The River Neva, lined with the Hermitage Museum's buildings, is one of the most beautiful sights of the city. The windows of the Winter Palace afford a fine view of the river slowly carrying its deep waters to the Gulf of Finland. However, it is so changeable: now it is ice-bound; now it is calm, with tourist river-boats plying all around; and now it is furious threatening to flood the city spreading out on its banks.
