St. Petersburg c June 2025 – is it worth going? Weather and reviews, air and water temperature, how to dress and whether it is possible to swim, prices in hotels and on excursions. What to see in St. Petersburg in early summer, where to go with children and what to do-in the Eurotraveler review.
It was believed that St. Petersburg during white nights was an infinitely romantic place. Impressive even people of completely pragmatic, and even creative people who are completely inspiring for accomplishments.
However, one of the townspeople and even (very small) part of tourists tend to consider this period of the year a natural curse. It is difficult to fall asleep – incomprehensible power excites the mind. The magnet is drawn to wander around the streets bathing at dusk and the embankment of the city smoked lilac.
Tourists totally change the life rhythm and enjoy the pronounced irrationality of what is happening. They walk the streets, become participants in original excursions, climb on the roofs, explore beautiful yards and ceremonial.
They look with pleasure at the degrees of bridges, they sit on the paving stones of Palace Square on a column. A pink cloud quickly flared up in the east is observed on the Marse Field. And only simultaneously with the sunrise they go to bed.
The townspeople react more calmly-they are accustomed to the fact that St. Petersburg during June is clearly exciting and even hardened people. And they are comforted by the knowledge that it will all end soon.
And then it will be possible to return to ordinary predictable everyday life, definite and … boring! And the nights will again enter the usual, ink, track – at the end of July, Peter totally forgets about the exciting, full puzzles and promises of half -somrakrak.
The drawn magic picture is impressive, agree? And literally moves on a trip. Although in reality everything is not so romantic. Primarily because
Weather in St. Petersburg in June
It is not too pleasant and sometimes just forgets that in the “courtyard” – summer! Often it can be cloudy and rainy, the atmosphere is as if soaked in dank dampness and some kind of autumn cold.
The heat that is usually different in North Venice is the end of May is a thing of the past, as it has never been. And the sun is in no hurry to delight with frequent appearance in the sky: cloudy days in June are numbered in number.
Daytime air temperatures in St. Petersburg in June “swim” in a discouraging corridor from +10 to even +30 degrees Celsius. At night it is colder: up to +6-8 ° C. Although usually, of course, everything is warmer-about +16-18 ° C.
In the suburbs rarely, but frosts occur – at the very beginning of summer. The ice film on the Neva and the channels, however, never appears at this time.
Again, the townspeople and guests observe such a “picture” not every year. Since sometimes June in St. Petersburg is very quiet and bright: it is not hot, but not cold, all the time in the area +17-20 ° C.
Walking in such weather is a pleasure. Especially if you still know where to go and what sights of Peter to look first.
However, I would like not only to walk-both tourists and citizens love and swim somewhere. Not a brass, of course, on a heat,-2-3-day cruises on Valaam and Kizhi from St. Petersburg-popular entertainment. Fortunately, what is relatively inexpensive!
In early summer, St. Petersburg sees even more rains than in May. But less than in July. True, their “smeared” and the lack of a powerful storm accent sometimes confuses.
How to dress and take an umbrella: #Tynikogdann. However, but it promises potentially vivid emotions!
Water temperature
A certain number of citizens – usually, however, living in the city – worries the question: is it possible to swim in June? There is no single answer to it – the situation is changing from year to year.
Usually still not-water even in the lakes does not warm above +16-17 degrees Celsius. But sometimes only this can be saved from suffocating and obscuring heat.
In another year, in the middle and end of June in St. Petersburg it may be hot: a week or even one and a half. In such periods, literally all available reservoirs – we do not mean urban and Peterhof fountains – almost boil from the number of citizens who were led to plunge.
And another year, it will be warm at best-not higher than +23-25 ° C, and then on some days. That is, you can swim in theory, but it is not always pulling …
Again, there is heat today, but tomorrow is far from a fact. Yes, and July in St. Petersburg may well be so cool that you do not think about bathing.
How to dress
Here you need to recommend not to rely too much on the weather forecast – it is sometimes not accurate. And the long -term and just unreliable!
So in general, dress in St. Petersburg in June is “with a margin”. Well, or, at least, to foresee that you will need something more thorough than a summer dress or trousers with a T -shirt.
A waterproof jacket with a hood should be taken with you. Like convenient closed shoes that are able to withstand the brief, but strong attacks of St. Petersburg rains. Sandals and sandals will be in the “topic” only if you are used to and can walk with wet legs for a long time.
Sweatshops and sweaters should be present in the suitcases of romantic persons, intending to wander mysterious, but often cold in June by St. Petersburg nights.
Naturally, you must definitely take with you and something easier. After all, both dresses and t -shirts may well become the main form of clothing not only in midday, but also in the evening hours.
Prices 2025
If you take a chance and construct a trip without travel agency, you will be able to save seriously. First of all, there is no longer a ruin pleasure for living in St. Petersburg today. It all depends on the location and size, I see …
Hotels, in principle, are also not as dear as they were once. So for a room in a modest, but beautifully deployed (Nevsky Prospekt) Marel Hotel in mid-June you will pay about 7-8 thousand rubles per day.
Those who wish to save should consider the possibility of stopping at the “periphery” of Peter.
By the way, nearby: for example, in the area of the metro station “Square of Courage” you can find a studio in the new apart-hobby-Avenue Apart for courage (from 5,000 rubles per day for two). And from the designated station to the central “Gostiny Dvor” can be reached in 20-25 minutes!
A little closer to the city center, near the Lesnaya metro station, in a very pleasant, filled with early Stalinist houses, the area can be removed inexpensive apartments with a fresh repair. Moreover, the day of residence will cost the same 5 thousand.
Another significant bonus with an independent trip format will be the opportunity not to deny yourself excursions!
The price of prices is as follows
Group excursions with the guide cost from 800 – 1,200 rubles per person. The cost of individual can begin below – from 750 rubles. Spiritual promotions are regularly held.
Tickets for palaces and museums will cost 400-1,200 rubles. If you are a citizen of the Russian Federation, or EAEU countries.
Transport
With the passage, we resolve the issue radically – we purchase the Plantain transport card. Since otherwise you have to severely overpay for trips. At the so -called “guest” tariff, a one -time travel in the St. Petersburg subway costs 81 rubles in 2025. And 75 rubles – in ground public transport.
The trip on the mentioned card costs 51 rubles on ground types of public transport, and 56 rubles in the subway. There are versions of a travel card for a day, for 2-7 days.
You can purchase a “plantain” at any metro station, and more … Nowhere. Also, only at the stations you can activate the money that you put on this transport card online. Without this simple, but mandatory action, the amount is simply not displayed on a virtual account.
Most existing excursion tours in St. Petersburg suggest independent arrival of tourists in the city. Then they are settled in an inexpensive hotel (of course – not in the center) and begin to pump up with arrays of knowledge on quite the same type, although sometimes interesting sightseeing excursions.
The cost of such trips lasting 3-4 days in June begins from 20 thousand rubles per person. Breakfast plus excursion support, however, can be included and not excluded.
What to do
You can definitely advise excursions. Both viewing and highly specialized. After all, the beginning of summer in North Palmyra is well suited for hiking! And in the company of a knowledgeable guide – doubly!
Entertainment prices are tolerant. In any case, they will not break through a gaping hole in the tourist budget. Even if you want to not only admire panoramas from the roofs, but, for example, listen to the lecture, walking on the Hermitage.
Independent tourists should not get hung up on museums too much. No, the Hermitage Collection and paintings of Russian artists in the Russian Museum, if you are in St. Petersburg for the first time, should certainly be examined. But the rest of the time also needs to be spent with benefit.
We recommend that you go up to the colonnade of the Isaac’s Cathedral – during white nights it is not closed with the onset of dusk. They will also deliver a lot of pleasure to connoisseurs of architectural beauties, for example, footpan on the sink embankment: after 8-9 pm, the number of cars scurrying along the roads decreases sharply. Of course, they will leave positive impressions and walks in the summer garden: in June, like in the summer, it works until 22 hours.
But to go to Nevsky should no longer earlier than 23 hours. Since in the afternoon it is clogged with such crowds that it is time for a reversing traffic light to it.
We do not recommend mediating to Palace Square and the English embankment on the night of the “Scarlet Sails” graduates (in 2025 it will be held from June 28 to 29). During this action, those who want to look at the salute and the sailboat literally lacks a place on the sidewalks and the roadway – people climb onto the visors of ceremonial and window sills.
Pay attention to not the most common ways to get acquainted with the city. In particular, pay a visit to St. Petersburg roofs. And at the same time, the yards: there is an opinion that you will not find two identical in the historical center!
For every St. Petersburg court has its own story … Often – sad. And rarely – joyful.
Where to go
Devote more time to travel out of town. Visit not only the palaces of Peterhof and Pushkin (Tsarskoye Selo). Go to Lomonosov and Kronstadt, get to the Gatchinsky castle, whose June Park is sometimes especially beautiful and captivated.
Fans of painting can visit the Repin House-Museum in the resort village of the seaside of the same name. And stories – go to see Vyborg (on the “swallow” only 1’10 on the way) – if you know a lot about walking in quiet European towns with beautiful houses.
Yes, and in the Ruskeala mountain park you can ride a tour. Perhaps discovering a new and immensely attractive region.
After all, you can see in Karelia today not only to Valaam and Kizhi. But other, also extremely picturesque places – by ear, both the Ladoga skerries and the mysterious slide of Vyutovar.
