Autumn in St. Petersburg runs roughly from the beginning of September to mid to late November. The spectacular colors alone make it worth the visit to the Northern capital! Moreover, there are much shorter lines at tourist sights. Majestic Letny Sad (summer gardens) and the fabulous and picturesque suburban parks and palaces call to guests with their added color and freshness that only comes in the early and mid autumn days.
If you are planning a trip to St. Petersburg in autumn take care to bring a variety of clothing. Early autumn days, which include Indian summer, are warm and sunny for the most part. So you'll want to bring along a short sleeve shirt or two and a pair of stylish light cotton pants. Nevertheless, don't forget an umbrella or a raincoat because, as the natives know, rain is never far off in this capricious climate. Traditional autumn footwear is also in order. Generally, the later you come to St. Petersburg in autumn the cooler the temperatures, so plan accordingly. And don't forget that heavier jacket or coat and scarf to keep you warm and comfortable from the fresh and invigorating Northwestern winds as your enjoying your river boat trip along the wide Neva River and picturesque city canals and rivers!
