The Northern Capital was recognized as one of the cities of Russia, where tourists tend to go.
St. Petersburg was included in the top three cities where tourists seek to spend a short vacation. This is reported by the Committee for Tourism Development.
According to experts, the growing popularity of short trips is due to the emergence of weekend tours, within which tourists can visit theatrical premieres or simply walk under the drawn bridges, "reboot".
Notably, people also come here for extended vacations. Only for the past six months, St. Petersburg was visited by more than 4 million tourists. Such data was previously announced by Governor Alexander Beglov.
