Your Expat Community in St. Petersburg

A Breathtaking City of Class and Culture

St. Petersburg has always been one of the most stunning cities in Russia, often vying with Moscow to be the center of power and culture in the vast country. As well as enjoying the architecture and vistas, expats will also find a city burgeoning with great cuisine, lively bars, and a wide variety of artistic venues to give them a great experience. While relations may have cooled between Russia and the west in recent years, St. Petersburg has always attracted expatriates and foreigners and has a distinctly more European feel than other major Russian cities, so you can expect to feel welcome. Check out our guides and forum for tips and you'll be sure to have the best time possible during your time in St. Petersburg.
