St. Petersburg is a city on the Florida gulf coast, part of the Tampa Bay area. It is known for its pleasant climate (hence its nickname "City of the Sun"), which makes the city a popular destination for those who want to play golf, take boat trips, fish and go to the beaches. Its seaside parks are home to the Dalí Museum, with surrealist works of art, the Museum of Fine Arts, with works ranging from the ancient to the contemporary, and the Mahaffey Theater, where the Florida Orchestra performs.
