• Scientific St. Petersburg: See a Different Side to the City

  St. Petersburg isn’t just about the Palace Square, St. Isaac’s Cathedral, sphynxes, buns, and shawarma (the things it’s commonly associated with in Russia). It’s here that the Russian Academy of Sciences was founded and where the great Russian researchers, from Lomonosov and Mendeleev to Pavlov and Vavilov made their contributions to science.
