St. Petersburg's latitude is level with Alaska giving it long nights with a sparkling magic all their own. Winter in St. Petersburg begins in late November and ends generally in March. Temperatures rarely rise above freezing. To enjoy the mysterious and magical winter in Russia's Northern capital, you'll want to dress warmly. Warm leather and fur coats are very fashionable in St. Petersburg, but sports and skiwear are also becoming more popular. You'll also want to bring along a hat or ear muffs and mittens or gloves to keep you warm as you are strolling down fashionable Nevsky Prospekt on a Saturday afternoon or cross country skiing in the picturesque and magical suburban parks. Footwear is very important in winter. Don't forget to bring along a warm pair of waterproof boots. Warm, dry and comfortable feet will make your trip here much more pleasurable.
