Study Russian in St Petersburg

Learn Russian in St Petersburg

Founded in the 18th Century by Tsar Peter I, St Petersburg was capital of the Russian Empire for over 200 years, and today is the country's political and cultural centre. The city has more historic architecture than Moscow, with many fine examples of Baroque and neoclassical buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries. The city is home to more than 200 museums and 50 theatres and all this makes St Petersburg the perfect location to immerse yourself in the Russian language and culture!
