    Well, maybe it is not a real nightlife tip, in the literal sense of the word, but anyway I enjoyed the views at night, especially after this big rain shower and with the play of the sunset light. In the rear you can see the golden peak of the Admiralty building. I just love that reflection on the wet road surface.

    Other Attractions: Watching opening of the bridges

  • During the summer months when the Neva river isn't frozen, the bridges across the river open at night to allow ships to pass up and down. Bridges open from May to late October according to a special schedule. Make sure you check the schedules and don't get caught on the wrong side of the river after 2 a.m., or you will be stranded on the wrong side of the river until the drawbridges are lowered between approximately 4:30 a.m. and 5 a.m. One night, about 2 am we went to see how the bridge opens. Unfortunatelly, we were too late because this particular night it opened earlier because of the renewing. But... the tradition is that during bridge opening you should open the bottle of champagne and drink it at the bank. So we did it watching at the opened bridge and ships passing by.

  • St. Petersburg Circus - Saint Petersburg
    St. Petersburg Circus
    by Canadienne

    When I visited Spain several years ago, I wanted to see a bullfight. Between Hemingway's romanticism and the gorgeous art of the posters, I was able to put out of my mind the violence involved. . .until it actually came to buying a ticket and I backed out. Much the same thing happened with the St. Petersburg circus ~ I thought I wanted to go (it is the country's oldest, with renowned acrobatic acts). . .but chickened out at the last minute, due to the probability of seeing (and supporting through my purchase) cruel treatment of animals. But, if you aren't bothered by such thoughts. . .they have evening performances and matinees on the weekend (note that the circus closes for six weeks during the summer).

    The Rimsky-Korsakov String Quartet performs regularly around Saint Petersburg and also tour Europe and just recently the US. They perform Russian music as well as other composers. They are especially known for "The Fridays" music from the get togethers Rimsky-Korsakov had on Friday at his place for composers and musicians to get together and try out their new works together.

    Dressy to casual, tourists set the lower end of the dress code.

  • The trip takes about 5h. The bus is going around St.Peter. You can see a lot of interesting buildings and of course opening of the Neva bridges. The price for such a trip is app. 10-15 USD for person and it is worth it !

    One of the best places to hear live Jazz. open 1900-2300, admission 100-300 rubles. It has about 15 small tables and some stools along the bar. If you want to sit at a table you need to call and make a reservation, about 400 rubles for table. You can come early and claim a barstool, 150-250 rubles cover charge. Or come around 8 when the music starts and stand all night :)

    Casual, come as you want. schedule http://www.jfc.sp.ru/afisha.html
