Traveling with a small child is always exciting and wonderful. But if you decide to go to conquer the cultural capital of Russia with a baby under one year old, it is important to take into account all the nuances and carefully prepare to make the trip comfortable and memorable for the whole family.
1. Location: give preference to hotels in central areas, close to main attractions. This way you can alternate walks with relaxing in your room, without wasting time on long journeys with your baby.
2. Availability of children's infrastructure: the ideal option is a hotel with a children's room, playground, swimming pool with a children's area, and a special menu in the restaurant. This way you will have the opportunity to diversify your baby’s leisure time and make time for yourself.
3. Services for babies: when booking a hotel in St. Petersburg, check if they provide a crib, bathtub, high chair, or baby monitor - this will make packing much easier for you and will allow you not to take too many things with you.
4. Cleanliness and safety: read reviews about the cleanliness of the hotel, check for security windows and other child safety measures in the rooms.
1. Inform about the age of the child: When booking a room, be sure to indicate the age of the child so that the hotel can provide you with appropriate amenities.
2. Choose a room with extra space: you will need space to place a stroller, crib, toys and other things your baby needs.
3. Check the availability of a full kitchen or kitchenette: if you plan to cook for your child yourself, having a kitchen will be a big plus.
4. Book a transfer from the airport/train station: this will save you effort and time upon arrival in the city, especially if you are traveling with a lot of luggage.
1. First aid kit: create a travel first aid kit taking into account the baby’s possible health problems - antipyretics, stomach upset medications, antihistamines, plaster, antiseptic.
2. Hygiene: diapers, wet wipes, diaper cream, powder, bathing products - everything that your baby is used to.
3. Nutrition: if the baby is breastfed, take a sling or ergo-backpack with you for comfortable feeding while walking. If your baby is bottle-fed or has already switched to complementary feeding, stock up on his usual formulas, cereals, and purees in sufficient quantities.
4. Clothes and shoes: choose clothes taking into account possible weather changes in St. Petersburg. Don't forget a hat, waterproof jacket and comfortable shoes.
5. Entertainment: take with you several favorite toys, books, a tablet with cartoons - anything that will help distract your baby during long walks or moves.
A trip to St. Petersburg with a baby is an exciting adventure that will forever remain in your memory. Good preparation, a positive attitude and booking the Teatralnaya Ploshchad hotel in St. Petersburg are the key to a comfortable and unforgettable trip for the whole family!
