First-date ideas for Saint Petersburg

In Saint Petersburg it helps to meet halfway rather than in one person's neighbourhood. A place near a transport hub means nobody spends an hour getting there, or getting home.

Staying safe

  • Meet in busy public places and tell a friend where you are going.
  • Never send money to people you met online.
  • Report and block anyone who makes you uncomfortable.
