by Beatrice Grundheber and Larissa Mass Saint Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe; just a few hours by plane from many European cities, but underrated and still unknown to many.

![Something I really enjoyed about St. Petersburg is Sevkabel. It's a cultural center which was established as “The Place to Be” by local residents on Vasilyevsky Island last year. Cable drums used to be made here, and today, it is a vibrant heart of the young cultural scene. The iconic setting of the old industrial buildings is now home to design markets, food fairs, skate parks, and festivals. In addition to that, it is the perfect place to watch the sunset over the Gulf of Finland.
