What is traveling for me?

It is the shining sun, the sea;

The golden sand which look like beads;

The blue-eyed sky and tender breeze.

What do I see when close my eyes?

A milk-white ship with two red strips;

The limpid clouds at the dawn

And sun, that rises all alone…

And when the twilight falls from height,

The night appears from heaven’s gate.I see the moon in magic light,And stars, that sparkle at the night.

That’s what I’m looking for in dreams,And they are my inspiring beams!I want to see it, to beholdAnd travel all over the world!

HotelsNearly 200,000 foreigners come to St Petersburg only by sea every year.

They can stay and live in different hotels. There are a lot of them in our city.Among the old hotels are the Astoria and the Grand Hotel Europe. Their interiors preserve the

elements of the late 19th early 20th centuries. But most of the hotels were built in postwar years. The largest are the Pribaltiiskaya on the shore of the Gulf of Finland in the ecologically clean

zone of the city. Here guests can enjoy a splendid view without leaving their rooms. The St Petersburg facing the Neva, the Pulkovskaya on Ploshchad Pobedy, the Oktyabrskaya

on Ligovsky prospect, the Moskva on Ploschad Alexandra Nevskogo are very popular hotels. The Nevsky Palace and The Grand Hotel Europe located on Nevsky Prospect have all you

expect of a five-star hotels.All of them are of luxe and top categories: they have hairdresser’s and barber shops, souvenir

and apothecary booths, newsstands, cloakrooms, post and telegraph offices, shops, selling exclusively for foreign currency, and of course, high top-class restaurants, bars, business centres, conference halls, saunas and swimming pools, variety shows, billiard clubs.

The floor clerks will serve the clients tea or coffee on one’s desire; call the porter; send the clients’ clothing to the laundry, repair shop or dry cleaners, lend an iron and tableware and call the doctor.

The hotel service bureau always will help the clients too. Here one can get information, order excursions and a car; buy tickets to the theatre or a concert and book air or railway tickets; make a long-distance or international telephone call.

They have everything at your disposal to make your stay in St. Petersburg a comfortable and unforgettable experience.

ADVENTURE HOLIDAYS

What kind of holiday do you prefer?Exciting and adventurous holidays or peaceful and relaxing holidays?

Here’s a test to find out which one is the ideal vacation for you.

You score: 3 points if you tick a, 2 points if you tick b,1 point if you tick c.

Above 42 points — AdventurousIf you could, you would always havea backpack, ready to leave for anadventurous journey. Holidays, for you, mean looking for adventure without organizing or planning before. You are enthusiastic and curious. You’d rather go to an unknown, undiscovered place than go back to a place you know well. It’s your curiosity that helps you to overcome every obstacle.

From 25 to 42 points — ImaginativeYou have a good dose of adventurous spirit and a good deal of courage, but you don’t like to get into trouble. You are quite enthusiastic about inventing hundreds of adventurous ideas. You should leave your school books and worries behind and use your imaginative quality to make new friends and to enjoy yourself.

Less than 25 points — PeacefulYou are a calm type. For you, an ideal holiday is sitting under a beach umbrella or relaxing under a tree in the silence of the countryside. Adventure activities don’t attract you. You like to meditate for some time before acting logically. Holidays, for you, should be a way to do sports and exercises and to meet new people

You should write a “for and against” essay on the topic we have discussed, about tourism in Saint-Petersburg.
