St. Petersburg Travel Guide 

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!

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!

Very beautiful city.

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 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.

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

So excited for this episode!!! I miss St Petersburg!!!!

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...

Now i want to visit it...oh wait, i'm living here😄

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!

This really inspired me to travel to Russia 😊

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

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

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!

Definitely one of my favorite. You can feel the cultural richness!

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.

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)

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.

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!

That was very accurate.

Another epic video

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.

St.Petersburg is a magical city. Home of White Nights by Dostoyevsky! This is THE place I want to see in Europe before any other. But to be honest your video is more of an advertisement of hotels and restaurants then touching the spirit of St. Petersburg. I used to enjoy your videos a lot. This one was a little bit- how do I put this- shallow-ish?? Sorry guys:(

I love that you use local music in these videos! P.S. Thanks for reminding me of Pinkshinyultrablast.

really enjoy your videos guys - So concise and helpful. Definately opened my eyes to St Petersburg - Especially from a food point of view. Keep them coming guys!

I love this video, again another great work guys

One of the best tours. Thanks for sharing. Great! Cant wait to go back to St. Petersburg

Can I just say how much I appreciate you and your videos? You’re so unbiased, and without judgement, and your videos are based on the actual places and the people without governmental affairs and the media. Seriously, thank you for so much helpful insight ❤️

The best travel guide I've seen, and in Russia. Thanks so much!

Keep them coming... Feel so happy when you upload a video.

Great vid! Thanks for the sweet tour and tips.

Lol, I love when she is teaching him to drink Vodka. Reminds me of the first time I ever drank it at a wedding. My cousins told me the same thing; inhale and exhale or else it will burn, and drink it as quickly as possible. They also always had an 'after-drink', usually orange juice, to get rid of the taste.

Great video & very informative! Thank you guys!

at 5.49 that eagle in the background is exactly the same one my parents brought with them to america. good video. thx for posting

Don't go slowly, otherwise it hurts 🤣😆 Really enjoyed this vlog! Going to Russia in Sept so needing all the tips I can get lol

Great video...excellent quality...Keep up with the great work 👍🏻

Before I visit a city, I always check your videos. It helped me big time. Even if I put aside the informative parts, it's really enjoyable to watch your videos. I mean you always try to represent the entirety of a city itself, which is the best part for any viewer. Keep up the good work, guys.

I've been learning for a long time how wonderful Russia and Russians are. This video is more fabric in that assessment. Thank you for the hard work and excellent presentation. Have a great 2018.

This was a treat to watch :) as a Petersburg local and a tourist guide, I thank you for the wonderful job you did! We need more positive insights to battle through the prejudice.

I love your video, thanks for sharing it. It was fascinating to learn a little more about St. Petersburg!

these videos keep getting better and better. Please keep making more awesome travel videos! You are the best on RU-vid

It's always exciting to see a new episode of Attache, followed by a sigh as I add another amazing city to the list of places I need to visit straight after.

Absolutely lovely video. Cant wait to travel there😍.

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

I love Saint Petersburg 😍 amazing place to visit💕 great video!!!

One of the best travel vids I have ever seen, No BS. It is informative and entertaining Thank you very much

Good job. Very professional review!

Lovely stuff. Thanks a lot for sharing.

What an awesome and interesting place to visit l ! My kids love this. Thanks for sharing my friend . Keep posting please !!

Definitely one great episode! The videography and story-telling has evolved from the very first ones you’ve aired. As an avid follower, I am inspired to visit St. Petersburg - which I have never seen in this kind of light before.

This is a great window on the city. Thank you

Hola amigo, great video budd, I'm going to st Petersburg in June an your video it very informative, great camera work as well. Muchas gracias. LG

Welcome and thanks for the great video! Спасибо!)

Thanks for the upload. St. Petersburg and Moscow have been on my must visit list for some years and it's about time I made it a reality. Your video concentrates a lot on food rather than the city itself but it's interesting and informative.

The buildings and architecture appear very ornate from your video. As well, the "Metro" looks very classy. This video opened my eyes to aspects of St. Petersburg. Your video makes me want to visit this city.

Looks so beautiful! I want to travel to St. Petersburg.

Great video. Herring Under Fur Coat made me smile. I was presented a large slice in 1993 by a Russian host. The "vegetables" referenced in the video were primarily beets. Probably some onions in there too. That far north not many veg choices back then. Needless to say my hosts were as wonderful as the dish was not. Beware and have a giant pile of boiled potatoes nearby to soften the blow. Loved seeing the changes since then!

Another amazing video. Have been watching your videos since the Hong Kong one last year! Your travel guide's have influenced a few of my trips (Amsterdam and Berlin for example). Love what you do; your book is on my Christmas list this year! Hope this comment reaches you!

This is amazing ! Eagerly waiting for your next video :)

You guys have done a great job with this, thanks!

Thank you for a positive view of my home city. Tourists are always welcome here.

Great thank you. What a wonderful place.

Awesome video! Moscow episode could change minds of even more people!

I’m so thankful for this episode. This is exactly how St.Pete is... so pleased to hear such a positive feedback on my city :)

Very good video straight to the point in a native way to enjoy the city (...and what a city!).

Thanks for nice video about my S.Pete:)

A great vid! You are an excellent narrator! Thank you!

Herring under fur coat is one of my most favorite dishes/salads of all time. And subbed.

Amazing travel guide! I lived, studied and worked in St.P. for six years. But it was more than 18 years ago. And this guide was very interesting and informative for me, even for me, who is Russian and lived in that city of my student period of life. And I was very surprised how many things are changed during that period of time. But I found, actually, this short guide is very good introduction to that great city. Of course, you need to spend at least one year in St.P. to see and understand 'the soul of the city'. It is so many absolutely unique places to visit! A huge number! You simply will need a lot of time just to reach them around the city.

Very helpful video! Thanks man.

beautiful city, great to visit in winter times

Great city I was there back in 1943 it looks so different now wow !!

Hey mate, awesome video as always! Thanks for the great content I cant wait for the next one! :D
