Submitting the documents at least 2 months before the departure to Russia, St. Petersburg will be a lot safer than booking at the last moment.
- Do not forget to buy an umbrella and a raincoat and consider dressing in breathable layers as the city's weather is highly unpredictable - at times you can feel four seasons in one day.
- Even in the summer months, make sure you are carrying a light jacket, a compact umbrella and a pair of sunglasses.
- Avoid commuting through metro between 7 to 9 am and 5 to 7 pm.
