Military secrets, spies and counterspies once flavored the atmosphere of this strategic Russian city. Long closed to Western eyes, it was a naval base during the Russo-Japanese War and today is the main headquarters for the Soviet Pacific Fleet. The city has a beautiful cathedral and fine pre-revolutionary Russian architecture. With its spectacular Golden Horn harbor, hills, beaches and cable cars, it is often compared to San Francisco.
