 The end of another tour, not
the shopping trip. by mwe
YOU MUST APPLY MONTHS IN ADVANCE FOR A RUSSIAN VISA!
HOWEVER: on the Fred.Olsen cruise ship we were on, the tours could go off the ship on GROUP VISAS. The best 'tour' was the city-centre shopping tour. A coach picked you up from the ship & took you along a few streets, with a guide pointing out buildings, etc..
The coaches then stopped in the city centre & let you off to look round the city for a couple of hours on your own on a group Visa & then picked you up for a drive & some commentary as you went back to the ship. Nice!
...This was the case in 2003. I hope this 'loophole' hasn't been closed.

There are many gipsy people near the museums and parks - pickpocketing is they work. Take your bags and pockets under control. Leave a Comment

 alarm-button on the
Nevsky prospekt by eksvist
The places, where you must to take this warning seriously, are:
the metro stations,
the tricky fountains in Peterhof
and all other crowded places, where peoples are loosing the attention.
Some year ago, there was installed the several alarm-button on the Nevsky prospekt after every 500 meter, for calling the Militsia (russian police), when you are in danger. Leave a Comment
