As Russia's second largest city and one of the great cultural centers of Europe, St Petersburg is an ideal internship destination for a variety of reasons one of the most unusual being that in late June , it stays light outside almost all night. There are many educational and scientific sites in Saint Petersburg and because it is the biggest port in Russia, the city is an important center of industry and trade. Products produced include nuclear reactors, electrical and power machinery, electronic goods, chemicals, clothes, and shoes.
With a population of almost 5 million St. Petersburg offers modern services, Mediterranean atmosphere, great climate (for a city so far to the north) and great cuisine within a manageable area - mostly walking distances.
Nothing can replace the learning benefits and fun of practical experience!
