Currency Exchange: changing money on the black market
  • Tip Rating:
  • especially at places with plenty of tourists, we sometimes met russian people who wanted to change money on the black market...

    ...But it was a big risk for both sides to be caught by the police.

     @mindtpi: maybe you simply read my pages before you give such rubbish comments. I was talking about a guide in communiste times, who said its nothing to see there, because they never liked to show churches to western tourists !!

     what a load or rubbish - all museums are closed one day a week which is clearly shown on the board outside. It's a major attraction in St Petersburg, it's in _every_ guide book and heaps of the sourvenirs. I'd suggest you find a better guide next time.

     Hi, nice page! Had an exchange with school to S.P. During their visit the town was renamed. So they came from Leningrad and went back to Sankt Peterburg. Take care, Christian.

     I vistied St. Peter for the first time in 2002 and fell in love with the city...They did a good job restoring the architecture ...3 days were not enough to see it all...Great journal! Mary
