This variety of events will surely overwhelm you and make you forget about everything. You will plunge into the Middle Ages, Classicism and Palace Coups. You will touch the traditions of painting at Roerich Manor and even learn the culture of the Izhora people. You'll see well-preserved palaces as well as ghost manor houses, which have only a history written on paper, and the wild beauty of the Gulf of Finland and Lake Copan.
