Ver guía completaThe center of St. Petersburg is full of connecting courtyards ('prokhodnye dvory'). Entering them is discovering a hidden world of cafes, bars and the real life of the city, far from the grandeur of the facades.
Some small museums recreate the 'kommunalkas', the communal apartments of the Soviet era. It is a fascinating insight into the city's social history.
Going to the ballet or the opera is an important part of cultural life. People dress elegantly for the occasion. A tuxedo is not necessary, but avoid clothing that is too casual.
Even in the dead of winter, it is a sign of respect to remove your glove before shaking hands.
The cold in winter is a serious matter. You will need well-insulated shoes, a hat, gloves and a quality coat. The humid wind makes the thermal sensation much lower.
It is not recommended to drink tap water. Drink bottled water.
In summer, the bridges over the Neva are raised at dawn (approximately from 1:30 to 5:00 a.m.) and leave the islands cut off. Plan your night or you'll be stuck until morning.
As in Moscow, visa registration is mandatory within 7 business days of arrival. The hotel does it for you. Always carry your passport and registration.
