A Christmas Fair in St. Petersburg

The square has been turned into a great Christmas space with a New Year’s tree, many shops, games and illumination. 70 little houses resemble the Christmas squares of the European cities, each house is selling both Christmas and New Year -related and non-related items and prepares many dilicious dishes of the traditional Russian cousine. The space is limited by erected walls with an arch as an entrance.
There is also a skating-rink with a price for services below the city’s average, just for 100 rubles. There are also many other attractions.
