What are good and bad neighbourhoods in St Petersburg Russia?

Question by Stercus Tauri: Good and Bad Neighbourhoods in Saint Petersburg?
Can someone provide a written guide or map, showing the good and bad areas of Saint Petersburg, Russia? I want to travel there, but I am wary of the crime.

Answer by Ivana

Saint Petersburg is very good city, some small bad area. Much renovation work making some area not accessing. Much is the same, all safe and not bad. Must keep track of times for bridges, if wrong side of river at close, can be stuck. Maybe take care with taxi driver, some not trusting.

  1. K2010 says

    Vyborg district accounts for over 20% of crime
    It is called oasis for troubles
    Nevsky prospect, which is a center of SP is one the highest criminal area as it is one of the tourist attraction, pick-pocketing for money, cell phones.
    Area near Moscow Terminal is dangerous also.
    Shkapin and Rosenshtein Streets near Baltic terminal are dangerous

    Off note: every city in the world has bad neighborhoods. You just have to use common sense. don’t flash your money, ipod, iPhone, jewelry.
