Advice

Hey everyone,
I recently found this event at Morskaya / Sevkabel Port and it looks really interesting. I’ll be in Moscow from May 24–28 and then in Saint Petersburg from May 28–June 1.
I’m especially looking for:
open-air parties
electronic music events
concerts
local festivals
art/cultural spaces similar to Sevkabel Port
anything with a good local atmosphere
Do you have any recommendations for events, venues, or places I should check during those dates?
It’ll be my first time visiting both cities, so I’d appreciate any suggestions.

cycleing in SPb

Hi everyone,

I’ll be in Saint Petersburg between May 28 and June 1, and I’m thinking about renting a bicycle to explore the city and see more places during the day.

Is the city generally good for cycling? Are there enough bike lanes or safe streets for riding around as a tourist? Also, are there any reliable local bike rental services you would recommend? I’d prefer a decent-quality bike rather than the cheapest option.

I’d also appreciate any advice about areas that are good (or bad) for cycling, traffic situations, weather considerations, or anything else I should know before renting a bike there.
Thanks.

Moscow next week! Any quick local tips?

I will be in Moscow and St. Petersburg next week. We want to skip the typical tourist traps and experience the local vibe.
Are there any cool cultural events, hidden spots, or good underground techno/electronic music events happening next week? Any quick recommendations for local bars or hangouts would be awesome. Thanks!

Hey everyone! 👋

I will be visiting your beautiful city from May 23rd to June 1st and I’m incredibly excited. I want to make the most out of my trip and would love to get some local recommendations from you all.

Here is what I am looking for:

  • Food: Where are the absolute must-eat places? I'm looking for delicious food, whether it's traditional cuisine or great modern spots.
  • Nightlife: I am from Istanbul, and I know from experience that to find the actually good, reasonably priced clubs that aren't tourist traps, you really need local advice. I assume it's the exact same in Moscow! Can you recommend some good, laid-back nightclubs or bars? I want to avoid overly pretentious, stiff, or "face-control-heavy" places. I'm just looking for good music (I really enjoy a good techno party!), good drinks, and chill vibes.
    • A quick question for the locals: Do foreigners typically experience any issues in Moscow's nightlife? Also, is it mandatory to have a female companion to get past the bouncers, or is it generally fine to enter solo or with male friends?
  • Events & Festivals: Are there any cool festivals, open-air concerts, or special events happening during my dates (May 23 - June 1)?
  • Teach me how to fish! 🎣: If you don't have specific events in mind for those dates, I would really appreciate it if you could teach me how to find them myself! What are the best websites, apps, VK groups, or Telegram channels that locals use to check out what's happening in the city?

I am also planning to visit St. Petersburg during this trip, so absolutely everything I asked above applies to St. Petersburg as well!

Thanks in advance for your help!
