Weather at the moment
Weather all year round
The humid continental climate of St. Petersburg, with strong thermal contrasts between winter and summer, makes life difficult for the people of Petersburg. Fortunately, summers are relatively hot with an average temperature of between 15 and 25°C, while in winter the average temperature is between -4 and -8°C, with temperatures felt well below, due in particular to a freezing wind. It snows a lot in winter, it rains a lot the rest of the time..

Budget
The monetary unit is the ruble (RUB), subdivided into 100 kopeks. You can change or withdraw euros without any problem. Despite its attractions and success, Piter remains a much more affordable city than Moscow and both the cost of living and the price of the ruble are significantly better for portfolios in euros, Swiss francs or Canadian dollars. Be careful, prices increase during the Nuits blanches.
Health
Don't worry, St. Petersburg is a healthy city. It is advisable to leave with your up-to-date vaccinations (DT-polio, hepatitis A and B), but it is not mandatory to go through customs. For people who will spend several days in the wild, especially when crossing birch forests, it is advisable to be vaccinated against tick-borne encephalitis. Forget about tap water, which is really of poor quality in St. Petersburg. Do as the Russians do, drink sparkling mineral water from the Caucasus mountains or drink tea
