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!

I think it is safe, but always be on mind, so there are always crazy people. It is more often safe then not. Do not only go in Kupchino when it is dark, other places are safe. Center is always safe. Kiss

we have some areas that are not the safest, I live in the city center, it feels calm and safe even at night, BUT!! In the central part of the city, there may be whole labyrinths of courtyards, like a well of houses, where you can find trouble if you're unlucky, simply because some people can drink there and there are no cameras, so being a traveler, I wouldn't look there at night, at least alone, but in general it's also safe there, there are entrances. in the entrances, but I think many people will find this space uncomfortable and disturbing, but during the day it does not look scary at all. Also about dangerous areas - avoid the Murino area, there are often some kind of riots there. Nevsky Prospekt is the main street of the city, the whole center has a vibrant nightlife as well as many bars. So many ladies, when walking there at night, be vigilant because on Nevsky Prospekt on Friday evening, drunken assholes may think that everyone who is on the street is doing this because they want to get to know them, as it often happens.but I didn't disclose any egregious cases of indecent behavior, just annoying attention from vacationers, which often happens. the last thing I want to warn you about is not to go to random untested spas and massage parlors on Nevsky Prospekt- there are many salons that are actually sex services, so it's better to find a spa or massage site and go to the verified address from the site, do not go to the first massage salon in the city center.
