Two types of tickets

by LanaFromRiga

Some information about tickets to museums. There are two prices in every museum. For Russian federation citizens and for foreigners. For example, RF citizens will pay 15 RUB ( 0,43EUR) for ticktet to the Hermitage, other people - foreigners 350RUB (10.15EUR). If you know a few phrases in russian: 'Dva bileta, pozaluysta" ("Two tickets please") and your accent not big you'll try to buy cheap ticket. If you have russian friend asked them to buy you tickets. If your russian is too bed If you have to ask your russian friends to help you.

by globetrott

especially at places with plenty of tourists, we sometimes met russian people who wanted to change money on the black market......But it was a big risk for both sides to be caught by the police.
