Pickpockets: It's not really that dangerous...
  • Tip Rating:
  • A lot of people ask whether travelling in Russia is dangerous. It's not. A little common sense goes a long way. One thing St. Petersburg does have is a lot of petty crime (larger crime seems to be reserved for those involved in the mafia, such as high-profile businessmen, not foreign tourists). Keep your money and passport in a safe place on your person and keep copies of your passport , visa, and credit card numbers and information in a separate location in case your stuff does get stolen. While credit cards are still not widely accepted in St. Petersburg (except at the fanciest locations), it is fairly easy to change traveller's cheques, so you might want to bring some, although it's always good to have a little cash handy in case.
