Un viaggio di soli cinque giorni, troppo pochi per ammirare e fotografare al meglio questa splendida città sulle rive del mar Baltico, soprattutto se si finisce per trascorrere la maggior parte del tempo in locali a divertirsi con gli amici.
Sufficienti però a lasciarsi rapire dalla classe del suo centro storico, adagiato fra il fiume Neva e i suoi diversi canali, e a godere della sua architettura maestosa e al contempo ricca di grazia. Oltre a vagare tra la Prospettiva Nevskij e le rive del Neva è importante non sottovalutare la periferia, dormire e aggirarsi anche solo per qualche giorno in uno dei tanti quartieri satelliti costruiti in puro stile sovietico è un’esperienza unica.

 

Un viaje de solo cinco días. Demasiado corto para admirar y fotografiar lo mejor de esta hermosa ciudad a las orillas del mar Báltico, especialmente si terminas pasando la mayor parte del tiempo en bares para disfrutar con amigos.
Pero el tiempo fue suficiente para fascinarme con la grandeza de su antiguo centro, ubicado entre el río Neva y sus diferentes canales, y para gozar de su arquitectura, majestuosa y al mismo tiempo llena de gracia. Además de deambular entre el Nevsky Prospect y las orillas del Neva, es importante no subestimar la periferia; Dormir y caminar incluso por unos días en uno de los muchos barrios satélites construidos segùn la verdadera moda soviética es una experiencia divina.

 

Just a five-day trip. Too short to admire and photograph the best of this beautiful city on the shores of the Baltic Sea, especially if you end up spending most of the time in local pubs to relax with friends.
But long enough to fascinate me with the grandeur of its old city center, nestled between the Neva River and its different channels, and for me to enjoy its architecture, majestic and at the same time full of grace. In addition to wandering between the Nevsky Prospect and the banks of the Neva, it is important not to underestimate the periphery; to sleep and walk around even for a few days in one of the many satellite neighborhoods built in true Soviet fashion is a unique experience.
