俄羅斯圣彼得堡

得分：94.323

俄羅斯第二大城市圣彼得堡已經(jīng)走出了蘇聯(lián)時(shí)期的陰影，重新激發(fā)了人們的興趣。宮殿和大教堂從糖果樂(lè)園開(kāi)始向外直線延伸，它們有薄荷綠色的幕墻，金色尖頂和有馬賽克裝飾的外觀。莫斯科風(fēng)格復(fù)興教堂、冬宮（內(nèi)為埃爾米塔日博物館）和圣彼得和圣保羅大教堂，均是不可錯(cuò)過(guò)的名勝古跡。夏天來(lái)到圣彼得堡，可以在溫暖的下午爬上圣以撒主教座堂的柱廊，欣賞整個(gè)城市的全景，還可以在亞歷山大公園野餐，欣賞公園內(nèi)的數(shù)十座雕像。俄羅斯的藝術(shù)與政治并不相互排斥，新建成的可容納2000人的馬林斯基新劇院便是最好的證明。

St. Petersburg, Russia

Score: 94.323

Russia’s second-largest city has emerged spectacularly from its shadowy Soviet past. Palaces and cathedrals are pulled straight from Candyland, with their colorful mint-green facades, golden spires, and the richly-mosaiced exteriors. The distinctly Moscovian Church of the Resurrection, the Winter Palace (which houses the Hermitage Museum) and the Cathedrals of Saints Peter and Paul are can’t-miss sights in St. Petersburg. Arrive in the summer for comfortably warm afternoons climbing the colonnade at St. Isaac’s Cathedral for panoramic views of the city, as well as picnics in the Alexandrvovsky Garden and hunting for the dozens of statues spread throughout. Art and politics in Russia are not mutually exclusive, and this can still be witnessed today at the new 2,000-seat Marinsky II theater.
