Tips for Personal Safety


Renting Apartments (for hotels, see Practical Traveler)

— Find an apartment or homestay through a reputable real estate agency or bed & breakfast venture, through trusted friends or through classifieds in the local English language newspapers, NOT through classifieds in the Russian press or posted in public places.

— Make sure your apartment has a metal door. Avoid ground floor apartments without extra protection such as burglar alarms or barred windows.
