I need your thoughts on Kiev, Ukraine and St.Petersburg, Russia please
 

Hi All,
Im thinking of going to Kiev/Kyiv, Ukraine or St. Petersburg, Russia with a group of friends in the spring time and wanted to get some feedback and thoughts from anyone here who has been. Id be mainly going to party and hit the night life scene. I know there's hookers there and all that, but is it a good place to just pick up non hooker girls at the clubs without speaking the native language? Is it safe? What are do's and don'ts for these cities? Any feedback would be appreciated. We are not set on either city so any other cities you can recommend would be welcomed. I've been to Prague, Budapest, Hong Kong, Macau, Ibiza, Rio de Janeiro, Vegas, etc....So I've been wanting to hit a Russian or former Soviet country next. All feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Need a car sitter while you are away?

LOL! My other friends that will be here will have dibs on them, but I'll see if I can work you to the top of that list :1orglaugh

why would she bother talking to you at the club if you won't understand her?
The women who speak English probably have better things to do than hang out at the clubs :)

People can travel all over the world. St. Petersburg has beautiful buildings and constructions.

you will pick up plenty of girls...especially if you have a translator with you

might want some security or leave your big watches at home :)

i've been to both. my fav was Kiev out of the Ukraine. i'd also recommend considering Prague, as it's pretty close by - it would be my favorite place in eastern Europe. language was never all that much of an issue. never had any issues with safety, but yeah, i would dress down a bit.

you would love it, been to ukraine 2x in the past 4 years, kiev both times as well, amazing place, amazing natural food, no preservatives, soda is rare on menus, lots of juices

beautiful girls there, one thing you notice right away, great skin complexion, great eyes and lips, nice legs and somehow the ratio is 10 girls to every 7 guys

but take a guide or go with somebody that familiar with the area/people/has close friends in high places, there is a certain roughness

beautiful place

lot tougher than it sounds, in my experience...unless after privet you go straight to making out ;)

I think the nightlife is probably better in Russia, but if you want to see beauty go to the Ukraine. If I was going to vacation in the East I would hit Yalta.

Your $$ will probably go further in Ukraine as well. :2 cents:

Whatever you do don't listen to corvette
he rolls with clubs chicks where the ratio of gold diggers is 18:7

J/K :1orglaugh

why?

yes you don't want to be embarrassed when they pale in comparison to the Russian bling in Moscow

usd goes a long way in ukraine, I had taxi driving me 1-2 hours for $10 ;o hot broads everywhere there too (i wish I didn't have gf lol), but it's still far from a safe city... you don't want to be somewhere outside main areas speaking english and changing usd dollars

im russian and i strongly suggest you find someone to guide you:thumbsup
i would also go to kiev if i were you:)

Thanks everyone! Good news is I only own 1 watch my best friend gave to me on my bday several years ago so no issues there. As for the USD and being flashy, Im from Detroit so I know how that all works. Tone it down and don't do anything too flashy to attract the wrong attention, but just enough flash to attract the hot chicks who like Americans with cash :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh. From the sounds of it though it looks like Kiev which was my first choice is the best choice. Keep em coming if you have more thoughts!

Be sure to visit the Kuntz-Kamera of St. Petersburg in your lifetime. It is interesting.

:1orglaugh sounds like you'll be alright and will be staying somewhere super nice and not on a budget so it's all good

Anyone got any hotel recommendations? I prefer chic W style hotels. Modern with a cool, vibrant and chic style. Any hotels there like that? Also is there a certain area I want to stay in? Im sure its central, but is there an actual district or area name of where'd I probably wanna stay to be close to the action and quick access to shopping, good food, etc...

Sounds perfect actually LOL...Im not going there to get married :pimp

Kiev was one of the most expensive cities I have ever been to as far as nightlife was concerned but it was a great time.

The hyatt kiev, one of the nicest hotels in the world. Place is crazy. Walking distance to alot of sights and nightlife.

catch you on the south side of Tverskaya Street.

This thread desperately needs pics.

WOW really? I would have thought it would be much cheaper. Im used to USA prices and even worse Las Vegas prices so surely it can't be close to that. I hope Im wrong. Please elaborate. What would it cost to get a table at a hot spot nightclub and a couple liter/bottles of top shelf vodka such as Grey Goose or whatever is their top line vodka. In the US that's about 500 USD plus tip. In Vegas that's about 1000 USD plus tip, plus another tip to the VIP host to walk you to the table then of course a table premium tip if you want a good table not in the bathroom :helpme:helpme

This looks perfect! Thanks :thumbsup

Is Chris Mallick going with you?

Not sure just yet, but he will definitely get the invite as he's one of my best friends.

bros before hoes! :thumbsup


have fun on your trip, tell chris gfy said hi.

may-june is the best time to visit Kiev, early spring may be on a cold side

nice restaurant with live jazz on weekend evenings - Deja Vu, near the Big Theater
Korona - very cool cafe.
Golden Cup - good billiard tables, many other places have good tables too
nightlife scene changes every couple of years like in rest of big cities, don't know whats hottest and the best lately.
