Local people and tourists from all over the world celebrate the ‘White Nights' with endless all-night activities. You can enjoy festivals, ballet, opera or try good foods as bars and restaurants stay open until the morning hours. Some people love to go to this poetic city just to walk along the Neva River banks with their loved ones and witness the raising of the bridges. Some others like to go swimming in Lake Ladoga and stroll in the famous Summer Gardens. There's one highlight that you can't miss if you're in St. Petersburg on June 22nd.
