Love art? Why not try a Russian Easter?
Easter has returned from decades of obscurity in St. Petersburg, and now hosts a variety of processions, church services and festivals. Take advantage of the ‘Easter Dreams for Art Lovers’ package from The Rocco Forte COllection’s Hotel Astoria between 20th and 25th March 2008 and you too could sample the celebratory atmosphere. Prices start at 64,050 rubles (approximately 1,830 euros) and includes 3 nights accommodation, Champagne, private tours of the Hermitage Museum and the Imperial Palaces, a Russian classical massage and a Russian Table buffet at Davidov restaurant.

Would definitely recommend a visit to Ste Petersburg, I visited during the winter when the snow was up to your knees. Was so impressed at the russian ladies walking through the snow in their high heels. Visits to the Hermitage, Catherine’s Palace, St Isaacs Cathedral and the Church of Spilled Blood are all essentials.
I definitely want to go to St. Petersburg because of Andrew Zimmern’s Bizarre Foods episode that made the people look so NICE.
