Russia is a huge country which can be very challenging to visit... visas and booking can be difficult and Nicola had no interest in going back. I was adamant that we should get there when we travelled through Scandanavia and the Baltics. There is a way to visit St. Petersburg, Russia, from Helsinki, Stockholm or Tallinn on a 72 Hour Visa. In this episode, I talk about our quick 72 hour (or less) trip to SPB by ferry from Helsinki. It was a memorable visit that I managed to convince Nicola to do for my birthday in 2019. I hope you find this helpful if you are considering a visit to St. Petersburg. As always, I share some tips and tricks for travelling... and back by popular demand, Nicola and I chat about Christmas travels.
