That is the first line of a Pushkin poem that is at the beginning of the Bronze Horseman and it is also how I feel about this city, the "Venice of the North."
Here are some pictures...

Dostoevsky's grave.

The battleship that fired the first shot of the Bolshevik Revolution. 

St. Isaac's Cathedral.
