✈️ Are you planning a trip to St. Petersburg? In this video I will tell you everything you need to know the tourist. How to look for accommodation in St. Petersburg (I will advise a good hotel in the center and an apartment near the metro), where to eat deliciously and inexpensively, how public transport works, what to see in St. Petersburg for the first time, I will give useful advice to travelers.

🏠 Accommodation in St. Petersburg

1. A good hotel in the center of St. Petersburg near Nevsky Prospect - Onyx 4 * (I took it with breakfast, you can book three meals a day). Prices here - https://yandex.tp.st/nyouhmIZ
2. It is most reliable to rent an apartment in St. Petersburg on Sutochno. I lived near the Moskovskaya metro station in this one - https://sutochno.tp.st/cAH2CFMo

🚇 Transport

Public transport in St. Petersburg - trams, buses, trolleybuses. I recommend taking the subway. You can buy the Podorozhnik card in St. Petersburg at the box office of the metro. Also, a discount in public transport can be obtained when paying for travel with a bank card of the Mir payment system.

🍽️ Food

You can eat tasty and inexpensive on Nevsky Prospect in chain restaurants, cafes and canteens. In the video, I recommend: "Tokyo City", a restaurant of Japanese and European cuisine "Eurasia" (promotion "2 dishes for the price of 1"), "Stolovaya No. 1" (very cheap, but there are queues), a network of chebureks "Brynza". Bakeries are popular in St. Petersburg, my favorite chain is F. Volchek Bakeries. You can buy food at good prices in St. Petersburg in the chain supermarkets Dixy, Magnit, Pyaterochka, Perekrestok (they are even in the city center).

😍 What to see in St. Petersburg

If you are going to St. Petersburg for the first time, try to set aside at least 1 week for this in order to have time to see at least the main attractions.

1. Book excursions on the Tripster website (read the reviews of tourists and the description), there are more than 600 of them in St. Petersburg - https://vk.cc/ceQOAt
2. Guest card of St. Petersburg, conditions - https://vk.cc/cf0jta
3. A boat trip along the rivers and canals at a bargain price - https://vk.cc/cf0jx6

7. I also advise you to look in St. Petersburg: embankments, Vasilyevsky Island, the Park of the 300th Anniversary and the Lakhta Center skyscraper, Krestovsky Island, Summer Garden, Tsarskoe Selo.

🎁 Where to buy souvenirs

Look for unusual gifts on the theme of St. Petersburg in the Bookvoed bookstore chain. For clothes, go to the largest mall in the center - "Gallery". Buy edible souvenirs at the House of Merchants Eliseevs, branded stores of Krupskaya CF and at the Chocolate Museum on Nevsky Prospect.
