With a colourful past stretching back to its eponymous founder Tsar Peter the Great in the 1700s, the city of Saint Petersburg is widely considered the cultural and historical capital of Russia. Situated at the far-eastern end of the Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea, the metropolis is home to a plethora of international banks and businesses as well as a major seaport that specialises in the export of gas and oil throughout Europe. The clash of architecture found in the city centre is testament to its multifaceted past. The monumental Winter Palace, once the home of Russia’s monarchs, is a dramatic Baroque structure on the shores of the palace embankment, while the gold-trimmed bell towers of the Smolney Convent to the south of the Neva river soar into the Russian skyline. The port of St Petersburg is located on the western edge of Vasilevsky Island, a district of the city that is separated from the mainland by a fork of the Neva River. There is no overground train to the island, though an underground line runs from the south of the city to Primorskaya station just a half an hour walk from the harbour. Buses and Marshrutkas (city mini-buses) regularly make the short trip over one of the island’s four bridges too, taking passengers within minutes of the ferry terminal from stops across the city. The cruise terminal, named Marine Façade, won the Best Port award in 2009 due to its comfortable, modern facilities that allow for the smooth handling of passenger traffic. The large building houses a cash machine, post office and souvenir shop, as well as a designated meeting spot for tour guides who offer trips through the historic streets of St Petersburg. Ferries operated by St Peter Line leave the port a number of times throughout the week. All of the routes sail west across the Baltic Sea to stops in Stockholm, Sweden; Helsinki, Finland; and the multiple day trip to Tallinn in North Estonia.
Lubeck is a small city neighbouring Hamburg, located on the north coast of Germany, bordering the Baltic Sea. The ferry port is found in the borough of Travemunde and is oftentimes referred to as Travemunde Port; it provides ferry routes to regions of Scandinavia, with the sailing to Malmo being the most common. Lubeck’s desirability lies in its anonymity; the famous city of Hamburg is only five minutes away, so the draw of a big city attracts many visitors heading to the north of Germany. The fact that Lubeck has remained relatively untouched by tourism is all the more reason to visit: the array of historical landmarks on display makes it the perfect location for anyone with an interest in history. The main attraction is the old city which is listed as a UNESCO heritage site, showcasing the medieval history of the town by the stunning architecture on display. Considering the old town is still a living city as opposed to a site purely for the benefit of tourists, a more organised and educational visit to the landmark of Holstentor could be worthwhile. As well as Holstentor, there a couple of museums that are easily accessible, offering an insight into the history of the area. To witness all the main sights in Lubeck, it is probably best to travel around by foot, after all the city is renowned for the close proximity of its landmarks. There is a bus service operating in the city which is fairly easy to use, as well as a taxi service for quick and convenient travel.
