Moving Saint Petersburg | Emigrating to Saint Petersburg
Moving Saint Petersburg: Saint Petersburg is a port city in north-western Russia and is the second largest city in the country after the capital Moscow, 640km away. It is a city known the world over for its history, culture and famous landmarks. The city was actually founded as Petrograd in 1703 by Peter the Great and later changed its name to Leningrad and then later as Saint Petersburg.
The fourth biggest city in Europe has seen a surge in expats moving to the city in recent years due to the low-cost of living, cultural attractions and employment opportunities. The city is well-known for its stunning architecture, world-class museums and tree-lined streets. Some of the main attractions include the Peter and Paul Fortress, The Hermitage Museum and The Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood.

Life in Saint Petersburg for expats
Saint Petersburg has a population of over 5 million and is a popular Russian destination for expats. Expats can generally enjoy a quality standard of living in the city on a relatively low budget. The average price of a furnished one-bed apartment is only around $500 a month. Therefore, most expats tend to have enough budget to enjoy the cultural attractions of the city such as the UNESCO historic centre with over 8000 landmarks and the more than 200 parks and gardens throughout the city.
For expat families there is the International Academy of St. Petersburg for an international education and six hospitals, one of which is the largest in the country. The expat community is well-connected and are more than open to answering any questions of people looking to move to the city.
