Both Moscow and Saint Petersburg is an all season destination for tourists from around the world. Saint Petersburg is particularly popular in the summer owing to the White Nights when it experieces daylight even at midnight. A winter holiday in Russia will give you a completely different perspective of the country. A Russian winter tour in Moscow and St Petersburg will take you on enchanting wanders down snow-covered cobbled streets, and through squares and parks lit up in celebration of Christmas and New Years. The summer weather at Saint Petersburg can be very unpredictable with frequent showers which makes the weather cold. Hence an Umbrella & a god Windcheater jacket is a good idea even for the summer! During the winter, replace the wind-cheater jacket with something more thick and get some more layers within your cothing. Here is the list which is mainly important for tghe winter months:

• Good warm winter coat / jacket with hood. And it is preferable to have it wind- and waterproof.
• THE MOST IMPORTANT – good winter shoes. It is better to have boots on thick platform and with high top not to get any snow inside of your shoes!
•  Several pairs of warm winter socks (woollen socks are even better)
• Warm woollen cap / hat and scarf. It is good to have balaclava as well. 
• Warm trousers (skiing trousers are very good). Of course if you don’t have skiing trousers, you can use regular jeans, but they should have enough of free space to put on thermal underwear together with jeans.
• Full set of thermal inner-wear (both upper and lower)
• Warm jumpers and sweaters (Fleece/woollen if possible.
• Extra batteries for your phone, photo and video camera, because all batteries drain out quite fast when they are in the cold snowy weather.
• Personal first aid kit with medicaments for colds and fever, headache, stomach-ache, etc. as well as individual drugs, if you need to take them on regular basis.
