#SaintPetersburg #Travel #WhiteNights
Without a doubt StPB is the most amazing city to visit. In my travels I have had to visit most Euro cities.... they do not have the edge on StPB. Probably the cleanest and safest city on the planet. Not to mention the food and quality of everything they offer. Moscow comes a close second.

@Stingy Jew , I suggest you go to the outskirts of Paris. After that, the outskirts of St. Petersburg seem Paradise
Commie.
I live in Saint-Petersburg and I should say I love it
Lucky!
@@faridjabba Just outside of it has forests but it also has more of city space in lush parks than any city I have seen. The only "mountains" are hills south of the city; Pulkovo Heights which used to have ski resorts but winters have become shorter and warmer so they all went out of business.
You are so lucky! I really envy you ～
faridjabba u don’t know how use google ?)))
am from saint petersburg :)
It truly is the most beautiful city. I can’t wait to go back.
Nice.Hello from Russia and well come!
How do they welcome Americans? I’ve heard different stories
@@Davie272 um americans are hated everywhere except for England and Russia is no exemption.
Visited St.Petersburg last autumn. It was truly beautiful. The architecture, the people were very kind and friendly, the metro. Just an amazing city.
You missed the metro stations! - free art museums!

Having seen most of the great cities across North and South America, Europe, including Russia, as well Beijing and Vladivostok, I was mostly impressed by Saint Petersburg. The city was made for tourists. Plus great open spaces, which cause a lot of walking to get around. With end results: slim, elegant, beautiful women all over the city. Most likely Peter the Great envisioned the extra benefits of the miracle he has founded.
PAUL's DANCING question, is it a place for Russian culture or is it more for tourist if someone wanted a Russian experiences should he go to Moscow?
@@GustavoRodriguez-qr5po Saint Petersburg is for both - culture and tourism. Google: 'Hermitage', for arts. And find Sergey's Beel...website. Sergey will tell you all about Saint Petersburg. Moscow is great. Especially for the types that want to show off: I was there! But Moscow is very expensive for an ordinary person. I saw the world because I was an international management construction specialist and lived on expense accounts. Good luck.
@@GustavoRodriguez-qr5po The culture came first and attracted tourists. When the tourists go away in late September the real Russian experience begins for those who arrive later. It was not built for attracting visitors, not a Disneyland but a working city that focused on its unique culture as part of daily life. The culture and performances are for locals, but in the summer many, 10,000,000 visitors arrive so the destinations and activities promoted by guidebooks are extremely crowded, but there are so many equality interesting destinations ignored by the guidebooks that it is still easy to find far more to do that is not crowded than other cities
New visa rules from October 1 2019 allows all of the EU plus 30 other country's citizens fee electronic on-line viss except the UK. The UK gives Russians such as a hard time getting a visa that Russia does not want them to have a free visa. So a total of 97 countries now get either visa-free entry or the new electronic visa.
Plus a million a year arrive by ferry or cruise ship and can get visa-free entry from any country if they book a shore excursion with a Russian tour operator.
Moscow is about the same Russian experience as combining Washington DC and NY City being an American experience. Not really related but Moscow is much nicer, friendlier and beautiful, and a lot safer.
For a real Russian experience go stay in a village or dacha, or go to one of the other lesser-known regional capitals like Kazan or Volgagrad which are also beautiful, relaxed and welcoming. The real Russian experience is meeting strangers and being welcomed as an old friend, sitting at the kitchen table or in a pub and talking for hours about everything. Going to a forest banya (Russian hot/steam sauna many Russians have on their Dachas in the woods). Only then can someone begin to understand the Russian experience.
Agree with you!
Saint Petersburg is my favorite place in the world!
Nice.Well come!
валерий попов hey bro you live in Russia 🇷🇺 love from India 🇮🇳❤️
Still better than paris
@@kawaiixd1254 I have never been to Paris but based off of what I have seen it seems like its really overrated, I would still visit though.
Just came back from Russia, visiting Moscow, Vladimir, Suzdal, and St Petersburg. Yes, St Petersburg is really beautiful!
We just have to get ri of all soviet shit and then Russia will once again be beautiful.
I travel the world and must agree: St Petersburg is one of the most stunning city that I have ever been to! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cant wait to go back!
Cheers from Brazil!

It's also an occultist shthole.. don't be deceived
"Saint Petersburg 'May Be' the Most Beautiful City in the World"? - This *is* the most beautiful city in the world; as a matter of fact, Saint Petersburg isn't a city but a *dream!*
I can’t agree less !!!
I love this city and I would visit
Putin comes from St Petersburg. Who would go on vacation to Russia. Maybe the MAGAs will be welcome?
I visited St. Petersburg for the first time February last year and then went back during the World Cup!! Not for the city but for summer of the city. It's truly one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen.
Anyone here could recommend a time to visit during the fall season? I am just not sure when the leaves would turn gold in Russia.
Oktober or november
I think, summer is the best season for visiting Saint-Petersburg. I wouldn't recommend other seasons to you, bc of bad weather. Saint Petersburg with bad weather becomes one of the most stressful cities in the world.
If you want to see the real Golden Autumn in Saint-Petersburg then middle of October will be your best choice. It is really beautiful there that time and if you liked Saint-Petersburg in Summer and Winter you will definitely like it in Autumn.
early October
October
The most stunning thing in Saint Petersburg in late June is the plethora of amazingly beautiful women you encounter walking Nevsky Prospect at night. I have never seen a city with such a high percentage of women who could be models.
Cal Ripson Yeah, and we have beautiful men to complement them, no need for foreigners :)
Agree, some of the most gorgeous women are Russians , PLUS they work hard. Not lazy!
Kate Malheiro The thing is, a lot of foreigners think all Russian women are like that and end up marrying lazy bitches who don’t want anything from them except money, they don’t do shit around the house either. I have personally witnessed such situations.
@@glebsokolov9959 LOL. I've seen both, for sure. They're human too.
cam jay They are, just lazy as hell
Ive been there in the summer, it definitely lives up to its name. One of the best cities on the planet ever.
Been there 4 years ago during white nights. It is really a beauty of it's own kind.
Thought about cities with that density of history and beauty... only thing that I could compare to that is Rome.
I understand why Russians are proud of St. Petersburg, especially when you visit some of the museums.
vpf1 Yeah, white nights are crazy.
I'm Russian and I've never been in saint Petersburg... Actually I've only been to Moscow 8 times (only in the domodedovo airport to travel by plane to UK lol)
Feels bad man.
We are not proud of St. Petersburg? we just LOVE it!

должен, должен посетить! это действительно красивейший город на Земле, я объездила всю Европу, Северную америку, была в Азии. Красивее Питера города нет.. многие восхищаются Парижем и Римом, а Питер это оба эти города в одном флаконе - архитектура итальянская, а атмосфера парижская

Many people claim that if Constantinople survived as a Roman city it would become like Florence. I disagree. I think a city like St. Petersburg looks closer to what Constantinople would have been. An orthodox rich city combining majestic mega-structures and monuments, with splendid Orthodox Churches, toppled with some central European aesthetics and various types of quarters signifying the cosmopolitan character and social class variances.
Just like St. Petersburg.
Saint Petersburg..Prague... Istanbul...Rome...Paris...Venice are for me the most beautiful cities in the world.
Saint Petersburg looks awesome and beautiful and peaceful
on the 0:53 - it isn't in Saint-P. It's the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow))) And on on 1:34 again!
And again on 5:19.
There are the same of them in Saint-P too
It looks same but they are two different cathedrals. The one in St. Petersburg is called Savior on Blood
Well this is American channel so they lie from time to time.
You’re right!
I'm Egyptian guy and my dream after finishing my university traveling to Russia marrying from there and enjoy my life in Russia❤️❤️
One day I’ll be there ♥️ what an amazing city in the world. I watched lot of videos it’s robbed my heart ♥️ in that beauty of city.
Love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
The most beautiful and extraordinary city I have seen so far. You could add also Petergof and metro stations.
Dünyanın en güvenli en güzel şehri defalarca gittim doyamadımm👏👏👏🙏🤗🤗love ST. Petersburg 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

But you do not look like an ethnic Russian, Slavic.
@@calicojack766 what he is look like
Calico Jack Russia is ethnically diverse country actually. Russians are just 70% of total population. And it has more than 120 ethnic groups
@@markusladen1391 In fact it is 80%, and almost all ethnic Russians live in the European part of the country, which is the original part of the country. The non-Slav peoples who inhabit Russian territory live in the Asian part of the country, so it is understandable that someone thinks it is strange for an Asian to say that it is from the European part of the country. But he lives in a big city so it is more normal, in the countryside the population is 100% Slav, Russia is a multicultural country, but at the same time do not mix ethnicities and cultures, each has its place.
me too)
Have travelled to so many nations (born and raised in USA)--Russia is definitely my favorite place to visit. Top 2 cities I have ever visited are Piter and Moscow. I know the competition between Piter and Moscow---but get over it--these two cities are at the top two slots in the world. Just be proud to be Russian---both cities are way better than any other city I have visited. But, if a gun were taken to my head, I would pick Piter--like the more Russian Empire feel to it than the more USSR Moscow feel.
It s the most charming city in the world
К сожалению он окружен ленинградом
So stunning. I‘m curious now
Love it
See you soon
Rome and Saint Petersburg are the most beautiful cities in Europe and probably in the world.
Don't forget Prague, cheers mate.
Rome has great history and weather, but it is all grey, crime-filled(pickpocket capital of the world) and dirty and overrun with cheap group tours. 50 years ago it was much nicer when I first it first. Paris was really nice back then but now gets 50,000,000 visitors a year and that ruins any homegrown culture. Rome and Venice are both hardly livable anymore.
What about Vienna?
Bambein Rome use to be, once upon a time, but now people go to visit the ruins of what was. It’s a shame really, what I would give to visit Rome at its peak, I doubt any city could come close to that beauty.
I come from a tropical country, St. Petersburg really looks like a winter wonderland 😍
Thank God they mentioned this
I definitely agree Saint-Petersburg is the most beautiful city in the world. However, in this video they mixed pictures of St Petersburg and Moscow...
The most beautiful city I have ever seen.
I went there this summer, it was so fkn gorgeous!
Venice of the North
Nice.Hello from Russia
@@user-lm2gy8dp1q Hello from USA.
No no no, the St Petersburg of the North
@MrCaptainStfu Isn't St. Petersburg still in Europe?
@MrCaptainStfu Well, I'm always eager to learn, but I've always considered it a European city. In fact, even Moscow is usually considered European. Can you provide a reference?
Iwant to visit St Petesburg so bad 😫
Great city hope one day I could Love from Mexico my Russian fellows
makes me proud to have this city as my homecity.... :')))
best travel destination in Russia, a beautiful, magnificent master pieces from Peters Great, the name sounds it located in Swede or German, but it's Russia most European style city, so rich of culture and mirror of 300 years of imperial Russia history. I will go there again.
It definitely is the most beautiful. I was stunned when I first visited in 2018 summer, for the WORLD CUP
Я не понимаю по английски, но мой город С.-Петербург действительно самый красивый город в Мире!
когда я думаю о Питере, я немедленно думаю:
Город Зенита 💙
great looking.
It’s the most beautiful city in the world ! PERIOD!!!
I love Saint Petersburg I want to go back 😥
St.Petersburg is definitely on my bicket list of cities to visit.
A beautiful city displaying art, design and architecture over many periods. Thank YOU MUCH for your video.
Clear explanation Amazing photography mesimericing location

PS Seems there were a couple of pics not related to Saint P. Am I wrong?
WOW! I'm coming!!!!!
would be very happy to see that smile )))
My jaw is still on the floor. Simply breathtaking O.O
It has great buildings and we are going for 2 days on a cruise in early September, but it is very spread out, not a walking city.
Hi may I know if what is the temperature range for June? I just couldn’t find a concrete answer. Will you advise to bring some winter clothes? Because I saw some videos that June is already summer and yet they are wearing winter clothes 😀. Hope I could find some answers here. TIA
It's usually very warm in SPb in June. Yet I would advise you to bring a sweater or two, the weather can be unpredictable sometimes. Also, it's pretty windy near the canals and since they're one of the biggest attractions, you just have to bring something to keep you warm. But don't go too far, a winter coat is definitely not needed. Good luck with your trip!
Also, don't forget to visit Пышечная on Konyuschennaya Str. Best soviet donuts in town!
When I was a kid in primary St Petersburg school, I always preferred to stay at home when we had a class trip to some cathedrals and fortresses, I was bored to death. Now I understand that I might have been one of the luckiest students at that time
MUST. VISIT. ST. PETERSBURG!!!!
Awesome video explaining such a glorious city. Which season is the best time to go? I'm sure it's great to visit all-year round, but I'm curious!!!
Summer
End of May, beginning of June, as for me
End of May, beginning of June, as for me too :)
June :)

When? It depends what you want from the visit. It is warm weather, higher hotel prices, dachas and very crowded streets and museums than summer is best. If you want more culture, ballet, opera, concerts, and dressing nicer, easy access to museums and lower prices surely it is autumn or winter. If it is for parties, end of Dec to January 10th or later when the whole country is a wild 10-day party. If you want changeable weather and wet feet, Spring. Every season is good but better for some goals. Winter can be a magical stunningly beautiful time of year. St Petersburg at night with light snow falling against millions of accent lights on beautiful buildings than winter is the time to come. Winters are a lot milder than the reputation. For 12-15 years we have had mild winters and not even much snow. We only had 3 snowfalls all year last year and one of them was April 1st. I never got out my winter coat last year and only a few times wore gloves. The historic weather before about 2009 was for much longer winters and colder temperatures. The favorite winter activities outdoors have faded, such as ice fishing, outdoor hockey, ice skating or cross country skiing. Chicago has much more cold weather than St Petersburg. It USED to be cold and long winters but now any more. My first visit was i 1976 and visited many times but finally moved here from California in early 2000.
I'll be there for studying this October, any recommendation where to study Russian language course the cheapest ones?
The French say the fastest way to learn a language is Pillow Talk, meet a beautiful girl and learn from her. You will be motivated.
I'm in love 😍☦️🇷🇺

People are never our enemy. And don't even usually want to war against each other. We have government and unholy alliance which breeds riots and wars. This is a beautiful place.
when would you suggest i should visit winter or summer? when it is more beautiful?
I would love to visit Russia and in particular Saint - Petersburg , Stunning City 👍👍👍
I truly miss being in St Petersburg went there on holiday 2 years ago and no city not Rome, Jerusalem or Cairo compare
Rome is Rome... But also Saint Petersburg is great! Also Jerusalem is really good!
i'm russian i went to saint petersburg/moscow over the summer.....i shouldn't of cried this much.
What are covid restrictions in st Petersburg now? Thank you for answer
I was in St. Petersburg in December 2022. Stunningly beautiful. I'm from Chicago.
My 2020 resolution is to Master russian because I've always loved the culture and my family heritage behind it. I am saving my money to be able to visit there during summers and such, maybe one day I could immigrate over there. Is there any tips on helping advancing my russian or possibly helping me learn?
There is one method, that I use everytime, when I start learning a new language - pop music. I can guarantee you, that it WORKS! Not only you will find some new BOPS for your playlist, you will also master your language in weeks!
So, I would advise you to check out:
- t.A.T.u., a russian fake lesbo duo, known for their hit "All The Things She Said", their first Russian album "200 Po Vstrechnoy" is especially great and reflective of the climate and society of Russia at the time.
-Luna, a Ukrainian singer, who sings in Russian and is considered to be the face of the Russian pop-revolution. All of her music is great. It's a mix of retro and soviet aestethics with jazz, trance and techno influences. Check out her albums "Остров Свободы" and "Транс".
-Zemfira, the legend of Russian post-soviet music. No words are needed, she is the voice of the generation. Her magnum opus is her sophomore "Прости меня, моя любовь".
Don't forget to check out some of Russian classic movies here on YT with subs. My fav is definitely "Москва слезам не верит", though you man not grasp all of the brilliance at first(the movie is very hard to digest without proper knowledge of the intricate details of the "simple soviet life"), the dialogues are great and will be especially helpful to help with your speaking lingvo.
Good luck!
Is january a good month to visit the city? I'm thinking about to go there this month
Action Jackson - yes it’ll be less crowded and winter is the best time to visit in my opinion. It’s quite humid and stuffy in the summer...it can be a true wonderland in winter!
Some day I gotta visit.
3:23 is actually a Russian railway photo. those cups say RZD on the side
I have been there 😊 it's really amazing City , i ❤️ to visit again and again
it's so sad no one can
Beautiful and informative video! Thank you!!
I totally agree, visited over 20 years ago tho.
just wanna settle here :) BTW, im in St.Petersburg and its my second trip. Probably i will come back if i get the chance again.
A nice conclusion. I have just visited there. You helped me review the sites I had been to. Thank you!
It looks like a painting 😍
at 1:28 picture of Ronaldo and in the back Sir Alex ferguson. is that even real or edit? :p
0:54 that's Moscow...
you are right! Christ the Saviour Cathedral in Moscow. But they also used lots of photos of places nearby St. Pete (Peterhof, Lomonosov which are just outside of city)
@@alexanderfursov2179 yes it showed also that cathedral more times. True what you said, I lived there a month, but this nearby places are almost in St. Petersburg
Definitely the most beautiful!!! Visited in 2014, it's such a fairy tale it is impossible to put in words.And cheap!
Hay quá
Sph’s metro is a museum toi
Metro in Moscow is more beautiful.
@@CCC-rd3gc Moscow and St. Petersbrug metros are both beautiful
@@DimaShirshkov1 объективно, московское круче, хотя я и живу в Питере
I am a big fan of St Petersburg but although I love the metro and use it every day, it is beautiful on the #1 Red Line but does not compare the Moscow city center stations. The only problem with the Moscow metro is the sheer mass of people using it that you will run over by the crowds if you stop and admire the stations. Except for rush hour, St Petersburg metros at not crowded so you can usually find a seat. The stations are being added to every year or so but in Moscow, stations open every week. They are both artistic and engineering marvels. The SPb metros are deeper, down 330 feet for some stations. They all have free wi-fi and mobile phone cells own on the platforms than through the tunnels 3 football fields deep.
So beautiful, didn't know that Russian city's was that beautiful .
Красивая Россия 👍
Agree with your list! Well described and nicely made video
What is the name of the building that appears on 0:56? Thanks
The Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow
Europe's best city, St. Petersburg is truly beautiful.
