only been there once, stayed in a little hotel by the Hermitage, along the canal, had a lovely canal with what my husband maintains was/is the best spaghetti Bolognese he has ever eaten. They best part is there were pictures of Hillary all around, the tiny cafe's claim to fame? Anyway, we age there a few times breakfast mainly and got friendly with a waitress who wanted to make sure we saw the picture of her with Hillary. She was beaming. Especially when we said we loved Hillary. No Bill so I'm assuming she was there when she was sec of state.

Personally, I like Moscow better. Since St. Petersburg was basically all built at the same time it is a little one note for me. Moscow is grittier and has more history (duh). Both have excellent subway stations. Works of art. We took tours of both subway systems to make sure we didn't miss anything. Highlight of my trip. I remember reading about them in college and always wanted to go. We took a night train to St. Petersburg from Lithuania which was very strange. When they came to check our passports as we crossed the border they brought everyone in to see us, I'm not sure they'd ever had Americans on that train. This was just a few years ago and we couldn't buy the train tickets from the US. We had to have the hotel in Vilnius get them for us.
