About Saint Petersburg
Saint Petersburg is Russia's second city and former imperial capital, built on the Neva River and a network of canals. It is renowned for the Hermitage Museum, the Mariinsky Theatre and grand palaces such as Peterhof, as well as its White Nights in early summer, when the sky barely darkens.
The city runs on Moscow Time, UTC+3 all year, with no daylight saving. Russia spans eleven time zones, but Saint Petersburg shares its clock with Moscow. Because of its northern latitude, daylight varies greatly: in midwinter the sun rises late and sets mid-afternoon, while in June it barely sets at all.
