If you are the kind of person who isn't too shy to make an effort to be understood, you will enjoy yourself. Not sure if that makes any sense. It never felt dangerous at all. But if you don't communicate, you won't learn anything.
Also, we visited during the White Nights, so it was daytime all the time. It was almost always cloudy, so the city seemed to be in a constant dusk, which was perfect for the atmosphere. People were out on the streets all day and night. It was 11 pm and you had the sun in your face.
