This city along the Neva River embodies some of Russia's greatest
treasures, and some ships stay in port overnight to allow passengers
time to see the myriad sites. A few of the major attractions include the
famous masterpieces at the Hermitage Museum, the baroque-style Winter
Palace, St. Isaac's Cathedral with its 300-foot gilt cupola and the
Bronze Horseman, a monument to Peter the Great.
