Home St. Petersburg guide St. Petersburg seasons Tips to come to St. Petersburg Arrival & Departure Transfer Accommodation Excursions Tours Links for tourists Deutsch version Saint-Petersburg: Travel tips See also : Visa support | VISA Requirement | VISA Types Contact us if you like to travel to St.Petersburg, Russia. Hotel prices and itineraries of many tour programs change depending on the season. Peak season is from May to September. Alternatives are to come in spring (1 April-15 May) or fall (1 September-31 October) when prices are lower and the city less crowded. The summer White Nights in St Petersburg are spectacular but, at the same time, summer may be humid and dusty. An Indian summer in the fall is lovely. If you do not mind the cold and snow, the winter season is cheapest and accommodation most readily available. There are some of the events that annually take place in the city in winter season: "Christmas musical meetings in the Northern Palmyra", "Art Square" winter festival, international jazz festivals, sport tournaments, international cinema festivals and theatre first nights. The first thing a visitor should do is picking up “St.Petersburg: The Official City Guide”, an excellent full-color quarterly freebie, or buy the pocket edition of the Traveler's Yellow Pages. The Friday edition of The St.Petersburg Times and the monthly Pulse are both free and have good listings and reviews. All the hostels can provide everything from invitations and accommodation bookings to theatre tickets, restaurant advice and general help and advice should something go wrong. The City Tourist Information Office at 41, Nevskiy prospect is still near the bottom of a steep learning curve. You should always have identification. It is advisable to carry photocopies of your passport and visa, showing that they have been registered. Frequent random checks by police are taking place, more usually on men. Besides passport and visa are wanted to change money, and to buy train tickets, book hotel rooms and in numerous other situations. In St.Petersburg, as in any large city, you should watch out for pickpockets working in public places, such as on crowded public transport (especially at metro electric trains) or in markets and other touristy spots. Keep money and documents in inner pockets, try not to flash big means, don't leave your baggage unsupervised, have an eye on your handbag (it could be cut up insensibly and you will loose your purse). Stand as far as possible from Gypsies, including the children. Don't give them money and the like. You wan't even notice when all your valuables are disappeared. Walking out late alone in deserted dark areas (courtyards and parks) or after drinking would make you a good target for offenders. Be warned about persons representing themselves as police and wanting to check your pockets, you may find lack of money after a time. Police is allowed to inspect you only at the police station. In case of stopping you in the street dial (on your mobile phone) the special police number arranged for foreigners and explain the situation. You should obtain the officer's name, badge (ID) number, and patrol car number, and note where it happened. Verify your change carefully before leaving the cashier or seller. !!

The one common thread is that the people possess a curiosity, passion, and fervour for life, most visible when it comes to football, the national obsession. Evita, the Tango, gauchos and estancias are the countrys clichéd attractions, but what strikes visitors most is that life here is for living the fast pace only letting up for the afternoon siesta. Referred to as a grimy Paris, Buenos Aires is a sophisticated capital brimming with character and an excellent spot for shopping and watching the world go by whether its pedestrians strolling or motorists driving at break-neck speed. Nightlife is second to none and the restaurants are a food-lovers delight. Argentinas national parks teem with wildlife and incredible mountainous vistas, while the colossal Perito Moreno Glacier and Iguazú Falls are natural wonders. Endless hiking opportunities abound in the south, where Patagonia is stunningly barren and mystifying and the Tierra del Fuego feels like the end of the world. The Andes offer excellent skiing the ski-resort of Bariloche being the countrys most established. Horse riding, adventure sports and birdwatching are just a few of the other activities on offer throughout the country. Argentina, vastly unexplored and undiscovered by most tourists, is an adventure waiting to happen. Attractions Caminito The "street museum" Caminito is one of the first of its kind and one of the most visited sites in Buenos Aires. The permanent exhibition consists of work by national and internationally renowned artists, while at weekends the streets flood with tango music, dancing and handicraft stalls. Boca Stadium The Cancha de Boca stadium is home to one of the most popular of Argentina's football teams, Club Boca Juniors. Teatro Coln The Teatro Coln, dating back to the early 20th century, has played host to some of the world's greatest performers. In addition to regular performances, the impressive building is worth visiting in its own right - visitors can explore the theatre and its backstage areas during the day. Cementerio de la Recoleta Buenos Aires' oldest cemetery stretches for almost six hectares through the most prestigious district of the city. It houses the tombs of many of the leading figures of Argentinian history: leaders of the independence movement, presidents, military leaders, scientists and artists, making it a historical site of great significance. The Obelisk Built in 1936 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the city's creation, Buenos Aires' massive obelisk is situated in the middle of one of the largest roads in the world, the Avenida de 9 Julio, and dominates the city's landscape. San Pedro Telmo Flea Market San Pedro Telmo Flea Market, or San Telmo Flea Market as it is more commonly known, is the definitive Argentinean weekend market where you can browse and peruse to your heart's content. Buenos Aires Film Museum Buenos Aires' Film Museum, the oldest of its type in Latin America, has a fascinating collection documenting Argentina's rich cinematic heritage. Museo de Motivos Argentinos Devoted to traditional Argentine arts and crafts, the Museo de Motivos Argentinos houses national treasures and an extensive photo library.
