"Inflated Tourist Prices" Top 5 Page for this destination Russia Tourist Trap Tip by darthmilmo

Be prepared before you visit. Most of the tourist attraction charges you up to 10 times more then a local (sometimes more)! I have encounter this before in my travels, but never have I seen such a discrepancy publicly advertised. Russians like to be straight and to the point so they don?t ran around this issue. They will put both prices everywhere.

Unique Suggestions: If you spend hundreds of dollars, euros, etc to get into Russia the least you can do is go see the overpriced museums and attractions. Most of them are worth the money. Just used your judgement and budget accordingly.

Fun Alternatives: Some people try to pass like a local, but most of the workers behind the counter are experts in distinguishing locals and tourists. Trust me; it?s really hard to pass as a local. If the accent doesn?t give you away, your clothes and backpack will.
