• This Weekend in St. Petersburg: October 6-7

  Even if you are a daredevil always looking for a new adventure, as autumn sets in and the evenings get darker and chillier, you may start thinking that sitting in your bed all day long cuddled up in a warm blanket and sipping on hot tea is not such a bad idea after all. But don’t give up just yet! If you dare to venture out into the rain and cold, you will see the city from a different angle, just as locals do; without crowds of tourists, with calm and peaceful gardens covered in bright foliage and immersed in fog. Just remember that to fully enjoy the experience, you will have to dress like a local, too: wear a warm coat, rainproof boots, a scarf, gloves, and don’t forget an umbrella!

• Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines: An Unexpected Experience

  We’re indeed living in the age of progress. Things change fast, maybe even too fast, and sometimes it’s hard to remember the time when we didn’t have smartphones, Wi-Fi, and access to a whole galaxy of information and entertainment. Still, while aimlessly browsing the Web in an attempt to find anything that would pique my interest, I can’t help but get nostalgic about the good old times when technology, simple as it was, was more of a miracle than some commonplace amenity. Lucky for me and everyone who feels the same, there are places that offer us an opportunity to relive this long-forgotten experience. Among them is the Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines; its exhibits, rustic and obsolete as they are, still carry the peculiar attraction of a bygone era.

• Saint Petersburg Hidden Gems: Annenkirche

  St. Petersburg is indeed a city of surprises. Having always existed on the verge of novelty and tradition, it never ceases to amaze those ready to look past its commonplace attractions. Oftentimes, it only takes a single step away from your regular tourist track to find wonders much different from its well-advertised treasures. Annenkirche, a historic Lutheran church on Kirochnaya Ulitsa, is one such place: misleadingly plain on the outside, it offers a truly unique experience that you will never forget.
