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.
