This being said, temperatures of -20° C in winter are common enough; it is a good idea to carry an umbrella with you – always; and the wind from the Neva can be a real killer. Come prepared! Average temperatures for St. Petersburg: Summer + 20° C, 68 F Winter - 15° C, 5 F ►Back to top St.Petersburg's name What’s in a name? In Russia, a lot. The history of St. Petersburg’s name: 1703 – 1914 St. Petersburg 1914 – 1924 Petrograd 1924 – 1991 Leningrad 1991 – present St. Petersburg To Russians St Petersburg is known simply as ‘Piter’. Unlike other names of European capitals that consist of one word, the name Sankt-Peterburg consists of three parts each having its own meaning. Sankt from the Latin sanctus meaning holy; Peter, the name of the one of the twelve apostles, also meaning rock in Greek; and burg from the German and Dutch word meaning town. Thus, the name of the young capital unites the names of Peter the Great, his patron saint, as well as cultures of Ancient Greece and Rome, Germany and Holland. The name of the new Russian city and its symbols emphasize the connection with classical Rome the patron saint of which was the apostle Peter. Even the coat of arms of St. Petersburg with its two crossed anchors is remarkably similar to that of the Vatican. The history of the new Russian capital is imprinted in the architectural appearance of the city. The greatest reigns and architectural chefs-d'oeuvre of the 18th-20th centuries are embraced in one chronicle of St. Petersburg. ►Back to topJust browse our accommodation listings in St. Petersburg, including St. Petersburg hotel, apartments in St. Petersburg Russia and more to see how we can help you.
