White Nights

🌿 Nature & Wildlife Hidden gem 🇷🇺 St. Petersburg, Russia 📅 Mid-June – early July

St. Petersburg sits at 60°N — for three weeks the sun barely sets. Bridges open at 1:30am, ballet at 11pm, parties stretch into a non-existent dawn. Light, light, light, then 30 minutes of dusk.

Practical info
