hi,
I have seen it in April cause i live here.
This is the ugliest season ever. Its still a bit cold and snow is ALMOST gone. Leftovers are really durty and grey. Summer parks are not open yet. No drass no lives on the trees.
April and November are 2 months when i wouldnt advice any1 to come here. And it is not the best place for celebrating your BD. Statistics shows that most of suicides happen during these 2 months.
I would suggest after midmay... its not high season yet, but already nice enoough to enjoy your trip.
Well, if you decide to go anyway, feel free to ask quastions
Hi, many thanks for your reply and advice - that's really helpful.
OK, so the other question I have is for a first-time visitor in Russia would you advise experiencing your cities in the winter (not november) or the summer - which is best?!
I'll check out flights for after mid-may like you suggest
Thanks
Hannah
Summer is the best,
And June 15-30th is the very best
I visited in early May and it was not much of a problem. The only big thing you miss out on is that the Peterhof is not open yet...
No problems with finding a place to stay at that time of year AND you can just show up at a train station after supper and get tickets for the overnight train to Moscow... No reserving days ahead!
The splendor of the Winter Palace will more then make up for the slush!
Bottom line is that the timing is not ideal, but, that is the time you got! Use it!
I travelled to St. Petersburg in April of 2003. I had a great time! I didn't think the weather was bad at all, but then I'm from Alberta, Canada so I might be used to it.
hi!
I have seen St.Petersburg in April cause i live here as well and I would say - April might be the best month of the year in terms of weather & travelling. The air is fresh, it's warm, the streets are clean and a lot of spring bright sun - isn't that great? No crowds of tourists - a huge advantage! And hotel rates are not that high. I'd advise to come for a week after the 20th of April.
Not sure about April. I was is ST-Petersburg 2 times in april and in june. It was some snow in april , and cold. very lovely in june, white nights.. the best time
