As we have been here already once before, and saw some of the city\u2019s \u201cmust see\u201d attractions and sights back then, we concentrated on little bit more alternative things this time.<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our first evening in St. Petersburg<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>On the evening we arrived in St. Petersburg we first bought a Russian sim card at local provider Megafon\u2019s Shop. The whole process was really easy, took us around five minutes and was costing less than 10 Euros for unlimited internet for two weeks. It\u2019s always practical to have mobile internet while travelling, for doing some research on the way.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>After completing our phone card business we decided to explore the city by skateboards and pass by at the Fontanka River, one of the arms of Neva. Before leaving home we were pondering quite long whether to take our skateboards on this journey or not. Finally Seri created us some pretty awesome mini boards from old skateboard decks and already the first day has shown us that taking them along was the right choice (yes, we know there might be weeks without any skateable roads ahead of us&#8230;).<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_1291\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1291\" style=\"width: 1013px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"postimage wp-image-1291 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080537.jpg\" alt=\"Our new travel skateboards &lt;3\" width=\"1013\" height=\"1800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080537.jpg 1013w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080537-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080537-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080537-576x1024.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1013px) 100vw, 1013px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1291\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our new travel skateboards &lt;3<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_1301\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1301\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"postimage wp-image-1301\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080653-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"By the Neva River\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080653-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080653-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080653-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080653.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1301\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">By the Fontanka River<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">At the Fontanka river, we went to some park to celebrate the first day of our journey by drinking local beer.

This was the perfect way to end our first day in Russia. And yes, as the next days showed us, the whole city seems to be pretty damn cool.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 2 in St. Petersburg<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The next morning it was raining so we didn\u2019t hurry to get up from the bed&#8230; After all we were finally on a holiday (and had slept bad because of the loud telephoning grannies behind our paper thin wall). Around noon time Seri went for a little bouldering session in one of St. Petersburg\u2019s climbing halls and after that we had a late lunch. Another vegan\/vegetarian restaurant recommendation for St. Petersburg: <strong>Cafe Auroville<\/strong>. Everything on the menu sounded so good that we had hard time making any decisions.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>We thought that visiting a museum would be a perfect activity for a rainy day. Therefore we tried to get to this museum called Kunstkamera. We never got there though, since we happened to make the rookie mistake of taking a bus to the wrong direction. After we finally got back to the starting point it was already so late that there was no point to go anymore.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Time for plan B. There is a place called Pushkinskaya-10 that we also wanted to visit. It\u2019s supposed to be some kind of self regulated art commune with galleries in an old squatted house. The entrance looked promising but then we found a note on the door stating that it was closed that day.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Luckily plan C worked out. <strong>Loft Project Etagi<\/strong> is again some kind of a multi-storey complex filled with small restaurants, bars and shops. It felt more commercial than Golitsyn Loft though \u2013 like some Russian hipster mall.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_1293\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1293\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"postimage wp-image-1293\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080557-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The courtyard of Loft Project Etagi\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080557-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080557-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080557-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080557.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1293\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The courtyard of Loft Project Etagi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_1297\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1297\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"postimage wp-image-1297\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080605-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Hip Russian styled shop window :D\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080605-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080605-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080605-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080605.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1297\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hip Russian styled shop window \ud83d\ude00<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The main reason we wanted to visit there was the rooftop.

We were already tired of all the skating and days\u2019 activities. The last thing we did in St. Petersburg was to go to a mall near our guesthouse and grab a few snacks on the foodcourt. Foodcourts in foreign countries are the best \u2013 you often find some local treats you\u2019ve never seen before (for example a multilayered pancake-cake) and for a reasonable price.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Then it was time to have a little rest and computer time on our guest house, grab our backs and head to the Moskovskaya train station&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>We liked St. Petersburg the first time we visited and now we liked it even more. It seems that the classically beautiful, decorative facade of the city blends perfectly together with the more alternative street culture. You can find a concert or even a fire show literally behind every corner, or a surprising, hip courtyard behind any gate, and the people seem to have style. But we saw some pretty shocking things too, though, like a dead man lying on the street. No place is perfect.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_1296\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1296\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption
