4 travel gadgets that make a big difference, without a big price tag

If you’re travelling for a while, it’s the little things that add up. Minor irritations can grow over time, but it’s worth remembering that small pleasures build up too.

Thankfully, there’s a whole host of small gadgets out there that can improve your quality of life daily. Some of them are commonplace; others are more out of left field, and all of them mentioned here can be yours for under $150.

Ready for anything: portable battery packs

General price range: $25–$150

Part of the appeal of travel is untethering yourself from your phone and spending some time apart from the digital world. That said, for practical matters like maps, restaurant reviews and travel bookings on the go, a charged-up and functioning smartphone is indispensable.

Portable battery packs come in a range of sizes, from the pocket-sized (like the Vantec Power Gem 3500 ) to the very serious units weighing in at around a kilogram (the Luxa2 P-Mega , for example). A key spec to look out for is a charger’s capacity, measured in mAh (or milliampere-hours). A capacity of 3,500 mAh should fully charge your smartphone. Meanwhile, a capacity of 10,000 mAh should fully charge a tablet once, and a phone three times over.

Making memories: using a selfie stick

General price range: $8, through to $100 for a high-end model

There’s real value in documenting not just the things you see on your trip, but in documenting yourself. After all, these are the photos that you’ll probably find yourself returning to. A selfie stick lets you get in the picture without relying on the kindness of strangers to take your photo (and not run away with your phone).

At it’s simplest, it’s not much more than a telescoping rod with a phone cradle at the end, but the cultural impact of the selfie stick is hard to play down. In fact, the gadget was declared one of the best inventions of 2014 by Time.

It’s worth noting that some events and venues (Wimbledon, Coachella, Disney’s theme parks ) have already banned the devices. Others may soon follow, so there’s no time like the present to join in this cultural moment while it’s still happening. While you’re thinking about photography, why not learn a little more about how to take stunning photos with your smartphone?

Boring but important: power adaptors and charging cables

General price range: $9–$90

Taking an international power adaptor is a given. But it’s what you do with it that makes you a real urban survivalist. When you’re buying one, look out for ones that come with multiple USB ports so you can charge a handful of small devices at once. If you’re planning to bring home electronics bought overseas, a travel adaptor that accepts a range of different international plugs (rather than just the Type I plug used in Australia) will let you plug in back home. It’s at the high-end price-wise, but the Lifetrons Power Pro Travel Adaptor illustrates both of these features.

Lightweight library: ebook readers

General price range: RRP starts at $109 for a Kindle

If you’re a bookworm, an ebook reader can cut a lot of weight from your luggage. But that’s not the only benefit of these devices. You can store any PDF document on a Kindle or Kobo , which is a great way to keep important files like flight itineraries secure – on a device with a battery life far beyond that of a smartphone.

Or maybe you want to stay on top of current affairs, but you can’t get ahold of your regular newspaper in print. At the same time, you don’t want the eye-strain of reading on the backlit screen of a phone, laptop or tablet. The solution: you can take whatever you’re reading straight to the soothing electronic paper of an ereader with Amazon’s Send to Kindle browser extension.

These may be affordable as far as gadgets go, but they’re still part of a travel inventory that’s worth protecting. Try looking into travel insurance , so you can take off on your trip with peace of mind.

13 Things To Do In Saint Petersburg | Russia’s Most Beautiful City

By Author Christian L.

Posted on Published: January 17, 2021  - Last updated: September 11, 2021

Categories Europe , Destinations , Russia

Once known as Leningrad and before that Petrograd, Saint Petersburg, Russia, is the country’s second-largest city. Set next to the Neva River, close to the Baltic Sea, this city is home to over 5 million people.

It’s the world’s northernmost city, founded by Peter the Great and named after Saint Peter the apostle. Once home to the Tsars of Russia, it is today known as the country’s cultural capital.

With iconic sights such as Hermitage Museum, Nevsky Prospect, Peterhof Palace, and so much more, it has a fascinating heritage ripe for exploration. Without further ado, let’s dive into the 13 best things to do in St. Petersburg. 

Top Things to do in St. Petersburg, Russia

St. Petersburg, Europe, has grown into one of the top tourist destinations on the continent. Although it might get very cold in winter, there are still plenty of things to do – and the summers are absolutely perfect! Saint Petersburg is one of the prettiest cities in all of Europe .

Keep reading for some of my favorite choices. 

1. Visit The World Famous Hermitage Museum

One of the city’s most popular attractions (with over 3 million items in its esteemed collection), State Hermitage Museum showcases everything from fine art to ancient artifacts. 

Even if you don’t plan on entering inside, the exterior is an architectural gem in itself. The columns are all in white with green/gold facades that can be viewed from the river or Palace Square.

If you’re visiting St. Petersburg, Russia, your trip would not be complete without stopping past this world-famous landmark. It’s also a great activity to do no matter what time of year you are visiting – and a perfect way to escape those cold Russian winter days. 

There are six buildings in the museum complex in total. Five of which – Winter Palace, Small Hermitage, Old Hermitage, New Hermitage, and Hermitage Theatre – can be accessed by the public.

Within, you’ll be treated to Egyptian collections, artifacts dating from ancient Mesopotamia, and classical Greek jewelry, pottery, and sculptures. This is any historical culture lover’s dream. 

Keep exploring, and you will find collections of prehistoric relics from the Palaeolithic era to the Iron Ages, European fine arts, Impressionist works, Catherine the Great’s personal collections, and so much more.

In fact, you’ll need an entire day or possibly longer to explore this incredible museum complex. If you only have limited time in St. Petersburg, be sure to add this museum to your itinerary! There are also guided tours available if you want a more educational experience. 

Did you know? The Hermitage Museum is the world’s second-largest art museum.

2. Take in a Performance at Mariinsky Theatre

The Neoclassical Mariinsky Theatre is home to Russia’s revered opera and ballet companies.

The theatre – named after the wife of Tsar Alexandra II, Empress Maria Alexandrovna – has been here since 1860 when it was known as the Kirov Theatre.

This magnificent building, since it opened, has hosted stage performances and premieres from Tchaikovsky and Mussorgsky and famous ballets such as Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake and The Nutcracker. 

Today, in addition to hosting live performances, the theatre has its own record label, which focuses on releasing music by Russian composers Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, and Rachmaninov.

If you enjoy the arts and are going to be in St. Petersburg for several days, book tickets to see a world-class performance – you won’t be disappointed.

3. See Jewelled Eggs at the Faberge Museum

The House of Faberge was founded in St. Petersburg in 1842 by Gustav Faberge. Originally a jeweler, he became famous for designing jewel-encrusted eggs for the Tsars of Russia and is arguably the most famous goldsmith of the modern era. 

Today, you can view these iconic collection pieces in the Faberge Museum. It showcases 4,000 items in total, including Faberge Easter eggs, jewelry, silverware, home decor, and fantasy-themed objects.

The incredible jeweled eggs are famous all over the world, and there are several museums dedicated to them. But if you want to learn about Gustav Faberge, his family, and how it all began, this is the museum to visit. You can purchase a ticket in person or online. 

4. Spend an Hour Canal Cruising

St. Petersburg is built on 42 islands, and once upon a time (before bridges were constructed), cruising was the only way to navigate the city.

On a Golden Ring boat tour, you’ll see some of St. Petersburg’s iconic sights along the Kryukov Canal, including St. Nicholas Cathedral, Saint Isaac’s Cathedral, and the Mariinsky theatre.

You’ll dip beneath the famous colored bridges on Neva River whilst enjoying views of Peter and Paul Fortress, Vasilyevsky Island, and the Summer Garden. This is truly one of the most breathtaking ways to take in all the beauty that St. Petersburg has to offer. 

This tour also only takes around an hour, so you’ll have plenty of time to revisit your favorite spots throughout the day!

5. Discover Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood

One of St. Petersburg’s architectural masterpieces is the Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood.

This former Russian Orthodox Church was completed in 1907 and is built in Baroque, Neoclassical, and Russian Revival design. It is one of the city’s main attractions, with ornate domes, intricate frescoes, and 7,500 square meters of mosaics inside. 

If you don’t wish to enter, you can gain incredible views from Griboedov Canal. But if you do venture inside, you’ll be rewarded with interior frescoes and mosaic works depicting biblical scenes and figures created by celebrated Russian artists of the time.

The Church of the Saviour of Blood is built on the spot where Emperor Alexander 2 was assassinated in 1881 – hence the name. So, not only will you be able to appreciate the fine architectural designs, but also explore an important part of Russian history. 

6. Take a Rooftop Walk-in St. Petersburg

If you have viewed the city from canals and rivers, try it from the rooftops! You can take a guided rooftop walk in the city, seeing streets and skylines from an elevated perspective.

One particular tour to highlight is the Official Rooftops Excursion of St. Petersburg. Just a few minutes from Nevsky Prospect, these sites offer vistas of Fontanka River and Trinity Cathedral – and that’s just the first roof.

The second roof boasts views of St. Petersburg’s old center, St. Isaac’s Cathedral, Kazan Cathedral, and the Church on Spilled Blood.

This is a truly incredible way to see the city in all its glory, plus the tour provides you with binoculars so you can see everything in great detail.

7. Admire Nevsky Prospect’s Magnificent Architecture

The main street of St. Petersburg is Nevsky Prospect. Begin at the intersection at Stroganov Palace before venturing to Kazan Cathedral. While you walk, take in the monuments dedicated to Catherine the Great and browse goods at The Passage – Nevsky Avenue’s premier department store.

This store was quite the trailblazer. It opened its doors in the late 1840s and was one of the first buildings in Russia to use gas for lighting. Then, in 1900, an electric station was installed on an underground floor.

Once you’ve finished shopping and enjoyed a fresh cup of coffee, continue to the Russian National Library – the oldest public library in Russia – and Alexandrinsky Theatre (which was built for the Imperial troupe of Petersburg).

8. Visit the Island of Peter and Paul Fortress

Set on an island connected by bridges, Peter and Paul Fortress is instantly recognizable from its needle spire, which dominates the skyline. The fortress was originally built to defend the maritime city from Swedish invaders.

However, Peter the Great defeated the opposition before it was even completed! It has since served as a military center and prison for political dissenters and, latterly, as a museum.

Inside the vast complex, you can see Peter and Paul Cathedral, visit the resting place of the Romanovs, and watch military processions or the firing of the noon-day gun.

It’s a great day trip for anyone interested in Russian, maritime or military history. There are also plenty of group walking tours available. 

9. Sample Russian Vodka in a Ryumochnye

A visit to Russia wouldn’t be complete without sampling the local drink – vodka, and the best place to do this is in a Ryumochnye. This is a specific style of 19th-century Russian drinking house that not only offers some of Russia’s best vodka but also a short history lesson.

You could call it a bar, but it’s more than that – most mainstream Ryumochnye have a definite Soviet vibe and are places for working men to kick back and enjoy vodka with their buddies.

Beverages come in bottles or shot form, and some places offer self-service and snacks.

If that sounds too hardcore for your taste, there are updated versions of Ryumochnye in the city, like Mayak in St. Petersburg, where you can gain a similar experience. 

10. Enjoy local Saint Petersburg Craft Beer

Although most people think of vodka when visiting Russia, you can also enjoy some of the best craft beer in Saint Petersburg . Russia’s second-largest city has an exciting, rapidly growing craft beer scene, in part due to its history and geography.

Historically, the Russian empire was influenced by Northern Europe, and the Dutch & English beer-drinking culture eventually made its way here. Today, Saint Petersburg is home to a growing number of modern microbreweries, cool taprooms, and stylish bars.

Saint Petersburg is also home to Stepan Razin Brewery, the oldest brewery in Russia (now, of course, owned by Heiniken). It opened in 1795, but today the building is known as the Saint Petersburg Beer Museum, showcasing the history of beer in Russia and the Soviet Union.

Russia’s largest and most popular brewery, Baltika, is also located in Saint Petersburg, and it’s possible to take a tour of their huge brewery.

11. See the Majestic Catherine Palace

A stately palace of blue and gold, Catherine’s Palace is located 26 kilometers south of St. Petersburg. Named after the wife of Peter the Great, this place was originally a two-story modest building commissioned in 1717.

The exterior, which stretches for one kilometer in circumference, is surrounded by woodlands, lawns, gilded balconies, and reliefs. However, the interiors are even more impressive.

With great halls, a white dining room, an amber room, and more. It’s the perfect place to step back into history and discover what life was like as a Russian aristocracy.

12. Explore Peterhof Palace

If you’re going to visit Catherine Palace, you should tour Peterhof too. It’s a 40-minute drive away, but you can even take a hydrofoil speed boat from right behind the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg center.

Sitting close to the Baltic Sea, Peterhof Palace was constructed by Peter the Great to be Russia’s version of Versailles. The opulent residence surrounded by sculptures, fountains, and tiered staircases leading to the grand entrance evokes mystery and the history of a bygone era.

Inside it is lavishly decorated with dazzling chandeliers, one-of-a-kind artworks and beautiful ceiling frescoes.

On a guided tour, you can learn more about the palace’s history. Discover the Throne Room, Portrait Hall and Peter the Great’s Oak Study. You’ll see dining rooms set for dinner, grand ballrooms where dancing and gatherings would take place, and décor which defies time.

The palace offers great insight into his life and legacy, and if you are interested in history, art and interior design, you’ll love it.

Want to know more about Peterhof?

13. Spend a Day by the Finnish Border at Vyborg

Just over an hour from central Saint Petersburg by train is the city of Vyborg. It sits on the Gulf of Finland and was first settled back in the 12th century. The city has been occupied by Finnish and German forces and suffered extensive damage during the Second World War. However, it has since been rebuilt. 

It’s a charming center to wander around, with narrow cobbled streets, a medieval castle, and Finnish art nouveau structures sprinkled throughout. An easy day trip from St. Petersburg, it can also serve as a stop-off point if you’re crossing into Finland to continue your adventure.

Want to know more about Saint Petersburg?

Where is St. Petersburg | Is St. Petersburg in Europe?

If you want to know “Where is Saint Petersburg?”, you’ve come to the right place. Beautiful St. Petersburg is located in northern Russia. Russia is a massive country, so it is no surprise that many people want to know “Is Saint Petersburg in Europe?”. The answer is yes. 

How to Get to Saint Petersburg

The maritime city is well linked to Europe by air, sea, rail and road. Depending on where you’re traveling from and the rest of your itinerary, you can use one of the following ways to arrive at St. Petersburg.

You can fly into Saint Petersburg through Pulkovo International Airport. There are around 1,100 international flights a week and 1,200 domestic flights operating in and out of the local airport.

Although many flights from European cities to Saint Petersburg are direct, you may have to change flights if flying from further afield.

It’s also possible to travel to St. Petersburg by train. The most popular (and most frequent) routes operate from Moscow, Helsinki, and Tallinn. However, there are options to travel from other areas in central Europe, central Asia, and eastern Europe by rail.

There is a central bus station in Saint Petersburg, with services to and from Moscow, Pskov, Novgorod, Vilnius, Riga , Tallinn and Helsinki. Some of these journeys can be long and arduous.

Therefore, thorough research and choosing the right bus company is important.

Baltic Sea Cruises also operate to St. Petersburg as part of a larger itinerary, and St. Peter Line Ferry sails from Helsinki in Finland and Tallinn in Estonia.

Exploring Saint Petersburg, Russia

Saint Petersburg is the 5th most populous city in Europe and also a leading tourist destination. Although people sometimes forget about Russia, this city is breathtakingly beautiful and provides plenty of cultural and historical attractions.

Now that you know where to go, I hope you have an amazing time in Russia’s most beautiful city.

History of St Petersburg Metro Stations

It actually took quite a while for the St Petersburg Metro stations to be built.

It first started back in 1820 when a man named Torogvanov proposed the plan to Tasar Alexander I — but it was harshly declined. It was only in 1938 when it was finally accepted as an official project; then again… construction was frozen during World War II because of the lack of equipment, funding, and manpower.

Around this time, the stations were used as bomb shelters.

Construction was picked up again in 1946, and then 10 years after the end of the war, the subway with 7 stations was finally opened to the public on November 15, 1955.

The former name of the St Petersburg Metro stations was “ Order of Lenin Leningrad Metro “, named after Vladimir Lenin, a Russian revolutionary.

Exhibiting exquisite Soviet designs and artworks, the train stations easily gained popularity worldwide for their beauty as well as for their unique characteristic of being built deep underground (all but 9 stations) . So… why were they actually built in such a way?

• To contribute to Stalin’s vision of portraying socialist classicism, making the Metro stations act as “Palaces of the People”.
• Saint Petersburg has a lot of underground rivers with multiple islands, so it was imperative that they are built deep.
• Set at a deep level for the purpose of minimizing disruption and noise.
• In response to the Cold War threat, the stations were meant to serve as bomb shelters as well (many of the older platforms actually have air filters, blast doors, and provisions) .

To date, St. Petersburg’s deepest station is Admiralteyskaya which is at 86 meters (282 feet) below ground, and it is said to be the 4th deepest station in the world!

How to use the st. petersburg metro system.

To date, there are 5 lines operating for St Petersburg Metro Stations and they all total to a length of 124km with over 72 stations that are connected by 7 transfer points.

• Line 1 (Kirovsko-Vyborgskaya) : The oldest line of the metro that was opened in 1955.
• Line 2 (Moskovsko-Petrogradskaya): Second oldest that was opened in 1961, and the first in the St Petersburg Metro stations to have a unique horizontal lift platform style.
• Line 3 (Nevsko-Vasileostrovskaya): Its stations have the longest inter-station tunnels in the entire Metro system.
• Line 4 (Pravoberezhnaya): The shortest line in the system in which most of its stations feature a more modern design.
• Line 5 (Frunzensko-Primorskaya): Mainly connects the city’s center to the northwestern and southern neighborhoods.
• Line 6 (Krasnosel’sko-Kalininskaya): Set to open in 2020 with 6 new stations.

Open from approximately 5:45AM to midnight, the St Petersburg Metro is relatively cheap — certainly, a small price to pay for enjoying well-connected transportation AND jaw-dropping architecture!

» Cost & Purchase of Metro Tickets

• Insert a brass token in the slot
• Tap a smart card purchased from a ticket machine at the station
• Tap a MasterCard PayPass or Visa PayWave card on the white circle near the slot

If you carry large baggages, it’s required to pay 1 additional fare.

• Price per fare will become RUB36 instead of RUB45
• There’s an additional RUB60 deposit for the card which can be refunded when you return it
• They can be purchased from metro cash desks or at the automated ticket machines for a set amount of money or a set number of unlimited days of travel (1 to 10 days)

» Top Tips for Navigating St. Petersburg’s Metro

Metro maps  can be found in every train car and always have station names in the Latin alphabet. The station names on the platforms are also in the Latin alphabet, and many other signs are in English. Station announcements on the train are only in Russian, but if you listen carefully you will hear the conductor announce the current station name and the next station as the doors are closing.

• METRO MAPS: There are maps found in every train car; otherwise, using Google Maps works just fine (I used it during my stay in the city and I never got lost!)
• Announcements for the next stations are only in Russian.
• TRANSFERS: Time your itinerary well because transferring trains or stations may involve long walks that can take up to 10 minutes due to the deep underground construction of the stations.
• Stand on the right and walk on the left.
• RUSH HOURS: Usually from 8AM to 10AM in the morning, and 5PM to 7PM in the afternoon. The trains will run almost every 30 seconds and it will get crowded fast; so, it’s best to avoid these times if you want to do some sightseeing at St Petersburg Metro stations. Sunday will usually be a quiet day, or if you can come as early as 6AM in the morning, the better.

10 Top St Petersburg Metro Stations

Most often than not, people regard Russia’s Metro stations as some sort of underground museum — and it’s easy to see why as you go through the photos below!

» BONUS: Other Noteworthy St Petersburg Metro Stations

• Line 1, Red: Prospekt Veteranov, Pushkinskaya, Vladimirskaya
• Line 2, Blue: Tekhnologichesky Institut
• Line 3, Green: Begovaya
• Line 4, Orange: Ligovsky Prospekt
• Line 5, Violet: Komendantsky Prospekt, Krestovsky Ostrov

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Yes, amateur photography (without a tripod, etc) is generally allowed — and naturally, any professional photography is prohibited in all of the stations.

Even if the trains run every 30 seconds or so, you will still need quite some time for transfers, especially because the tunnels of St Petersburg Metro stations can go quite deep. Even so, it is possible to enjoy the 10 metro stations stated in the list above for a whole day; but, if you don’t want to spend so much time underground, you can just take note of these stations and insert some of them in your day-to-day Saint Petersburg itinerary as you please.

I would highly recommend exploring Line 1 (Kirovsko-Vyborgskaya) because they hold the most number of beautifully designed train stations. (Line 5 or Frunzensko-Primorskaya comes as a close second especially because it has Admiralteyskaya, the deepest station in Russia).

In general, Russia is a safe country. Just take note though that since St. Petersburg is a major city with a massive number of people, petty theft can still happen especially when you’re in a tight space such as in a train car — so just stay street smart and use your common sense at all times and you’ll definitely be fine. Rest assured, there are security staff in every train station, so if you ever need assistance, they are pretty easy to spot.
