Fertility Clinic based in&nbsp;St Petersburg after&nbsp;a failed attempt at&nbsp;a clinic in&nbsp;the UK.\u00a0 St Petersburg was always a city that&nbsp;we had wanted to visit but&nbsp;we had heard mixed reviews of what it was like for&nbsp;tourists and&nbsp;so&nbsp;we were slightly apprehensive as&nbsp;we landed at&nbsp;the airport on&nbsp;our first visit in&nbsp;September 2014.<\/p>\n<p>As&nbsp;we came through customs and&nbsp;were met by our driver we were pleasantly surprised at&nbsp;how friendly people were.\u00a0 Our driver was truly fantastic, talking to us as&nbsp;he took us to our hotel about the city and&nbsp;suggesting lots of things to do and&nbsp;places that&nbsp;we should visit.\u00a0 He also gave us loads of really interesting details about what it was like to live in&nbsp;St Petersburg and&nbsp;about the history of the city.<\/p>\n<p>On&nbsp;the drive to our hotel we were very impressed by the size and&nbsp;grandeur of some of the really beautiful buildings, the cleanliness of the city and&nbsp;the feeling of being immersed in&nbsp;the history of St Petersburg.<\/p>\n<p>We arrived at&nbsp;our hotel, the Astoria, and&nbsp;once more were impressed by the friendly and&nbsp;helpful greeting that&nbsp;we received from the hotel staff.\u00a0 They checked us in&nbsp;and&nbsp;offered us assistance in&nbsp;helping make our stay as&nbsp;enjoyable as&nbsp;possible by recommending restaurants and&nbsp;things that&nbsp;we might like to do during our time here.\u00a0 The hotel itself was beautiful and&nbsp;we were delighted with our choice.\u00a0 The staff continued to offer assistance throughout our stay and&nbsp;nothing was too much trouble for&nbsp;them.\u00a0 We were always greeted with smiles and&nbsp;a friendly attitude by them in&nbsp;all parts of the hotel.<\/p>\n<p>During our stay in&nbsp;St Petersburg we spent a lot of time walking around the city.\u00a0 Before&nbsp;we arrived we had been concerned about safety in&nbsp;the city but&nbsp;once we were there we relaxed completely.\u00a0 We felt totally safe as&nbsp;we walked around exploring the cities amazing museums, churches, shops and&nbsp;restaurants.\u00a0 We visited the spectacular Hermitage and&nbsp;Faberge museums and&nbsp;could have spent days just looking at&nbsp;the wonderful exhibits and&nbsp;rooms, indeed we have been back several times since&nbsp;our first visit!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ui image circular fl w250\" src=\"\/upload\/image\/20161228032459732f.jpg\" alt=\"Thoughts on&nbsp;St Petersburg from our patients\" \/> We also managed to get to see the Nutcracker ballet at&nbsp;the small theatre at&nbsp;the Hermitage and&nbsp;on another visit saw an opera at&nbsp;the famous Mariinsky theatre.\u00a0 Both were brilliant and&nbsp;it was lovely to see so&nbsp;many families with children attending the performances.<\/p>\n<p>What struck us was that&nbsp;wherever&nbsp;we visited people were so&nbsp;friendly and&nbsp;helpful and&nbsp;wanted to make sure that&nbsp;we enjoyed our time in&nbsp;this beautiful city.<\/p>\n<p>Another wonderful surprise was the fabulous food and&nbsp;choice of restaurants that&nbsp;StPetersburg has to offer.\u00a0 My husband and&nbsp;I enjoy eating out and&nbsp;trying new restaurants and&nbsp;StPetersburg has a fabulous selection of restaurants to try.\u00a0 We had such lovely food and&nbsp;didn\u2019t have one bad meal in&nbsp;the entire time that&nbsp;we were there.\u00a0\u00a0 There are some lovely little cafes serving wonderful teas, coffees and&nbsp;cakes as&nbsp;well as&nbsp;restaurants offering fabulous lunches and&nbsp;dinners.\u00a0 The staff at&nbsp;our hotel were happy to make recommendations for&nbsp;us and&nbsp;book tables for&nbsp;us.<\/p>\n<p>Both my husband and&nbsp;I fell in&nbsp;love with the city and&nbsp;have been back a few times since&nbsp;our first visit.\u00a0 Each time we go we see something new and&nbsp;love getting to know the city better with each trip we make.
