St. Petersburg Flight Guide

The probably youngest city of Russia is St. Petersburg which is only 300 years old. Nevertheless it has blossomed quickly and has become a city of cultural importance with its many museums and majestic palaces. The best time to visit the city is from June to July because visitors can experience the ‘Wise Nights of St. Petersburg’ which describes a time period when the sun never sets.

Art and culture is very popular in St. Petersburg due to the numerous painters, sculptors and musicians that perform on the streets and are a delight for every visitor. It never gets boring in this city, especially for those interested in culture and architecture. But even for those who are just coming for a fun trip- there are lots of shops, parks, leisure centres and a great nightlife waiting for tourists of all ages.

St. Petersburg can get extremely cold in the winter- sensitive visitors should book their trip in the summer. Although there are several airlines that service this route, flights from Australia to St. Petersburg are never direct. Often passengers travel via Moscow and are very likely to stop up to 3 times on the way. This results in flight durations between 27 and 30 hours from Australia’s largest airports.
