Spanned by ornate bridges, the wide, fast-flowing River Neva divides this city of spectacular architecture in two. History seeps from every wall and the colours, scale and grandeur of the buildings seem almost too much to take in. Peter the Great’s "window on Europe," which saw the revolution that changed the world, is regaining its imperial splendour. At its historic heart are grand palaces, amazing museums and spectacular churches. Music, art and literature are in its soul - and partying is a way of life.
