St. Petersburg takes a special place on Russia’s tourist map. This city is amazing with its diversity and organic mix of history and modernity. Both seasoned travellers who have seen many corners of the world and novices just beginning their tourist journey will agree on one thing: St. Petersburg can impress everyone! The romance of white nights, the pulsating energy of sporting events, famous drawbridges, palaces and parks celebrated by poets, the unique atmosphere of streets, embankments and courtyards – all this creates a unique image. Every year, more and more Indian residents are learning about this first-hand: India is one of the top five countries with the highest tourist flow to Russia’s northern capital. St. Petersburg is recognised as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and its historic centre is carefully preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
At the same time, it is the country’s largest economic, scientific and business centre. This unique combination makes the city incredibly attractive to business travellers. Russia’s northern capital is the perfect place to organise business events of any scale. This is facilitated by excellent transport links, a large number of hotels, a well-developed conference and exhibition infrastructure, and a rich cultural programme that harmoniously complements the business agenda. Every year, hundreds of major events are held in the northern capital, such as the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), the St. Petersburg International Cultural Forum of United Cultures, the St. Petersburg International Legal Forum, the Travel Hub tourism forum, and many others. Each of these events attracts thousands of guests from all over the world. For example, SPIEF 2025 alone was attended by more than 24 000 participants from 144 countries and territories, and 1 084 agreements were signed on the sidelines of the forum.
The list of tourist attractions in St. Petersburg is constantly expanding. New tourist destinations are being added to world-famous attractions such as the Hermitage, Tsarskoye Selo, and Peterhof. Dynamically developing public spaces present the northern capital as a creative modern metropolis, and vibrant festivals capture the imagination. In addition, guests can explore industrial sites as part of unusual excursions, attend exciting shows, enjoy boat trips, take part in wellness programmes at local resorts, or organise an unforgettable wedding holiday. St. Petersburg is the ideal starting point for exploring other regions of Russia. For example, the Two Cities, One Million Impressions project offers the opportunity to combine a visit to St. Petersburg and Moscow in one exciting trip. And the Silver Necklace of Russia routes allow you to immerse yourself in the rich history and culture of the Russian North. In the city on the Neva, everyone can plan their ideal trip according to their interests and budget.
There are more than 1200 hotels of various comfort levels and price ranges to choose from. The gastronomic diversity will also be a pleasant surprise: many St. Petersburg restaurants and cafés regularly get top positions in national and international ratings. Come to St. Petersburg again and again – in summer or winter, alone or with your family, for work or leisure. Each time, this wonderful city will reveal new sides of itself, delighting and inspiring you. St. Petersburg is at the BLTM (Business + Leisure Travel and MICE) international tourism exhibition, which is being held in New Delhi from 11 to 13 September. Here you can establish perspective connections, start new projects and simply discover the multifaceted St. Petersburg. See you at the St. Petersburg stand!
