Saint Petersburg Off The Beaten Path
 Sort by: Most Recent | Best Rated | Author's Order

Museums: Russian Vodka Museum
  • Tip Rating:
  • I visited this mueum with friends. It is quite interesting and depicts the history of Vodka. Inside, you will also find a typical old russian bar where you can taste some vodka and also buy some souvenirs.
    However please note , that all signs inside where in Russian. I was lucky that it was not a busy time , and one of the employees was kind enough to do me a small translation in English. So please be warned, better ask if the translation is available before going in.

    Habits and Ways: Metro
  • Tip Rating:
  • I used the metro in this city for a couple of times. The architecture inside is very special and worth a look. Mosaics and emblems adjorn the walls inside the subways.
    Unfortunately, I did not manage to take a photo of this since it was always very chaotic.

    Another special feature ,is the depth that the subway is located. The way down is impressive and managed to take a photo of the escalator with my mobile. You can see people reading or even sleeping since it takes around 5min.

    Museums: Avrora
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Avrora (Aurora) is berthed on the Neva river and it is famous for having signalled the start of the 1917 revolution.

    I got a good glimpse of this ship from a ferry trip I took around St Petersburg. I believe one can also go on the decks of the ship itself too.
