I live in Saint-Pete's more than 9 years now, and it's absolutely one of the best places to visit, especially if this is your first time in Russia. People are friendly, English-speakers are abundant (most of the youth speaks English, to some extent), city is safe, and service is generally at pretty high level. Bunch of good places to eat, drink or just chill with a hookah. Lots and lots of city parks and lakes, and don't forget about all the fountains, museums and galleries. Wild parks on the outskirts are a must see too! Thank you for such a comprehensive city guide, I'll definitely recommend to my friends abroad!

Loved Saint Petersburg. It was a dream come true. Never will forget .Amazing !

Great video I really enjoyed it! As a resident of Saint-Petersburg I just want to add a few things. 1. City is perfectly safe much safer than most European capitals nowadays. 2. The information about possibility to get a car just by paying to a random driver is incorrect. For several years now its illegal in Russia to take passengers without a license so it will be pretty hard to find one. Just use Uber or taxi its very cheap. Your average ride in downtown will cost you from 5 to 10$. 3. Best time to visit Saint-Petersburg is late June that is the time of White Nights and Scarlet Sails festival. 4. You dont need a Russian visa if you come on a cruise ship and can stay for up to 3 days in the city. Most Baltic and Scandinavian cruises have Saint-Petersburg on their route. Do visit our city it is really wonderful!

Very beautiful city.

I saw this episode back in 2017 and 4 years later watching it again to refresh before heading to St. Petersburg.

Russia looks like a really interesting place to visit, and one that I've never even considered as a legitimate tourist destination until after this video! Great work, as usual - these episodes get better and better. Thanks for once again allowing us to live vicariously through your videos... I personally hope to one day use the information you guys provide in my own travels.

Russians are amazing considering the forward development they've made after the constant attacks it has endured. I shall be there in October 💞 from New Zealand

How does this channel only have 57k subscribers!? Every episode is awesome!

Питер-любимый мой город! Привет питерцам из Сибири ,с берега Байкала(Бурятия)! Много раз бывал в сим прекрасном городе ,ну нравится мне он более,чем Москва...

I loved St.Petersburg when i visited it in 2017. It was way more beautiful, safer and cleaner than for example all the big cultural cities in Italy (Rome, Florence and Venice) just for comparison. PS. Also i might add that the "organized crime" came in after the fall of USSR. Organized crime was prevalent during the 1990's to early 2000's.

I absolutely loved that episode. It's great when travel isn't mixed with politics.

Now i want to visit it...oh wait, i'm living here😄

I was in St. Petersburg this autumn and it was amazing. Hot tip though if want to skip visa, if you arrive in a ferry you can stay for 72 hours visa free!

This is one of my favourite cities on planet Earth. Spectacular architecture spanning centuries, a gorgeous canal system, mixed with military grandeur, religious devotion, and modern commerce. You could spend weeks there are not see everything.

So excited for this episode!!! I miss St Petersburg!!!!

Definitely one of my favorite. You can feel the cultural richness!

Wow guys. I love how much class you have because you guys show so much respect to every city every culture and their people no matter the politics. This is how everyone should treat everyone who is "different". Your videos are amazing in every way. From camera angles to the approach, information and the messages portrayed.

This really inspired me to travel to Russia 😊

St Petersburg has before now never been very high on my list of place to go but now thanks to Alex and Greg plans will need to change as i MUST go and see it!

You guys deserve a way bigger following for the content you put out... Every video keeps getting better and better! Attaché is absolutely my favourite travel guide. (other than maybe The Layover)

Love your humor, your story telling, the sarcasm, and the research and heart that goes into every episode of Attache! I always look forward to every episode!

St.Petersburg is a magical city. Home of White Nights by Dostoyevsky! This is THE place I want to see in Europe before any other. But to be honest your video is more of an advertisement of hotels and restaurants then touching the spirit of St. Petersburg. I used to enjoy your videos a lot. This one was a little bit- how do I put this- shallow-ish?? Sorry guys:(

Wow Attache, your videos are getting better and better. I've been watching you for a year and a half and it's amazing at how fast your team improved/refined your skills. I definitely need to check out St. Petersburg and I never considered it before. Thanks for showing me amazing cities as usual.

Lol, I love when she is teaching him to drink Vodka. Reminds me of the first time I ever drank it at a wedding. My cousins told me the same thing; inhale and exhale or else it will burn, and drink it as quickly as possible. They also always had an 'after-drink', usually orange juice, to get rid of the taste.

I came to SPB for the first time last summer. It's already now one of my favorite cities to come back to.

That was very accurate.

I love that you use local music in these videos! P.S. Thanks for reminding me of Pinkshinyultrablast.

I love this video, again another great work guys

Another epic video

really enjoy your videos guys - So concise and helpful. Definately opened my eyes to St Petersburg - Especially from a food point of view. Keep them coming guys!

Great video. Herring Under Fur Coat made me smile. I was presented a large slice in 1993 by a Russian host. The "vegetables" referenced in the video were primarily beets. Probably some onions in there too. That far north not many veg choices back then. Needless to say my hosts were as wonderful as the dish was not. Beware and have a giant pile of boiled potatoes nearby to soften the blow. Loved seeing the changes since then!

Can I just say how much I appreciate you and your videos? You’re so unbiased, and without judgement, and your videos are based on the actual places and the people without governmental affairs and the media. Seriously, thank you for so much helpful insight ❤️

Don't go slowly, otherwise it hurts 🤣😆 Really enjoyed this vlog! Going to Russia in Sept so needing all the tips I can get lol

Herring under fur coat is one of my most favorite dishes/salads of all time. And subbed.

The best travel guide I've seen, and in Russia. Thanks so much!

Keep them coming... Feel so happy when you upload a video.

I love Saint Petersburg 😍 amazing place to visit💕 great video!!!

One of the best tours. Thanks for sharing. Great! Cant wait to go back to St. Petersburg

Fantastic. I was there 50, yes, 50 years ago. Holy Shit!!! The buildings are basically the same, however, the city is transformed!!!!

Great video...excellent quality...Keep up with the great work 👍🏻

these videos keep getting better and better. Please keep making more awesome travel videos! You are the best on KZfaq

Another amazing video. Have been watching your videos since the Hong Kong one last year! Your travel guide's have influenced a few of my trips (Amsterdam and Berlin for example). Love what you do; your book is on my Christmas list this year! Hope this comment reaches you!

Before I visit a city, I always check your videos. It helped me big time. Even if I put aside the informative parts, it's really enjoyable to watch your videos. I mean you always try to represent the entirety of a city itself, which is the best part for any viewer. Keep up the good work, guys.

Great video & very informative! Thank you guys!

One of the best travel vids I have ever seen, No BS. It is informative and entertaining Thank you very much

It's always exciting to see a new episode of Attache, followed by a sigh as I add another amazing city to the list of places I need to visit straight after.

I love your video, thanks for sharing it. It was fascinating to learn a little more about St. Petersburg!

Great vid! Thanks for the sweet tour and tips.

This was a treat to watch :) as a Petersburg local and a tourist guide, I thank you for the wonderful job you did! We need more positive insights to battle through the prejudice.

I’m so thankful for this episode. This is exactly how St.Pete is... so pleased to hear such a positive feedback on my city :)

Hey mate, awesome video as always! Thanks for the great content I cant wait for the next one! :D

I just LOVE St. Petersburg, have been here 3 times so far, can't wait to come again, hubby and me are even considering moving here, when retired - only problem: our Russian language skills... :)

This is amazing ! Eagerly waiting for your next video :)

I've been learning for a long time how wonderful Russia and Russians are. This video is more fabric in that assessment. Thank you for the hard work and excellent presentation. Have a great 2018.

Absolutely lovely video. Cant wait to travel there😍.

Thank you for a positive view of my home city. Tourists are always welcome here.

What an awesome and interesting place to visit l ! My kids love this. Thanks for sharing my friend . Keep posting please !!

Good job. Very professional review!

Lovely stuff. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Oh that's iconic pyshki place on Bol'shaya Konyushennaya str! Opened back in 1958! Childhood memories ...

I want to live there because of Dostoevsky's novels.

This video is the Greatest birthday surprise ever

at 5.49 that eagle in the background is exactly the same one my parents brought with them to america. good video. thx for posting

Really great video. We'll be there in a month or so. This video got us pumped!

Loved this one!

Definitely one great episode! The videography and story-telling has evolved from the very first ones you’ve aired. As an avid follower, I am inspired to visit St. Petersburg - which I have never seen in this kind of light before.

Awesome channel. loved every bit of it.

Hi: I'm Kevin Hill: I want to thank you guys at Attache (my keyboard will not allow me to put the grav over the `e' - sorry) for, without doubt, the very best travel guides / Vlogs, whatever you want to call them, on the internet: always insightful, concise, accurate and honest, with no flannel or missing the point or going to the wrong places. I have been to St. Petersburg 17 times and I could not have said anything better than you guys did. I continually watch your guides and, as always, will be looking out for the next ones, although, in this insane world we all live in at the moment, I would expect that for the next few weeks or months, your chances of travelling will be somewhat restricted, which is a cause of great regret for all of us with wanderlust. I wish you well with your future, hopefully sooner rather than later, endeavours. Yours sincerely, Kevin Hill from England in the United Kingdom.

Hola amigo, great video budd, I'm going to st Petersburg in June an your video it very informative, great camera work as well. Muchas gracias. LG

A great vid! You are an excellent narrator! Thank you!

HOLY SHIT, is that Pinkshinyultrablast? I had no idea they were from St. Petersburg! Thank you so much for using local music in your videos.

Welcome and thanks for the great video! Спасибо!)

Very good video straight to the point in a native way to enjoy the city (...and what a city!).

addicted to this travelling channel ..videos are very crisp & on to the point on how to enter the city..about food..transport..mode of payment...bla...bla..keep up superb work..very informative..kudos

YES THIS IS THE EPISODE I'VE BEEN WANTING FOR!!! (why it didn't show up in my feed till 3 months later). I miss St.P so much

I have been a great fun of your videos, you are incredibly thorough, your videos are actually helpful, I have used your videos to travel to 3 cities and it was great 👌 thank you for the great work. Next destination St.Pet

Looks so beautiful! I want to travel to St. Petersburg.

You guys have done a great job with this, thanks!

Amazing travel guide! I lived, studied and worked in St.P. for six years. But it was more than 18 years ago. And this guide was very interesting and informative for me, even for me, who is Russian and lived in that city of my student period of life. And I was very surprised how many things are changed during that period of time. But I found, actually, this short guide is very good introduction to that great city. Of course, you need to spend at least one year in St.P. to see and understand 'the soul of the city'. It is so many absolutely unique places to visit! A huge number! You simply will need a lot of time just to reach them around the city.

The buildings and architecture appear very ornate from your video. As well, the "Metro" looks very classy. This video opened my eyes to aspects of St. Petersburg. Your video makes me want to visit this city.

Thanks for the upload. St. Petersburg and Moscow have been on my must visit list for some years and it's about time I made it a reality. Your video concentrates a lot on food rather than the city itself but it's interesting and informative.

This is a great window on the city. Thank you

Excellent guide video. The voice and the body language; professional and welcoming to the watched like me. Hope to see more of Russia from your amazing intelligence-guiding skills.- from the Philippines🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Great thank you. What a wonderful place.

I think this is by far your best work yet Alex. An absolute pleasure to watch. Still waiting on an Auckland episode though! ;)

You come up everywhere on KZfaq, Alex! Finally got round to watching one of your vids. Very cool. That fried batter thing has made me hungry!

Awesome video! Moscow episode could change minds of even more people!

Great city I was there back in 1943 it looks so different now wow !!

I love this city! it's very beautiful here!

Saint Petersburg is my favorite city in the world! Great video!

I truly enjoyed watching this video!!!

Like Always! Amazing Video :)

thank you from the bottom of my russian heart for such a good episode about my beloved city

I was in St Petersburg in Sept 2019. Beautiful city and so clean. Moscow was also a great adventure. First world cities.

The soundtrack for this one is top drawer.

Your videos are great! I used your Paris one before I went and it was extremely helpful. Because of this video, I am definitely going to Russia next summer

Very helpful video! Thanks man.

What a huge city as in scale. My late Italian husband was assigned in Vyborg, went to visit him there in summer. Wow, the water smelled petrol and there were plenty of mosquitos. Went back and forth to St. Petersburgh. I loved their mushoom soup and all the savoury pastries. I even bought some to bring back to Italy. We didn't have a chance to visit the Peterhof Palace though. The bus left by the time we arrived at the bus terminal,

OMG!!! The music at the second part of the video, its Dolphin, he’s the best)))

beautiful city, great to visit in winter times
