Saint Petersburg is a magical city, due to its geographic location, just a stone’s throw from the Arctic Circle which, from mid-May to mid-July, causes the sun to never set and its famous White Nights to become a perfect opportunity to experience it even more intensely, thanks to shows, concerts, and many activities that intensify, enlivening every corner of the city.
The phenomenon of the White Nights in Saint Petersburg is truly fascinating: it certainly fits into the natural state of things but undoubtedly has a magnetic charm for those who live in other latitudes.
If Saint Petersburg is already a particularly beautiful city, probably the most beautiful in Russia, during the White Nights everything is enveloped in a magical atmosphere, making the metropolis even more special in the summer period, from late May to late July, for just under two months.
The play of lights during the White Nights in Saint Petersburg is enchanting, coloring the city with shades born from the union of sun and dusk: a continuous chase of sun and moon, light and darkness that, far from ending, offers wonderful landscapes.
Saint Petersburg is an open and welcoming city, it was said, with Russia’s most important port and three airport hubs, where the tourist and business comings and goings are continuous and constant.
Events therefore abound in Saint Petersburg, musical performances, activities at the Mariinsky Theatre and many opportunities to stroll through the streets of Saint Petersburg and along the canals: how could it be otherwise when faced with this particular pinkish light that paints new impressions on the city palaces and invites you not to go to sleep?
For a holiday in Saint Petersburg, the “White Nights” period is therefore particularly favorable.
