You need to get acquainted with St. Petersburg<\/a> during the off-sea<\/a>son. Best in early spring or late fall. During the summer tour<\/a>ist period, everything is created in order to fall in love with this city<\/a> at first sight: beautiful white nights, romantic drawbridge<\/a>s, round-the-clock open summer<\/a> verandas. And you try to plunge into the atmosphere of the city<\/a> with piercing wind and dampness.<\/p>\n

Weather<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"St.<\/a><\/p>\n

Most of November<\/a> is cloudy and rainy. Humidity reaches 90%, and the temperature is kept within -2\u02da to +3\u02da\u0421. Gusty wind from the Gulf of Finland<\/a> can reach up to 6 meters\/s.<\/p>\n

Is it cold in November<\/h2>\n

According to weather<\/a> forecasts, dank weather will last all month. But do not despair and cancel your vacation<\/a> due to bad weather. To prevent bad weather from spoiling your mood and undermining your health, it is recommended to take the following clothes with you:<\/p>\n

What to see<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"St.<\/a><\/p>\n

St. Petersburg<\/a> is an open-air museum. There are many historical monuments in the historical center<\/a>. At the level of an outstretched hand one can see the Palace<\/a> Square, the Winter Palace and the Alexandria Column.<\/p>\n

In addition to the usual route<\/a>s, be sure to visit the following establishments that accurately characterize the local atmosphere:<\/p>\n

Peter and Paul Fortress and its museums. One of the largest museum complexes in the country. On its territory there is a large number of military and historical museums. Entrance to the territory of the fortress is free, but you need to pay extra for visiting the cathedral<\/a> and the museums themselves.<\/p>\n

It is also possible to climb the walls of the fortress and enjoy the “Neva panorama”. At 12.00 a crushing shot from a cannon is heard, especially the children<\/a> are waiting for this climax. Petropavlovka is equipped with a heliport and tour<\/a>ists can rent a helicopter (the duration of a helicopter ride is about 15 minutes).<\/p>\n

Rotunda on Gorokhovaya. An unusual and mystical tenement house was built in the 19th century by the merchant Ustinov. According to legend, satanic rites and gatherings of Masons took place there, as evidence, historians cite the presence of a pentagram in the main hall as an example. Today, with the permission of the reside<\/a>nts of the house, thematic quests and excursion<\/a>s are held in the front door.<\/p>\n

Pyshechnaya is a colorful cafe located<\/a> in the Nevsky district. Price tags written by the staff of the institution, the lack of cashless payment<\/a>s and long queues take tourists<\/a> back to the times of the Soviet Union. Locals recommend buying branded donuts along with condensed milk and sweet coffee with milk.<\/p>\n

\"St.<\/a><\/p>\n

CW cafe. On the embankment of the Moika River, 27, there is a cafe in black and white (furniture, walls, dishes). Entering the premises, visitors feel like heroes of comics or a fantasy world<\/a>. The creators of the BW cafe were inspired by a fast food rest<\/a>aurant from South Korea.<\/p>\n

Republic of cats. The first cat cafe in Europe<\/a> positions itself as an open pet shelter. You can safely play with cats and even stroke them. The cafe holds daily master classes and open tables where anyone can part<\/a>icipate.<\/p>\n

Vacation<\/a> with children<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"St.<\/a><\/p>\n

When going on a trip with the whole family, be sure to mark on the map<\/a> the establishments that will be of interest<\/a> to both adults and children<\/a>. After all, St. Petersburg is famous not only for museums of history<\/a> and painting, but also for crazy entertainment<\/a> for every taste. For instance:<\/p>\n

Grand Model Russia”. Collective images of the regions of our country were placed on 800m of the layout field. Interactive elements, clear details of figures and bright details help to visually explore the geography of Russia. In the museum you feel like Gulliver among the country of Lilliputians.<\/p>\n

Museum of Records and Facts Titicaca. More than 70 exhibits, which were collected around the world. Some were bought from collectors, some were found at auctions, and some were brought by the owners themselves. Here you can touch all the exhibits with your hands, and you can even climb into some. Puzzles, riddles and unexplained facts await schoolchildren and their parents.<\/p>\n

Plane<\/a>t Neptune”. The oceanarium is very popular with residents and guests of the nasty capital. Here you will get acquainted with the underwater kingdom: jellyfish, stingrays, sea<\/a>ls and hundreds of other species of marine life live in huge aquariums on an area<\/a> of \u200b\u200b5,000 m. There is parking, a snack bar, slot machines on the territory.<\/p>\n

Zoo museum. A great option where you can have fun and educationally spend your day in inclement weather. Here you can see real stuffed animals, fish, replicas and other interesting<\/a> animals. Excursions<\/a> (individual and group) and quests are additionally conducted on the territory of the museum. With small children, it is recommended to go up to the second floor so that it is more convenient to see<\/a> the skeleton of a whale. For all biology lovers, this place is a must visit.<\/p>\n

Excursion to the Confectionery Factory. Samoilova (Red October<\/a>). Perhaps the most pleasant excursion for the sweet tooth. Here you can not only learn about the production of sweets, chocolate and other sweets, but also taste all this. At the end of the tour, each visitor is given a small gift<\/a>. Everyone will be delighted.<\/p>\n

Excursions<\/h2>\n

\"St.<\/a><\/p>\n

Most tourists<\/a> come to see the city from above. Therefore, local guides have taken note of this and conduct safe tours<\/a> on the rooftops. Extreme guides not only tell about the history<\/a> of the city and buildings, but also manage to climb some slope higher to make unique<\/a> shots with a beautiful view for their clients.<\/p>\n

Water excursions are especially popular, but from about the middle of the month navigation in some channels is closed (depending on the weather), and by the end of November they are completely closed for the winter period. Therefore, if there is a great desire to ride a river bus and look at the city from the water, then you need to have time.
\nIf you are interested in long trips, then choose<\/a> an excursion to Vyborg with a tour of the ancient fortress or visit Kronstadt.<\/p>\n

The cost of travel<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"St.<\/a><\/p>\n

November is considered to be a very budget month for a trip. For example, a flight from Moscow (and back) for two people will not exceed 5 thousa<\/a>nd rubles.<\/p>\n

The situation is similar with railway tickets. Prices<\/a> from 1.5 to 3 thousa<\/a>nd rubles. per person one way.<\/p>\n

Check train ticket prices online<\/a><\/p>\n

Therefore, it is more profitable<\/a> to buy a package tour, since the cost of both accommodation and the road is already included there (in some hotels<\/a>, a transfer<\/a> to the hotel is even included). For example, a trip to Park Inn by Radisson Pribaltiyskaya<\/a> for 5 days will not exceed 15 thousand rubles (depending on the city of departure).<\/p>\n
