Erarta museum of contemporary art
$7Erarta museum of contemporary art
Ererta is a new museum (established in 2010) – and one of the most interesting ones as we think! Contemporary art never leaves you uninterested: you love it or hate it. The collection is so big here you won’t be disappointed, usually it’s 2 or 3 hours people spend here wandering from one exposition to another. Erarta also hosts some shows, film shows, exhibitions and other interesting events (however shows and films are mostly on weekends). By the way, if you gather into a big group – they will assign you a guide for free. The only trouble is location: this place is rather far from city center on Vasilievsky island so you have to get a taxi or go by public transport (both by metro and a bus most probably).

The Hat jazz bar
$35The Hat jazz bar
The Hat is a popular jazz bar full of people even on weekdays. This is a small bar with live jazz playing from 10 pm to 2 am every day. Cocktails are great and so is the music. The atmosphere is fantastic as jazz lovers are always good people and awesome live jazz makes everyone smile in delight. This place is really good, though a bit pricy. A great choice anyway!

This is another must-see place of our city.

Soul Kitchen club
$30Soul Kitchen club
Soul Kitchen has probably the best music on Dumskaya. No one will be in a wonder if Liam Howlett comes playing here. Music is definitely great! This place is a bit different from other clubs but be sure it is still Dumskaya with packs of drunk people now drinking more expensive drinks and partying with better music. They sell laughing gas here by the way. There are two dancefloors. 2nd stage has a mashup eurodance music (we’re pretty sure an MC from one of Aiya Napa clubs works there in winter so it is definitely what you expect a bar street club to be). The 3rd floor has an electronic music like trance or techno or house or whatever performed by top Russian and foreign DJs. Well, if you happen to be at Dumskaya bar street and want some good music you are welcome!

Cube bar
$25Cube bar
Cube bar is probably a nicest place on Dumskaya! Some DJ playing electronics, good drinks for reasonable prices, smily people and so on. Seriously, this place is not bad at all! Worth trying! Feels pretty well when you compare it to those shitty clubs around! They don’t have a Tripadvisor page so see a Forsquare page instead please.

Poison Rock Karaoke Bar
$30Poison Rock Karaoke Bar
A network of 3 bars (1 bar is about to open in Prague, Czech republic). They are located in Ligovsky 50, Rubinsteina and Dumskaya bar streets. They sing rock songs here! From Beatles to Guano Apes, from Prodigy to System of a Down. This place is full of fun as the drinks are cheap. Poison bars on Dumskaya and Rubinsteina are packed even on weekdays. The guards are rude and really big so don’t ask too much questions if they don’t let you in! Like all bars on Dumskaya, Poison on Dumskaya street is the dirtiest and the cheapest. Poison on Rubinsteina street is cleaner and a bit more expensive. Ligovsky 50 bar is something in the middle (plus you probably can smoke in this bar so avoid it if you’re non-smoker). As soon as people sing songs in English here be sure every visitor speaks English at least a little bit.

Dead Poets
$50Dead Poets
A nice and clean place on Zhukovskogo street. Great food, great drinks (a large collection of whiskeys, rums and wines). Good service, smiley staff, nice DJ music on weekend nights. Bartenders are ready to make any cocktail you want. Just another perfect place to visit! Best for late dinners or early night drinks, some fun available later at night too.

Killfish bar
$10Killfish bar
Killfish is a network of bars in St. Petersburg, Moscow and other cities. Probably cheapest bars in the town with a beer (nice draft made by Killfish company) starting from about a dollar! Nice sushi, terrible food and strong drinks wait for you. Cocktails are primitive, but deadly strong! Extreme cocktails available (for example, they put a helmet on your head, give you some burning absinth and champagne and then hit your head slightly with a baseball bat). Some rock music is playing, stupid Adult Swim cartoons are on the screens, the lights are not so bright, young people are drinking, it is loud and somehow really great! Even poor interiors and cheap menus don’t spoil the feeling you’re in a nice place. The only real drawback is cards: you need a special card for payments (take some document and a cellphone with you, they are required). You get about +30% to the prices if you don’t have a card. Sometimes you may have problems with guards (they work mostly on weekend evenings), but this is not likely unless you come there drunk like hell and naked. This is a great choice to get absolutely shitfaced for a couple of dollars! All bars close at 2 am so you can’t stay until the morning, but be sure to have a pre-party here if you are not afraid of a bit trashy places. Chek out a Killfish bar with a best location on Tripadvisor.

Tsarskoe selo & Catherine’s palace
$2Tsarskoe selo & Catherine’s palace
A great ensemble of a park and a palace in Tsarskoe selo (this means ‘royal village’ in Russian). This small city is located 20 km from St Petersburg and is full of parks and museums. Caterine’s park and Catherine’s palace are a true masterpiece of barroque! It is all covered in gold and marble, looking incredibly posh and bright. And it is surrounded by a marvellous park. The best time for a visit is the end of September, when the park is all in yellow, and the end of May, when everything blooms, but summer time is also great. If you have a lot of free time in St. Petersburg – go there and see it, this small trip will take a day but it’s worth it. If you are short of time – go to Peterhof.
