Dear Alex,
I have moved to the beautiful city of St. Petersburg recently. It is extremely beautiful, unique, mysterious and amazing. It's a fairy city, a real city-museum! There are a lot of landmarks in St. Petersburg. It is impossible to list all its palaces, museums, theatres, monuments, parks... For example, the 'bronze horseman' is one of the famous monuments in Russia and I think everybody in our country knows it. The Northern capital of Russia is included on the list of the most beautiful cities in the world. Among the attractions of the city there is the Hermitage, the Russian Museum, Kazan Cathedral, Church of the Savior on Blood, and many more. Petersburg strikes with a unique mix of different styles in architecture.The main square of St. Petersburg is Palace Square. It is three times larger than Red square and it is the main square for all major events, concerts and festivals held in St. Petersburg. In the Winter Palace, which now houses the Hermitage Museum there is a huge picture gallery with over 3.000.000 masterpieces. Come to St. Petersburg, and you will be able to see all the beauty with your own eyes!
That's all for now.
Take care and keep in touch.
Best wishes,
Andrei
