Meet people in Saint Petersburg
Saint Petersburg is a city of embankments, canals and long cultural walks. A good plan links two nearby places rather than trying to fit the Hermitage, Nevsky Prospekt and several islands into one first meeting.

A first plan that fits the city
Meet in a busy, easy-to-reach spot near Nevsky Prospekt or the Admiralty, then walk a short stretch by the canals. Keep an indoor option in mind for changing weather, and check bridge or transit arrangements if your plan runs late.
