A special highlight is the excursion to the Royal Village (Tsarskoe Selo), the favorite residence of Russian Empress Catherine II, with its world famous Amber Room. Definitely worth enjoying are the bascule bridges opening, picturesque folklore performances, the Hermitage tour and so on…
Only 2% of Russian agricultural output is produced in the district of Leningrad. Within the region agriculture plays a secondary part as well. Nevertheless, there are several interesting farms around Saint Petersburg, mainly specialized in dairy cattle breeding, but also in other fields, to complete the trip to Saint Petersburg by 2-3 interesting farm visits.
Saint Petersburg is less favorably logistically connected than Moscow, but its advantage are numerous international flights to Europa, including Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Within Russia Saint Petersburg is well connected per air and railroad. This allows to arrange flexible travel plans including several destinations, using multi-stop-flights (for instance, with arriving in Moscow and departing from Saint Petersburg or the other way round).
