M&M Art Travel invites you to make an unforgettable winter trip to St.
Petersburg! The city is well-known for its White Nights in summer, but all
too few have experienced the beautiful Northern Winter. Dark nights with
soft, shimmering snow, bright, short, and frosty days are the order of the
day and make the city of St. Petersburg unique and unforgettable.
The first snows fall in November and the mighty Neva begins to
freeze. The city turns into a new romantic spectacle as snow
covers its famous landmarks and parks. Great architectural and
elegant forms and colors become more magnificent in the winter
landscape. In the winter, dazzling gold spires and cupolas tower
over the city, framed by a high transparent sky in a unique winter
wonderland.
Winter in St. Petersburg will amaze you with its
numerous musical festivals, masquerade balls, sport dance
tournaments, and international cinema festivals.
The works of Russia's most talented musicians -
Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky and Rimsky-Korsakov - are at their best
performed here in their cultural homeland. On this tour you will
have a chance to visit the best city museums and theaters in
virtual privacy, to ride a troika in the countryside, and to taste
steaming bowls of Russian borsch and other foods and drink that
fortify you against the winter.
Late winter months brings Maslenitsa. Maslenitsa - is something
very Russian to experience!!! Maslenitsa is celebrated for a whole
week before Lent. This is a time of pancakes with caviar and
vodka, group merrymaking, and storming of snow fortresses. This
old Russian tradition of seeing-off the winter came from the
pagans and is still alive and well today in Orthodox Russia! This
is one of the merriest winter holidays in Russia when you'll feel
yourself feeling like a Russian. Come and see Imperial sparkling
St. Petersburg and enjoy Russian traditional holidays and
delicious cuisine.
Another compelling reason to take the Winter Tour is that nearly every
museum, palace, and restaurant is free from other tourists and the dollar
goes a lot further in the winter. It is like taking a very private tour of
your own of the most fabulous sights imaginable!
