McCarry One Nil Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Tremendous! Totally shocked at how nice a place it was. I'd recommend it to anyone for a city break kinda thing. .Cheap everything. Decent locals. Loved it. MySpazz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MySpazz Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Tremendous! Totally shocked at how nice a place it was. I'd recommend it to anyone for a city break kinda thing. .Cheap everything. Decent locals. Loved it. Go along with that. I'd say either mid summer or depth of winter. Wouldn't fancy it in the spring or autumn. Buildings, bars, cafes, airport (so close to town) etc etc - highly recommended. One tip though...... be careful at the KGB museum, the cells and torture chambers are horrific - they've got the saints game on repeat Coltrane and McCarry One Nil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the locals were tolerant, but serious and straight (as to be expected where anyone over 40 lived in USSR times). Easy to forget how liberal the UK is.

babychunder Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Everyone was great, everywhere we went. Met with a smile, nothing was too much trouble. I felt very welcome there. Even the beggars were polite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
