Moreover, May 27th, the day before our conference opens, is City Day, featuring the largest night-time carnival in recent Russian history. As a result, hotel prices rose and the majority of venues were booked by large tourist companies. It is located on the bank of the Neva river, four metro stops from the city center. All excursions will also be by boat. But it is our hope that this choice of transportation will make participation in our conference an especially pleasant experience.
Every room has a TV, phone and refrigerator.
A buffet breakfast will be available and will cost USD 2-3, not more. Rubles are the only legal tender in Russia. Lunch in the city and in Petrodvorets, for those who attend the excursion, will cost about USD 10. There are many small cafes and restaurants in the area around the Institute. The taxi, which can take a maximum of three passengers with luggage, will cost USD 20 for the car.
