the parks laden with fresh snow. We stayed at gorgeous Four Seasons, St Petersbug. We had a terrace room with a little balcony overlooking the city and there was snow there as well. It felt like  a little fairytale wonderland. 🙂 The hotel was decorated in a festive mood so I got in a mood to dress up a little glam. I wore this crochet black dress with this gorgeous cashmere and fur coat. I picked up everything from Moscow. Felt both glam and cozy at the same time. 🙂

The first two days we mostly chilled out taking stroll in the snowy parks. We went to see the Church of the Saviour on Blood. Apart from the gorgeousness of the church, the area around it was so beautiful. The canal was frozen, there were ducks swimming on whatever little water was left, there were wedding shoots happening, and it was dammmmnnn cold. 😀

In the evening we went to see the famous light show that takes place every evening at the Hermitage. The building in front of the Hermitage turns into a backdrop for the light display. People gather there with their families, have fun and dance to the tunes of the lights and music. Very memorable. 🙂

I hope you enjoy the photos. Two more posts to come. Can’t wait to share more with you all. Wish you all a verryy Happy New year once again! :))

On March 13, 1881 (Julian date: March 1), as Tsar Alexander's carriage passed along the embankment, a grenade thrown by an anarchist conspirator exploded. The tsar, shaken but unhurt, got out of the carriage and started to remonstrate with the presumed culprit. A second conspirator took the chance to throw another bomb, killing himself and mortally wounding the tsar. The tsar, bleeding heavily, was taken back to the Winter Palace where he died a few hours later.

The Church contains over 7500 square meters of mosaics—according to its restorers, more than any other church in the world.
