One of the best things I did before going to St. Pete’s was watching the film Russian
Ark. Filmed in a single shot (and in a single take), it goes through the major rooms of
the Hermitage (the Winter Palace at the heart of Petersburg) and through the major periods
of Russian History....

If you plan on spending a lot of time in museums, I recommend checking out the Budapest
Card. It gives you free transportation on all buses, trams, and metros, and free entry to
many of the museums. It's good for either 48 or 72 hours and can be bought at the
airport, in the train...

One last stop! When you arrive in Russia, you must register your visa. The easiest way
to do this is through the travel agency that has helped you to set up your visa. They
will guide you to the correct bureau to see on your first day in Russia and this is a
fairly quick and...

I worked with Infinity Travel (now named UniFest Travel) to get my invitation and they
couldn't be more pleasant, helpful, and efficient. With outposts in Moscow and St.
Pete's, they got me my invitation and assisted with the rest of the visa process
(including registration) faster...

When you get your visa, check it once and check it twice in the consulate. Make sure that
your name is spelled correctly, that the correct number of entries is listed, that your
entry and departure dates are correct along with the visa type, as well as your passport
number and date...

Again, you really need someone on the inside (friends or family members) to help you with
a Private Visa, and that includes securing an Izveschenye/Private Visa Invitation. Like
the Business Visas, you'll need to go through a Passport and Visa Service (PVU). This
will take longer,...

This is the most difficult visa to get. Be prepared for getting in line, waiting, getting
turned down, and coming back the next day to queue, wait, and repeat the process again.
Hopefully not too often. You can get this visa only if you have friends or family in
Russia that can get...

Obviously, you need your letter of invitation. Apart from that, you need several other
forms and documents to apply for your visa. Make sure you have all of these and that they
are correctly filled out so that you don't get turned down the first time. You'll need an
application...

This is a slightly more complex letter of invitation to get than can be provided by a
tourist organization (although they can point you in the right direction as to where to go
and who to speak with). Getting a business letter of invitation requires going to your

There are three kinds of business visas: the business single entry visa, the business
double entry visa, and the business multiple entry visa. The first two are exactly as
they sound: a single entry visa will get you in one time for either 30 or 90 days, and a
double entry visa will...

Now that you've done all that work in choosing your visa type and securing a letter of
invitation, you need to actually apply for the visa. If you have the time, patience, and
tenacity, you can apply in-person at the Russian consulate of your current city of
residence. You can also...

Part of the Visa process is getting an invitation for the type of Russian visa you want.
Unless you're opting for the private visa, the best way to do this is to work with a
Russian travel agency. They will help you with visa support; however it's critical that
you choose an agency...

These are the most common type of visas and generally last up to 14 days (although
occasionally they can be as long as 30 days). The cost is roughly $50 USD and will take a
week or so to process. As long as you are entering Russia only once and visiting no more
than five cities...

Since transit visas imply that you won't be staying long, they are fairly inexpensive and
easy to get. However, you don't want to get this visa just because of convenience if
you'll be staying long or visiting sights as a tourist. For all its simplicity, you'll be
kicking yourself...

My Russian visa is my most prized visa because it was the hardest to get. You need a visa
to get into Russia regardless of how long you are staying, and it is a much more
complicated process than getting a visa for any other European country. The first step
is to find out what...

The best way to get opera, ballet, or concert tickets in Prague is to visit one of the
various ticket offices located around the city--the easiest one to get to is directly off
Wenceslas Square. There are a few ticket offices (in town and online) who won’t steer
you wrong in prices....

Europe walking tour in Munich is guaranteed to please even the most anti-tour person. The

If I had my druthers (and a larger budget), I would get an apartment near Stephensplatz so
I could have access to the Haus Der Musik year-round. Located on Seilerstätte no. 30, it
is a stone’s throw away from the opera house and cathedral, and while you’re in the
area it’s a must to...

Glorious for saints and sinners alike, St.Stephen’s Basilica (Szent István bazilika) is
the church to see in Budapest. After undergoing a restoration a few years ago, it shines
from its new square (a sight of beauty in and of itself) and from the inside. Apart from
that, its big...
