St. Petersburg, Russia

"Expats and digital nomads living in St. Petersburg, often like the city's rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant cultural scene. They appreciate the relatively low cost of living, efficient public transportation system, and the abundance of parks and green spaces. The city's thriving expat community and numerous language schools make it easier for newcomers to adapt and make friends. On the other hand, expats and digital nomads may dislike the harsh winters, with freezing temperatures and short daylight hours. The language barrier can be challenging, as not everyone speaks English, and the Cyrillic alphabet can be difficult to learn. Bureaucracy and red tape can make dealing with visas and other official matters frustrating. Additionally, some expats may find the local cuisine lacking in variety and the service in restaurants and shops to be less than attentive. Finally, the city's air quality and pollution levels can be a concern for some residents," explained one expat living in St. Petersburg.
