Puschkin
used to be one of the Russian ruler’s country seats, decorated with
sculptures, pavilions and palaces. The Palace of St. Catherine the Great
now holds a large selection of jewellery, furniture, paintings as well as
porcelain and weapons.
St. Petersburg, the 'Venice of the North’, is only 15 minutes by public
transport away. Built on over 40 isles which are joined by 350 bridges, this
metropolis is a must to see. The heart of the town is home to the winter palais,
the ministry and Alexander’s Column. It displays paintings by Rubens,
Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci, Titian and many other artists.
We recommend a visit to Isaac Square in front of Isaac Cathedral which is one
of the most beautiful monuments from the 19th century.
St. Petersburg has over 140 museums, we recommend a visit to the Hermitage
and the Church of the Resurrection.
St.
Petersburg’s nightlife is unique – only to be compared with
Rome, Paris or London. During the Summer months, lovers will find pure romantic
in the ‘White Nights’, a natural phenomenon.
Our school organises various excursions and an interesting cultural programme.
