The metro is very efficient in St.Petersburg. It's a very beautiful metro with long escalators and impressive architecture. It costs around 50 roubles for a ticket which is around 40p and this is the same for the bus and tram also.

Download Yandex for Taxis as it's so cheap and perfect for after nights out. https://taxi.yandex.com/

Lake Baikal, Vladivostok and Kamchatka are truly magical places and Sochi is a fabulous place for an end of term summer holiday! There are loads of flights and trains per day to Moscow.

"Hi I’m Kit, I am from near Brighton and study Russian and Spanish at Manchester university. In Colombia, I worked at a language immersion school, and helped with various things including social media, running the hostel side of the things. In Russia I was studying in Saint Petersburg state university and had to leave after 6 weeks during covid but learnt a lot about the city in the short time.
