Some tips:
- In order to pull off the surprise factor of this trip, you'll need to ensure that your partner has the day (or weekend) free. It might be wise to suggest they keep these days open for 'an event' without giving too much away.
- Try to learn a few key phrases in Russian if you're not familiar with the language. This could go a long way in helping you navigate the city and interact with locals. Additionally, be respectful of the historical sites you visit. These places are often fragile and loaded with cultural significance.
- Since you're visiting historical sites, keep in mind that some may have entrance fees. It's a good idea to research these costs ahead of time and factor them into your budget. Finally, always ensure that you take care of your belongings, especially in crowded areas.
