When you're in St Petersburg you'll be able to muse over art created by one of the world's all-time best surrealist artists, Salvador Dali, as well as contemporary glasswork. Explore the past in-depth and discover what it was like in pioneering times or have an immersive art experience in a fairground atmosphere that's totally of the modern age. And there are many more museums in St Petersburg besides these that are incredibly interesting too, so allow as much time as you can for visiting them.  

Fairgrounds St Pete: This museum is ultra-modern and as colorful as the work of Salvador Dali. Wander through this techno world of fifteen thousand square feet of artist-created digital interactive exhibits and you may well lose touch with reality. Don't worry, that's exactly what you're supposed to do, so enjoy the unique and very freaky experience.

The Dali: The Dali is one of the two museums in the world that is dedicated to preserving the legacy left behind by the surrealist Salvador Dali. Take a moment to absorb the structure of the building housing the Dali collections as it replicates Dali's interest in molecular structure. Once inside, you'll be able to browse more than two thousand Dali-related artifacts ranging from personal objects, book illustrations, paintings, and photographs. Make the most of the opportunity as, unless you go to Figueres in Spain, you won't see a collection of his works as extensive as this anywhere else in the world.

Pinellas Pioneer Settlement: It's never easy trying to imagine how life was in the past. At the Pinellas Pioneer Settlement you don't have to, as it's a living museum where the life of the early pioneers is recreated in an authentic way. Here you can explore a sawmill, a blacksmith's forge and a sugar cane shed where there are live enactments of the associated skills.   

The shopping malls in St Petersburg are works of art in their own right and need serious dedication to be perused successfully as the one thing that's hard to find here are bargains. When you go shopping in St Petersburg you'll be lost in a world of indulgent luxury and glitz – and since when has there been anything wrong with that?

Tyrone Square: Tyrone Square is a two-story mall that is all indoor and air-conditioned so you won't get in a sweat shopping here unless you max out your credit cards. On one level you'll find several department stores, deluxe fashion boutiques, and big-name sportswear stores. Go up a level and you'll find a huge food court and a multi-screen cinema.

Marketplace Shopping Center: The Marketplace Shopping Center is a hundred-thousand-square-foot outdoor mall housing more stores than there are drop-offs on a mailman's delivery list. All the stores are lined up around a central plaza where the parking lot is located. You will find undercover spots where you can get out of the sun between stores if you need to.

Corey Avenue Sunday Market: The Corey Avenue Sunday Market on St Pete Beach is not one you'd want to walk around in beach flip-flops. This market has over eighty stalls offering goods as varied as locally grown produce, handicrafts, beachwear, ready-made food, and eco beauty products. There are food trucks, street entertainers and live music too.

Go to eat out in St Petersburg and you could quite easily begin doubting you're actually still in an American state. In the restaurants in St Petersburg, you'll encounter all types of cuisine that originate from countries as far-flung as Vietnam and Spain plus endless variations of American food as well.  

Ceviche Tapas Bar and Restaurant: immerse yourself in the culture of Spain by having an evening meal at the Ceviche Tapas Bar and Restaurant. Located in the Ponce de Leon Hotel in St Petersburg, this tapas bar offers succulent, but small, plates of typical Spanish food like mushrooms or chicken cooked in sherry, peppers stuffed with chorizo and croquettes all accompanied by live flamenco music and dance, so taking earplugs is highly recommended.

400 Beach Seafood and Tap House: The 400 Beach Seafood and Tap House delivers exactly what the name suggests. A quiet, relaxed dining atmosphere in a waterfront location, with good beer and even better food. Here you can dine on dishes such as shrimp and grits, lamb ribs, cornbread, or a prime strip steak. If you want a lazy start to a Sunday morning you can get a brunch buffet here until three in the afternoon.

The Florribean: The Floribbean is a restaurant that has fused together the foods of America with those of the Caribbean to create something exceptionally tasty. In this hip, colorful, shack-style eatery you can build your own bowls from a selection of super ingredients or go for one of the signature combinations. The food here is as sunny and warm as St Petersburg itself.
