Travel Info during the 2 day stop in St petersburgh will it be possible to visit Moscow.? Travel Tips I went to Russia for 3 weeks last summer. In that time, we took a "weekend" to Moscow. Trust me on this one: Stay in St. Petersburg. The Hermitage is worth it. So is Peterhov. Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral is good as well as St. Isaac's Cathedral (The locals know it by a different name, but there's like 1000 stairs to the top of the church and an AMAZING view. If you have 2 days and just do those 4 things, you'll have felt your trip was well worth it. Taking 2 night trains to and from Moscow - although not a bad trip - just to see Lenin's tomb and St. Basil's cathedral is too smooshed. Make sure you see the Church on the Spilt blood though even just from the outside. It'll be similar enough to St. Basil's so that you won't feel like you missed too much. Do Moscow if you wish when you have a little more time. Others Moscow is a long ways away and there are many exciting things to see in St Petersburg. Technically, yes. One day to get there and one to get back. Quite frankly, St P is far more interesting and you'd be better off spending your time there. No. Moscow is too far away. I took the Holland America cruise to St. Petersburg and it was fabulous. Visit as many of the historic sites as possible. I wouldn't think so. Moskva is quite far away. That's a rush and St. Petersburg is really worth extra time. But if you've just gotta go, take a night train from St. Pete. to moscow one night, spend the day in Moscow, then return on the night train again to St. Pete. Even a sleeper compartment on the night trains are cheaper than many hotels, so you should get a good night's sleep. I went from Moscow to St Petersburg by coach, and that took us 9 hours. Im sure by train its faster, but in my experiance with Russia stick to St Petersburg. Moscow is not everything you may expect. The red square is not bustling with happiness its actual very organised fun and a little unfriendly. Where as St Petersburg there is a lighter atsmosphere and lots to see. Be careful thou if you take pictures of the amazing underground as i got fined. Have fun. |
