San Pietroburgo is a magical city, due to its geographical location, just a stone’s throw from the Arctic Circle which, from mid-May to mid-July, means the sun never goes to sleep and its famous White Nights become a great opportunity to experience it even more intensely, helped by the shows, concerts, and many initiatives that intensify, enlivening every corner.
The phenomenon of the White Nights of Saint Petersburg is truly interesting: it certainly falls within the natural state of things but it is undeniable that it has a magnetic charm for those living at other latitudes.
If by itself Saint Petersburg is a particularly beautiful city, probably the most beautiful in Russia, during the White Nights period 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 light plays of the White Nights in Saint Petersburg are enchanting and color the city with shades born from the combination of sun and twilight: a continuous chasing of sun and moon, light and darkness that, far from ending, gives wonderful landscapes.
Saint Petersburg is an open and hospitable city, as it was said, with the most important port in Russia and three airport hubs, where the tourist and business traffic is continuous and constant.
Therefore, events abound in Saint Petersburg, musical performances, activities at the Mariinsky Theatre and many opportunities to walk through the streets of Saint Petersburg and on the canals: how could you do otherwise, in the presence of this particular pink light that paints new suggestions on the city buildings and invites you not to go to sleep?
For a holiday in Saint Petersburg, this period of the “White Nights” is therefore particularly favorable.
