I know there are already posts concerning this subject. I have been browsing them for hours. My eyes are tired and I could really use some recent Information. I am planning a last minute trip to St. Petersburg from Helsinki for approximately the middle of March. Whatever information anyone has to offer will be appreciated.
I would like to know if I will be able to get a return ferry to Helsinki after two nights in St. Petersburg in order to satisfy the 72 hour no visa requirement?
I would also like to know if I am permitted to stay at a hostel, rather than at a hotel?
Do I really have to pay 25€ to get a shuttle bus from the ferry dock to the centre of St. Petersburg?
I've never been in any Scandinavian countries or Arusha before. It's all new to me.
Thank you.
