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!

Saint-Petersburg is a cultural city based in Russia , so it’s kind of safe there, but over the city you should be aware of people ,named “Russian gopnics” they can bring your staff and bite you somethimes

Generally, the city is very safe. I live on Vasilyevsky island and here it’s not even dangerous to walk at night. Though there are a lot of yards and if you dont’ know where you’re going i’d rather not recommend to go through them.
Posted: April 10, 2026It's pretty safe in general, I can't recall any dangerous cases in the last few years. The people in the city center are pretty friendly and helpful. It can be dangerous on the outskirts of the city at night.

Saint Petersburg is generally safe for women, especially in central areas during the day. At night it’s better to stick to well‑lit streets, use metro or taxi apps, watch your belongings and avoid very drunk crowds.

Hi, I’m Aleksandra! Travel lover and nature enthusiast 🌿 I have a soft spot for India — it was my degree, and I lived there for a year, so I probably have a few stories to tell! I’m easygoing, love sharing food and laughs, and can either do my own thing or enjoy good company, whatever feels right 😊
