I think the exact day is June 22, the longest day of the year. As far as I remember it is possible to see white nights already in the end of May and till July.

Unfortunately I'll not be able to visit Russia exactly at solstice... So will I see the phenomenon during Whitsun (around 30th of May) or in Mid-July?

Btw: Is it worth to visit St. Petersburg during this period or is usually another season more recommendable (besides the White nights).

I was there in the end of May and i remember that it was bright in the evenings already... I hope my memories are ok :-))

not sure I would come to StP in whitenights. for me the city is crowded a bit. the second I can't sleep at night because in nights it is day light and blinds on windows don't work good usually.

so if you want to see whitenights, then go. but from May till beginning of September it is quite warm weather and you may see all other attractions such as Peterhof or swing bridges :-)

You can observe white nights from the middle of May to August. The best time is from the beginning of June to the middle of July.

Hi,
other season as Fall is very beautiful in St. Petersburg. You can see all colors of nature there. Especially in the parks as Krestovsky and by the Finland gulf. It is our favourite spots.
