Novgorod Practicalities

Tourist Information - Red Izba

Novgorod has a very good tourist information center called “Red Izba”, which offers free advice, Wi-Fi (inside and outside in the park around the center), and even emergency services for tourists.

Getting Around - Novgorod Taxi 

Calling a taxi doesn’t really make sense as you can wave your hand and hail any car to give you a lift for money, like anywhere in Russia. A trip should cost about 100-200R (€3-6 max). In case you want to order a cab, find someone who speaks Russian and have them call +7 (8162) 600 000 

Coworking

Novgorod If you’re interested to go to Novgorod to work in a calm atmosphere, your best bet is to do it in one of the restaurants with Wi-Fi or at the hotel. However, there is also a coworking space available for €70 per month located on Bolshaya Sankt- Peterburgskaya st., 39 building 9 (cafe Volna, next to Novgorod University).

Studying & Teaching / Novgorod University

Novgorod also has a university, which hosts internship programs and has many international students. You might want to check it out if you want a reason to stay in Novgorod for a longer time or just to meet people. It’s located on Bolshaya Sankt Peterburgskaya st, 41, more info (in English) 

Health & Emergency / Volna Clinic
