 TAKE THE PICTURE, DAMMMMMIT!! by morgane1692 ...if you find yourself in Russia in the winter, for the love of all that is good and true, bring wool and flannel everything. Fleece, that's a good idea as well. Fur! My mink earmuffs and flannel-lined jeans, I think they saved my life! Don't forget the heavy wools, hats, socks, boots, and layered gloves and mittens.

 the Mariinsky Theatre's chandelier by liusia If you plan on going to the theatre, opera, ballet, etc. at all while in St. Pete's, you should really bring along a classier outfit. Russians there will be dressed up, even more so if you go to one of the big theatres like the Mariinsky. Nice black pants and a dress shirt/blouse will do, just make sure you stay away from jeans and fanny packs - you'll feel out of place, trust me. Leave a Comment

For a summer trip to St. Petersburg, pack a light jacket (Spring or Autumn-weight) for when the sun goes down or when it rains. Take clothes that you can layer and peel off as it gets warmer. The touristic sights are walkable only in comfortable shoes and dry weather. But bring the umbrella, it will definitely come handy!

by globetrott In 1985 You could have taken any of your old jeans, T-shirts... with you ! Young people in the streets would have offered you high prices, even in $ sometimes, to get these Coooool things ! - But controls when entering Leningrad had been strict, and could you have taken 3 yeans one over the other to get them out ? There was a certain market for western goods,althou it was not allowed to have foreign money - some people did not care at all. Leave a Comment

I was so glad I took a really warm coat and wooly hat. It was March, it was freezing cold. And take some nice warm socks as well. Leave a Comment

Whatever...
I went in mid Summer which got take-your-top-off hot (I did and attracted quite a lot of attention, not I suspect due to my godly physique but rather because it made me look like a tourist!). But also take a good warm coat and an umbarella. Think slightly more predictable and stable Scotland and you have St P weather.
Be prepared to buy bottled water for everything. Also take any medications you particularly like (Neurofen, Benilyn) with you. I'm sure the Russians sell equivalents but they won't be brands you know.
With an adaptor, my hotel room had plenty of power points so no charging problems. I would suggest taking batteries though and film.
Pocket dictionaries went down a storm as presents - the Russian ones aren't very good. Leave a Comment

Plenty of warm layers needed if traveling to St. Petersburg during winter months. It can get very cold. Our trip was February and snow, snow and more snow, beautiful once we were prepared. Thermal undergarments, good thick socks, strong walking shoes, hat, coat, scarf and gloves.
We would generally try to avoid public toilets when away. When necessary we used good hotels and restaurents. Always carry paper tissues. Wipes are great when travelling. Your own supply of plasters, headache tablets etc.,
Good supplies available, but duty free stores are usually where I would buy film, batteries etc.,

 Author with CCCP T-shirt by gussymons Clearly, any self-respecting inostranets will bring his USSR t-shirt with him to Russia. You can even buy a McLenin t-shirt and other Soviet stuff, like those shapkas with the hammer and sickle badges. Leave a Comment

 Museum fashion shoes by sennaya Come as you are to museums, but they may ask you to take off your street jacket and wear some of their protective booties. Feel soooo cool!
