Will I need a Visa?
Hi, i tried looking for answer, but became more confused.
We are both US citizens, and are traveling to Helsinki on Sept. I thought of taking the train, or flying into St. Petersburgh for a one day trip, arriving Saturday AM, returning same day back to Helsinki. Do we need a Visa? We are only staying in Rusia for less than 12hrs on Saturday.

If you fly or take the train (www.vr.fi) you need a visa even for that short of a stay. You may be able to take a boat cruise (www.stpeterline.ru) and enter without the visa. It's not a ferry, but rather a 15-ish hour cruise. There is another trip advising site that has forums with experts on the cruise topic. DM me if you have questions.
