St. Petersburg Travel Guide

Our St Petersburg travel guide! Wow, what a place. Our first Russia adventure and we were captivated by the people, the history, and the food.

St Petersburg is a complicated city but it's worth taking the time to explore and understand everything this place has to tell you.

Thanks to our friends at the Corinthia Hotel St Petersburg for helping us bring our St Petersburg Travel Guide to you.

Loved Saint Petersburg.
It was a dream come true.
Never will forget .Amazing !

Great video I really enjoyed it! As a resident of Saint-Petersburg I just want to add a few things.
1. City is perfectly safe much safer than most European capitals nowadays.
2. The information about possibility to get a car just by paying to a random driver is incorrect. For several years now its illegal in Russia to take passengers without a license so it will be pretty hard to find one. Just use Uber or taxi its very cheap. Your average ride in downtown will cost you from 5 to 10$.
3. Best time to visit Saint-Petersburg is late June that is the time of White Nights and Scarlet Sails festival.
4. You dont need a Russian visa if you come on a cruise ship and can stay for up to 3 days in the city. Most Baltic and Scandinavian cruises have Saint-Petersburg on their route.
Do visit our city it is really wonderful!

I live in Saint-Pete's more than 9 years now, and it's absolutely one of the best places to visit, especially if this is your first time in Russia. People are friendly, English-speakers are abundant (most of the youth speaks English, to some extent), city is safe, and service is generally at pretty high level. Bunch of good places to eat, drink or just chill with a hookah. Lots and lots of city parks and lakes, and don't forget about all the fountains, museums and galleries. Wild parks on the outskirts are a must see too! Thank you for such a comprehensive city guide, I'll definitely recommend to my friends abroad!

I saw this episode back in 2017 and 4 years later watching it again to refresh before heading to St. Petersburg.

Russia looks like a really interesting place to visit, and one that I've never even considered as a legitimate tourist destination until after this video! Great work, as usual - these episodes get better and better. Thanks for once again allowing us to live vicariously through your videos... I personally hope to one day use the information you guys provide in my own travels.

How does this channel only have 57k subscribers!? Every episode is awesome!

I was in St. Petersburg this autumn and it was amazing.
Hot tip though if want to skip visa, if you arrive in a ferry you can stay for 72 hours visa free!

Russians are amazing considering the forward development they've made after the constant attacks it has endured. I shall be there in October 💞 from New Zealand

[BloggerMusicMan]

This is one of my favourite cities on planet Earth. Spectacular architecture spanning centuries, a gorgeous canal system, mixed with military grandeur, religious devotion, and modern commerce. You could spend weeks there are not see everything.

[MrMoccachinoo]

Definitely one of my favorite.

You can feel the cultural richness!

[ms.sunshine]

This really inspired me to travel to Russia 😊

[saintkamikaze]

I absolutely loved that episode. It's great when travel isn't mixed with politics.

[basilb]

Wow guys. I love how much class you have because you guys show so much respect to every city every culture and their people no matter the politics. This is how everyone should treat everyone who is "different". Your videos are amazing in every way. From camera angles to the approach, information and the messages portrayed.

St Petersburg has before now never been very high on my list of place to go but now thanks to Alex and Greg plans will need to change as i MUST go and see it!

[CloneDAnon]

I loved St.Petersburg when i visited it in 2017. It was way more beautiful, safer and cleaner than for example all the big cultural cities in Italy (Rome, Florence and Venice) just for comparison.

PS. Also i might add that the "organized crime" came in after the fall of USSR. Organized crime was prevalent during the 1990's to early 2000's.

Питер-любимый мой город!
Привет питерцам из Сибири, с берега Байкала(Бурятия)!
Много раз бывал в сим прекрасном городе, ну нравится мне он более, чем Москва...

[GettBaladad]

Love your humor, your story telling, the sarcasm, and the research and heart that goes into every episode of Attache! I always look forward to every episode!

[jtcheung]

Wow Attache, your videos are getting better and better. I've been watching you for a year and a half and it's amazing at how fast your team improved/refined your skills. I definitely need to check out St. Petersburg and I never considered it before. Thanks for showing me amazing cities as usual.

[SpencerStanley]

You guys deserve a way bigger following for the content you put out... Every video keeps getting better and better! Attaché is absolutely my favourite travel guide. (other than maybe The Layover)

I came to SPB for the first time last summer. It's already now one of my favorite cities to come back to.
