1. It’s incredibly beautiful.
Imagine strolling along the snow-covered Nevsky Prospekt, taking photos in front of the Winter Palace (it’s called the Winter Palace for a reason). If a snowstorm begins, you can explore the halls of the Hermitage. During a snowfall, it’s best to visit Tsarskoye Selo. It becomes unrealistically beautiful, blanketed in snow, and you feel like a member of the royal family as you walk through the grounds.
2. Fewer tourists.
This means you can enjoy the amazing treasures of the city without the hustle and bustle of crowds.
3. It’s affordable.
Most hotels significantly reduce their prices during the winter season. Winter presents a unique opportunity to stay in the historic city center in luxurious hotels at very reasonable rates. Room prices start at around $40 per night. Additionally, restaurants and other attractions also lower their prices. This is due to the decrease in tourist traffic, and they need to attract visitors.
