I stayed at Kino Hostel. We took the separate room for 2p. I felt safe. From the centre it’s more dirty but overall I loved it. The museums are must have to go to! But you need hours to see all of the paintings! Prepare comfortable shoes!

Since 2021 I haven’t feel much anxiety about my safety. But I care a lot about myself and I’m not living active night live. Sometimes I see strange persons but they aren’t dangerous. We haven’t a lot of thieves

Honestly, St. Petersburg is generally a very safe city! We have a lot of tourists and out-of-towners, but the streets are still safe. Our city is considered the cultural capital of Russia. However, it's always worth being cautious. At night, it's best to avoid side streets or bar streets, as we have a very active bar and alcohol scene at night. I've lived here for three years, and in that time, I've never been attacked or robbed. Occasionally, drunk people have tried to talk to me, but I avoid such encounters. Most often, they ask for directions, the name of a street, or the time, but...
Posted: January 16, 2026It's really safe and you can walk at night in the streets without problems,you can do any activities you want, people will help you if you ask them out in the streets they'll do efforts to understand you ,most of them are helpful and kind.

Some drunk men can try talk to you especially if you are in the center of the city, but I personally and many girls that I know have never experienced any violence of harassment from men or women here.

it’s very safe city, but of course you need to be careful as in any travelling. Russian people are friendly and can help in any situation, but we have some immigrants who are untrustworthy. There's no need to worry, but it's best to warn your loved ones. Common safety precautions.

Hello ladies, I'm glad to be a part of this community! I'm also a student and I'll be doing it for another year, I'm studying at the Faculty of Architecture in St. Petersburg, and I really like to travel, just like all of us here) My English is not very good, but in general I think you will understand me if I talk to you live, here I will use a translator. There are many cool places in St. Petersburg that are worth visiting, it is a very creative and versatile city, I have a couple of recommendations for you if you want.In general, I am open to communication and mutual assistance~
