Free Museums and a Sunset Picnic Date
Spend a wonderful day out with your partner visiting free museums in Saint Petersburg and cap it off with a romantic sunset picnic by the Neva River. No need to spend a penny and yet experience the depth of culture, beauty, and romance this magnificent city offers.
- The day begins with a visit to two of Saint Petersburg's esteemed museums, the 'Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines' and 'Saint Petersburg State Museum of Urban Sculpture'. Wander the exhibits and experience nostalgia and artistry. Take turns in playing old school arcade games and guessing the meaning behind the sculptures.
- After a day of art and culture, prepare together a picnic basket filled with your favourite snacks and refreshments that you already have at home. Some homemade sandwiches, fruits, and chocolates would work great for a romantic snack.
- With your ready picnic basket, head towards the banks of the Neva River just before sunset. Choose a quiet spot, lay out a blanket, and set up a spread. Enjoying food while watching the sun set over the city under the fading September twilight would be a perfect way to conclude your free yet romantic date.
Preparation steps:
- Firstly, check the opening hours for the museums and plan your visit accordingly. While these visits are free, some museums may require booking in advance due to the popularity. So make sure to secure your visit.
- Prepare your picnic basket at home with foods and drinks that both of you will enjoy. Remember to bring a blanket, some disposable plates, glasses and tissues.
- Wear comfortable clothes and shoes as you will be doing quite a bit of walking. Pack your stuff appropriately to make sure your date goes smoothly.

Some tips:
- Be sure to check the weather forecast before planning your picnic. Even though the weather is generally good in September, it is always better to check for any surprise showers.
- The museums could be quite intriguing, if you or your partner have particular interest in history or art, do not rush. Invest time to enjoy the exhibits.
- Although it's a free date, make it special by adding small details like your partner's favourite snack in the picnic basket or a dessert they love for the sweet ending.
