Located on the banks of the River Neva, St Petersburg is Russia's second largest city and lies at the head of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea coast. The city's name was changed to Petrograd in 1924 but was later changed back to St Petersburg in 1991. Widely regarded as Russia's cultural hub it is probably the most western of all Russia's cities. St Petersburg's historic centre and related collection of monuments have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A popular tourist attraction in the city is The Hermitage, which is one of the largest art museums in the world. Located in the city are a large number of foreign embassies, international corporations, banks and other businesses. Unlike in Moscow, Saint Petersburg's historic architecture of the city centre, mostly consisting of Baroque and neoclassical buildings of the 18th and 19th centuries, has been largely preserved.
The city is served by passenger and cargo seaports in the Neva Bay of the Gulf of Finland, the river port higher up the Neva and tens of smaller passenger ports on both banks of the Neva River. It is a terminus of both the Volga-Baltic and White Sea-Baltic waterways.
The German city of Lubeck lies on the Baltic Sea coast in the north of Germany and is well known for its Gothic architecture and for the marzipan produced in the city. The 15th century Holstentor Gateway is perhaps the most famous attraction in the city and is comprised of two cylindrical towers which have a fairytale charm to them. Behind this is the medieval city which has many historic buildings which have collectively been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site since the mid 1980's. The Old Town area of Lubeck, called Altstadt, is bordered by the Trave River and is where most of the best sights are located and is just a short walk from the city's railway station and bus station.
The city's port is located in the Travemunde suburb of the city where visitors will also find a number of lovely sandy beaches.
