Family travel

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!

The city is actually very safe. I often walk alone at night or run in parks at night as well (often that's the only free time I have ;)). Of course, it's better not to wander around abandoned buildings or industrial areas, as homeless people might be sleeping there, but even the homeless are often friendly...

From my perspective as a city resident, some residential areas don’t feel very safe, especially at night, such as Nevsky, Kupchino, and Moskovskaya. Sadovaya Street and the nearby metro station also feel unsafe, as there are many homeless people and what seem like pickpockets. The Central Market is another place that doesn’t feel very safe. Please be cautious around Ploshchad Vosstaniya, as it tends to be very crowded, which attracts scammers and thieves. You may also encounter fortune tellers...

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.
