Cruise the Venice of the North, with Lonely Planet’s St Petersburg City Guide on your iPhone. Built-to-order by Italian architects on the whim of a Tsar, known periodically as Petrograd and Leningrad and home to a higher concentration of cultural wonders than anywhere else in Russia, ‘Piter’ is a complex and changeable beast. All the more reason you’ll need the world’s leading guidebook publisher in your back pocket when you go!

Of course, any guidebook can tell you when to visit the Hermitage, guide you to the stunning façade of Chesme Church, or give you the lowdown on Belozersky Palace. But can just any guidebook let you pinpoint your exact location on dynamic, GPS-enabled maps, search for 100s of independently-reviewed bars, hotels, restaurants and clubs, read in-depth local reflection on the life of the city, or take a walking tour in the footsteps of Raskolnikov? No? Then LP’s the go!
