Throught its existance, it has changed its name quite a few times. It is also the second biggest city in Russia other than Moscow with a population of 4.6 million people. The main reason to why i choose Saint Petersburg is because i know their football team has been very succesful over the last few years, and it is considered the best in Russia. I would get there by traveling in a plane because that is really the best option other then a boat, which will take quite long.
