Visit - plus Tourism and travels

If you plan to visit St. Petersburg in the winter, you should be careful. This may be unknown and unexpected for tourists from many countries. Snow and ice can be dangerous.

Ice is very slippery. A person may fall and be injured by slipping on the ice. Snow on the roofs of houses can turn into ice and icicles under certain weather conditions. Falling from the roof, snow, ice and icicles can cause injury and even kill.

Oktoberfest (locals also use the word Wiesn) is the most famous beer festival in the world. Oktoberfest is held annually in autumn (September - October), in Munich (Germany, Bavaria). About six million people attend this event annually. In 2019, the Oktoberfest in Munich will be held from September 21 to October 06.

Russia is a visa-free country for citizens of more than 100 countries (on the basis of reciprocity).

Citizens of many countries are forced to get a visa to visit Russia. Complicated paperwork requires a lot of time and increases the total cost of travel.

Estonian Music Days.

Nearly 3.5 million foreign tourists came to Russia last year for the World Cup. Russia was visited by football fans from 32 countries of the world. But not all of them returned to their homeland.

According to information available on the Internet, about 12 thousand foreign tourists did not leave Russia as of January 1, 2019. Their stay in Russia has become illegal since December 31, 2018. This number has decreased by approximately two times, including by the efforts of various public services.

Venice introduces a pre-booking system (entrance ticket) for visiting the city for tourists. Entrance to the city will be paid. The number of tickets (for visiting the city) may be limited. The cost of admission can be up to 10 euros.
