THEATRES JAZZ and BLUES CASINOS NIGHT CLUBS
BOWLING SAUNA and BANYA SPORT ACTIVITIES

Saint Petersburg is known as cultural capital of Russia, because of its over hundred theatres, philharmonic halls, concert halls and jazz clubs, answering any exquisite taste.

Go with a friend and enjoy yourself in night clubs and casinos! Many of the city's bars and so-called art cafes close between 11 pm and midnight. The majority of nightclubs and casinos are open until 6 am, making them a lively refuge for people who find themselves on the wrong side of the river after the bridges have been raised. (St. Petersburg's many drawbridges open nightly 10 April-1 December. Specific times vary, but to be safe, don't plan on crossing one 1:30-5 am.)

You will really feel you better after Russian banya! Russian Banya as well as Russian vodka are the most famous Russian traditions. But if vodka is a bad tradition, the medical advantage of Russian banya does not call in question. Russian Banya is a steam bath, where the Russians go not only for washing, but also for relaxing. When you visit Russian banya, it is necessary to cover your hair with felt or wool hat in banya. Also it is important to keep your legs at the same level with your head because the up and down temperature is very different.

St. Petersburg has many centrally located "sports palaces" -- gyms with indoor courts for basketball, tennis and soccer. But the most popular kinds of sport are skiing and skating. Check sport activities for planning your leisure time in St.Petersburg. Billiards and bowiling also get more popular in Russia and in St.Petersburg.
