I've been in Saint Petersburg for about a week and a half now and I have done almost nothing and am really ashamed. It's such a beautiful city but I'm very socially anxious and anxious in general, and it's even worse that I don't know the language. I have about 2.5 weeks left here and I want to make the best of it instead of hiding inside all the time. I will try to go to some landmarks and such like pic related but where else can I go here that's interesting and unique to Saint Pete?
And general tips on interacting with Russians.
(I am trying to learn some basic Russian but it won't suffice)
1. Excursion to the roof of St. Isaac's Cathedral.
2. to go on a bus or on the "Meteor" (by hydrofoil) to Peterhof.
3. Walk on foot early in the morning in St. Petersburg, in the center.
4. Artillery museum of curiosities, the Hermitage, the Peter and Paul Fortress.
5. At night, look at the bridges.
6. Excursion to the waterbus the canals of St. Petersburg.
