241 Reviews The Hermitage Museum (Winter Palace) is a major highlight of any visit to St Petersburg. We visited as part of our coach tour to Russia and must say we were amazed by the beauty and extravagence of this Palace. The size of the rooms and beauty of the high ceilings, the decoration of the cornices as...
258 Reviews Our visit was included in an afternoon tour of the city including the Peter & Paul Cathedral. Walking towards the cathedral it did not strike me as "anything special", however upon entry the "WOW" factor hit. Such a beautiful place full of history. beautifully restored.

21 Reviews Aurora theater on Nevsky Prospect. It is remodeled in a partial ancient Greek theme with gold mosaics and plaster casts in the lobby. The VIP Hall is a good place to see movies. It features padded swivel and reclining chairs witha side table. Also a full bar and snack bar in the back, so you can...
80 Reviews Frankly, in terms of public transport, I wasn't that impressed. The metros just didn't take me anywhere close to where I wanted to go that I couldn't walk to or close enough to a destination without a gigantic walk at the other end! But that might just be me! The metros run on tokens. Buy your...
28 Reviews Besides the local buses, St Petersburg's public transport also consists of marshrutkas (minibuses). They usually follow a fixed route between the city centre and the suburbs. You can hail one or get off wherever you want. The flat fare is displayed on the windscreen and depends on the route, but...
33 Reviews Hello, guys, I need help from those who have already had the following experience. I was told that there is a souvenir shop in Moscow (called Souvenirny Dvor) where you can buy souvenirs on-line. They have very high delivery costs, roughly 30-50 euro depending on weight and your time zone. But I've...
18 Reviews The most elegant shopping center on Nevsky Prospect is the Passage Shopping Center. Located across from Gostiniy Dvor. Inisde are two stories of upscale stores in an elegant architectural setting. It reminds you of GUM mall in Moscow (Near Red Square) but about 1/2 the size. Nice gifts and clothes...
79 Reviews I don't want to hurt someone's feelings or sth I just wanted to say what I saw. As regards cashiers, this is a disaster. Not all of them, but so many cashiers in Petersburg are rude! I mean, I live in Tallinn and our cashiers don't have this strain when serving the customer. So you need to be ready...
17 Reviews I am sure that some of the posts are well meaning but most are also based on rumors or very outdated info. If I had read only the warnings without knowing better I would never have moved to St Petersburg 8 years ago. Street Crime is very low and seldom involves violence. The remaining risk is...
14 Reviews Please NEVER-EVER-WHATSOEVER drink tap water while in Russia. The main ground is that you don't have a degree on Chemistry and even if you do, I'm sure you don't have your pocket hot lab when on the move in Russia. So please-please-please have fun discovering new chemical elements when you are back...

11 Reviews I suppose this message is more for people whose mother language is Russian but they are not from Russia ( like me :-) ) I just wanted to say that you need to remember that ticket price is lower for local people ( Russian ) and for tourist it is higher. They just hear, whta is your language, if it is...
8 Reviews 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...

35 Reviews There is a place on Bolshoi Konushennoii Street (a side street off of the Nevskii Prospekt, across from the Kazan church) that makes Russian Doughnuts. They only have one item on the menu, and the doughnut is 12 roubles. They have been open since 1958 - and its a great place that most people don't...
7 Reviews The Petrovsky Stadium is home to the local football club FC Zenit St. Petersburg. The stadium was inaugurated in 1924 and has a capacity of 22.300. It is located on a small island and there are only two bridges which lead to the stadium. Both are guarded by safety guards. One of them didn't let me...
