It can be correct though, but only if Петербург is a last name of a person.
Is "Петербург" an animate noun? I heard "Я видел Петербурга"?
In an audio course of Russian language I heard several times "Я видел Петербурга". Does this mean that geographical names are animate nouns?

No, Перербург is not an animate noun, it is a name of a city.
"Я видел Петербурга"? is incorrect. You might have misheard.
