As you know, November is not the best time to travel around Russia. And, probably, in general (at least) in Europe.

For the nature of the weather thoroughly spoils, and it rarely resembles its summer version. Often Wait, windy, sometimes frankly cold. And in some places at all-frosty!

Alas, even in early November, the weather in St. Petersburg often behaves according to the worst forecasts that can completely discourage the hunt. Which, however, does not hold some of the tourists.

Ready to pay a visit to the North Palmyra even in “difficult weather conditions”. And, moreover, hoping at the same time getting vivid and positive emotions.

We think you will not regret it! But in advance we will still provide you with some practical information.

Weather in St. Petersburg in November

By all means makes it clear that ordinary sunlight is an incredibly valuable gift. Which residents of the city and its guests at this time of the year for some reason (according to nature) do not deserve at all.

Therefore, in general, throughout November, St. Petersburg is observing the weather that you can’t call otherwise as a cloudy, dank and most pessimistic. For very rare exception – Clear days in this month are in a huge minority (if they happen at all).

Although it will not be at all thoroughly, shallow drizzle, constantly hanging in the air, exhausts the rain more. Evasions impregnate everything, humidity settles in the range of 90-100%.

You make yourself rejoice by visiting some unusual tour of St. Petersburg. But you do it as if from under a stick – literally everything around it seems to try to knock the soil out of under the feet and immerse it in deep depression!

At the same time, the air temperature in the November St. Petersburg at first Sometimes exceeds The same in much more southern regions. For example, in other years, the last month of autumn begins with attempts at the thermometer not only to get, but also to settle in the range of +4-7 ° C. In daytime, however, a clock!

Then, a week later, Frosty weather can be established. But also quickly it is replaced by late-autumn heat and temperatures up to +8-10 degrees Celsius.

True, starting from the second half of November, a real winter usually comes to St. Petersburg. And weather forecasters diligently and regularly promise from 2-3 to even 5-7 degrees below zero.

At night even colder, but fortunately for now Not much. If minus temperatures are promised during the day, then after sunset the sun will be frosty.

Important!

On the roads – ice, which is periodically replaced by snow porridge, saturated with a saline potion from utilities. On the sidewalks at times – a real skating rinkthe chosen citizens and tourists who are forced to slide, and sometimes fall when trying to see the sights of St. Petersburg with their own eyes.

You should certainly remember this during walking through the streets and embankments. When I want to constantly look up, but not under the feet!

In the morning, it is often especially slippery, during the night everything is hardened by the legs and wheels of the cars back. And people are in a hurry to work and are not inclined to attach much importance to some probability of falling there.

It becomes Very dangerous And twilight, gray evenings, when there is no strength to notice anything. And nothing is visible in this early approaching darkness.

If in early November the sun in St. Petersburg rises at the beginning of the ninth and enters about 17 hours, then at the end of the month the duration of daylight hours is reduced by already for more than 2 hours. WITH almost 9 to all 6.5!

However, as mentioned above, the Svetil itself is trying not to show himself at all. And the sunrise is recognized only by the change of coal-black shades to dirty gray.

How to dress

A waterproof insulated jacket with a hood is your main weapon against the November weather of the St. Petersburg format. The body and the hat, as well as the scarf, which are so pleasant to hide to the chin, flatter. Plus not thick leather gloves.

Particular attention should be paid to shoes. More precisely, on the sole – from its ability to cling to slippery surfaces, it may turn out, much will depend.

However, at the same time Shoes should not be such that it is sorry Lost. Even in reviews, you can sometimes regret an irrevocably spoiled expensive boots.

That is, at this time you should not wear any suede or nubuk. For St. Petersburg snow porridge, overwhelmed with reagents, is perfectly trained to destroy good boots and boots. Therefore, a wax grown with a thick layer and polished leather shoes are the best choice.

Warled rubber boots will also go. If you manage to not forget that on the ice you need to go in an extremely carefully.

Prices 2025

Tourists in St. Petersburg in the last month of autumn and in good years did not happen too much. If you multiply this by modern realities, then … in general, the choice of options where you can stop, moreover than ever it is traditionally vast, and prices – prices – quite acceptable.

Especially if you do not certainly look for housing in the city center, but pick up your apartment or apartments in the sleeping area. For example, in 4-6 metro stops from Nevsky Prospekt.

The standard autumn price tag is not “in the center” – from 3,500 rubles per day of the studio rentalwhere you can accommodate up to 3-4 people …

For our part, we will advise you to pay attention to hotels and apartments near the Lesnaya metro station, which lives mainly in new buildings or reconstructed stalks.

First of all, due to the fact that getting from here by the subway to Nevsky Prospekt You can in 20 minutes!

As for the central regions of St. Petersburg, it is easier with them, and at the same time more difficult-you will have to pretend all the time, but “is the game of candles”? That is, money, of course.

If you thoroughly rummage, however, then you will find interesting offers. For example, take a closer look at the Bombflat apartments in Grivtsov Lane (from 6-6.5 thousand rubles for three)-this is next to Sennaya Square. To Nevsky Prospekt from here – no more than 15 minutes!

Even closer, literally a 5 -minute walk from the alley is Isaac’s Square. And only a little further-Kolomna (constantly appearing in the classical works of Russian literature) and the beautiful blue and white Nikolsky Cathedral.

What to do

The algorithm of the action of a tourist in November Peter is somewhat different from that in the more sunny season. First of all, the fact that I want to reduce the duration of hiking.

And pay maximum attention not to the roofs, but at least the front -line revenue houses. Excursions on which modern guides love to drive so much.

It is definitely worth visiting the museums of St. Petersburg in November. Moreover, during this period they try to diversify the diet of cultural gourmets with interesting exhibitions and cognitive excursions.

Tickets to the same Hermitage and the Russian Museum are sold, including online. And the halls are no longer required to walk in a mask …

Pay attention to the St. Isaac’s Cathedral, which never went into the church, remaining a secular museum. Be sure to visit the Yusupov Palace on Moika and Menshikovsky – on the University Embankment.

The museum at the Academy of Arts opened for visitors again – it works in sessions. And it is habitually that the turn of those who want to get aboard the Aurora.

The very “ship of the revolution” whose shot on November 7 Furore produced He put an end to the former St. Petersburg. And he led to a series of events that forever changed the course of domestic, and world history.

We will advise the disposable time to pay attention to some little-known places in St. Petersburg. The boys will expected to pull the artillery museum that he got a job in an impressive brick crown of the Peter and Paul Fortress. And in the naval, next to the area of ​​labor.

Literally everyone, regardless of age, attracts the Russian Grand Macket on Flower Street in the Moscow district. And only connoisseurs of the beautiful – another private museum, Faberge. The one in the halls of the aristocratic Shuvalovsky palace on the embankment of the Fontanka River.

Where to go

Naturally, despite the generally not too “summer” and suitable weather, we will call you visit the suburbs of St. Petersburg.

As in the palace: to Peterhof and Pushkin, Pavlovsk and Gatchina – when also to visit places such as not during the outflow of tourists? So in quite “ordinary”.

After all, to get from St. Petersburg to Vyborg, the former Finnish Viipuri, and to this day of the “Swedish city” of Russia literally necessary. Like to visit Kronstadt, once the main base of the Russian Baltic Fleet.
