The main event of July in St. Petersburg was the second Russia-Africa summit. The northern capital has thoroughly prepared for the forum, in particular, by opening the House of Africa North-West on Bolshaya Morskaya Street. This year, in terms of reservations, St. Petersburg significantly overtook not only Moscow, but also Sochi. And also as the only non-resort city, it entered the top ten most popular tourist destinations. In the Vyborgsky district of the Leningrad region, while illegally crossing the Finnish border near the control strip, a foreign citizen was detained, in two bags of which 175 euros, a toothbrush and food were found. According to the consulting center "Petersburg Real Estate", a kind of anti-record was registered this year: the minimum demand for suburban real estate over the past 10 years: in July, cottage settlements put up for sale only 15,000 lots.
