Info & Tips

Dear friends,
Welcome to the useful data reference section of my site. It is designed to
simplify the planning of your trip to St. Petersburg, Russia. Our country image
in USA/Europe mass media was so far from objective during last 20 years that
you need to get some facts from the first hand to get rid of the unrealistic
concerns and out of date prejudices.
If you want the shortest possible description of our city from the tourist
point of view here it is:
St. Petersburg is as beautiful and safe as Paris but much cheaper. Locals are
friendly and opened though not everybody speaks English. The first visit will
most probably exceed all your expectations.
Yet St. Petersburg is NOT Paris. Ex-socialist countries differ from the rest of
the Europe. You will meet problems where you do not expect them. You can base
on the perfect information sources but you know - nothing can substitute the
practical experience. So if you want to insure no stress and smooth start of
your trip think about
orientation tour
- it will cover all your questions and put your trip on the secure track.
