High Season
The warm climate prevails between June and September, it is the perfect period for tourists, that Means transportation and accommodation must be booked months ago. The nights are very warm during the summer, but they contrast with the bright days in the country. Prices tend to rise in St. Petersburg.
Shoulder Season
In late spring and early fall (May and October), tourists travel to see both the bright green colors of spring and the coppery autumnal shades. In these months there are many cultural events.
Low Season
The winds and the temperature become increasingly cold starting from November and extending until April. In general, it is low season in the country because of the cold that can reach the freezing point, however, in mountainous areas it is high season of skiing and winter sports.

Your travel to Russia has about 52% the climate impact as your entire yearly budget of CO₂ emissions. This "yearly climate-compatible budget" sets the limit of emissions any person should produce in order to keep global warming to below 2C at about 2 tons of CO2. It includes anything from heating to stay warm and cosy in winter, your daily hot showers, the annoying commute to work, any traveling you do, the production of your yummy food and products you buy – and much more you emit by living your life.
Of your yearly CO₂ Budget
52%
Just like slow food – ever thought about slow travel? Discovering the hidden treasures nearby is a great new adventure. Go by train to get a better feeling of small changes in your surroundings or have a fun road trip with your friends.
If you still feel the need to fly, compensate your emissions.
