    Thinking of going to Helsinki and either going to St Petersburg or Moscow for a few days on the train

    St Petersburg is suppose to be more scenic but I have always wanted to see Moscow

    What is Helsinki like ? Found below sites

    http://www.helsinkiexpert.fi

    and also

    http://www.visithelsinki.fi

    However looking for anyone who has been there and things to do places to stay and eat etc

    Also it seems to be harder to get into Russia than get out

    Contacted the embassy and was told the price of a visa is €100 for a one day turnaround, €80 for a five day and €60 for a ten day. I also need an invitation from the hotel we are staying in forget about letter to Brezhnev maybe a letter to Putin

    Helsinki expert do organised tours and think this is the safer bet rather than trying to do it myself or is it ?

    Anyone any experiences of any of these cities

    Thanks

    I went to Russia for 2 weeks and it was a hassle getting letters off all the individual hotels. I'd say go with the tour guide in Finland , if you like it you can always go back.

    St. Petersburgh has the museums but I much perfered Moscow while my friend was the other way around.
