HI, im visiting a friend in august in Tallin, Estonia and im looking to go to Russia for either a day or over night trip. Itll be me and one other person.

Where do you think would be the best place to travel to? Bearing in mind we have set a limit for £50 on travel

You cannot enter Russia without a Russian visa.

The cost of the visa alone will exceed your £50 limit.

Note, that currently there's not so many ways to get to Russia from Estonia - the number of trains is strongly decresed, a bus is not very convenient.
I've heard of a helicopter route to Helsinki which is fast and cheap and from Helsinki you can go to St.-Petersburg with a number of ways. THe whole trip will be quite cheap and very intersting.

For the details on the visa visit the neighbour forum.

Currently there are no trains between the 2 cities - but 5-6 daily buses run by the Eurolines
