St. Petersburg Travel Guide
Well, you can have it either way: a stylish elegant city as you know them in Florida combined with a green garden city with boulevards, white beaches and a dark blue sea only at a ten minutes' distance. As you might expect, St Petersburg attracts quite a hub of travellers who feel like relaxing at the seaside after a visit to Florida's Disneyland or its capital Tallahassee.
Snorkelling, swimming, surfing... think of whatever sorts of water sports and you'll definitely be able to exercise it here (or learn it?). Besides that, you can always watcha game of baseball in the famous St. Petersburg Tropicana Feild, current home of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
Exploring the shopping malls and the boulevard with exclusive shops (and great views) will guarantee a perfect outfit for one of the many restaurants, bars or discos. For those who want to see a bit more green, the Fort DeSoto Park might be an option. Rent a canoe, do some bird watching or go fishing. The nearby Boyd Hill Nature Park has a variety of hiking, biking and nature trails.
And of course, no big cities without famous (art) collections. The Museum of Fine Arts has an interesting collection and the Dali Museum claims to have the largest collection of works of the surrealist painter. The fourth largest museum of the US dedicated to the Holocaust and its devastating impact is also located in St. Petersburg.
