Artur is the cab driver that took me from the airport to my hostel in Saint Petersburg (while the hostel totally forgot about my reservation and request to pick me up from the airport!!). He works for a cab company called "Taxi Lux," but he can work for individual customers too. He was really nice a…

Saint Petersburg, Russia is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I have seen Paris, London, Florence, Venice, Madrid, and many others, but they all pale in comparison. St. Pete's has the beauty of the canals like Venice, it has old churches, amazing museums (the Hermitage is as big as th…

Moscow, absolutely amazing is the first thing that comes to mind. You can get everywhere, and I mean everywhere, amazingly cheap via the Underground. The trip started out a little weary, Lufhansa lost my bag, and the tour group I was with (definatly recommended BeatRootBackpackers, about 600 but the…

Many foreigners coming to Moscow aren’t happy at all about the attention they draw from the side of the police that check passports, visas and registrations in the streets and metro stations. Some foreign friends of mine were stopped by the police in the middle of Red Square 15 min after we’ve g…

When we flew from Vilnius, Lithuania to Moscow, we were given this entry card to fill out on the airplane. Well, it was all in Russian! And it was quite challenging for most people to fill it out. Although if you didn't, at the airport, they did have a sample filled out in English, but maybe not in …

In March of 2003 I jumped on a plane to Russia. Let me back up a bit. It's not just that easy, at least it wasn't. First you have to do the paperwork, then some more paperwork and get a invitation. No ploblem if you just have some money to pay an agency. Along with the paperwork you have to mail y…

1. It is a great city to visit, but just don´t have high expectations on how they treat tourists
2. Try to get a map with English and Russian names. You go nuts trying to find places if you dont have it.
3. Try Vodka with cherry, it is typical and very tasty!
4. Get a Bed&Breakfast in the …

I went last June, and the weather was perfect. Russia does get fairly hot and humid in summer, so that could be a plus or a minus, depending on what weather conditions you prefer. Winter is cold, snowy, and windy.
Overall, I would recommend spring or summer for Eastern Europe and Central Asia. …

I was just looking for some info about Moscow as I'll be going there for a few days in May and I stumbled across a very informative website:
http://www.moscow.info/
Packed with lots of useful info from visas to local restaurants etc, it's well worth checking it out.

We have just come back from a mini break in Moscow. Whilst we were there we came across some things that you might need to know :
1) Professional photos in metro stations are not allowed (ie can't use flashes, tripods etc). It is also stated on their Moscow Metro webpage.
2) Tripods were not a…

Getting from Pulkovo-1 (domestic terminal) to the city may be a little awkward presuming the fact there is no direct railway connection.
For those who decide to go by taxi, I recommend to compare prices at different taxi counters right at the exit from the arrival gate. You can be surprised with th…

Whilst being in Moscow for a mini break we decided to visit the Kremlin.
After purchasing our ticket we went to queue up at one of the entrances. When we got to the point where we needed to be checked we were told that we couldn't enter as my husband had a rucksack. We had to walk all the way back…

There are a few things I learned as I surgically airstriked my way into Russia. It helps that the workers there generally speak some English, so no worries if your Russian isn't up to snuff.
First off, the annoying thing I learned once it was too late: Delta airlines does not allow its passengers…

St. Petersburg's metro is some 105 km long (total length varies according to criteria applied) and has 60 stations (average station distance 1770m). Like in Moscow, older stations are elegantly decorated whereas newer stations show a more functional design. The metro works between 6 a.m. and 1 a.m. …
