I don't remember a more disgusting border crossing. We were traveling from Helsinki to St. Petersburg on December 26, 2024 via Narva. A lot of people, they launch 20 people per hour. Each suitcase is checked manually, Estonians, as usual, are in no hurry. The terribly boorish attitude of the Estonian border guards, they treat both Russians, Finns and Italians like animals. As a result, everything was closed at night, and we stayed in Narva all night. Disgusting. I'll never go here again. You'd better fly by plane.

If possible, choose a different route from the EU to the Russian Federation. Long queues, full inspection of suitcases and bags at the border. Beware of scammers who sell queue seats on a banned network. You will lose both money and time.

The car passage was closed. The pedestrian crossing is a live queue for many hours. The carriers say "an average of an hour and a half", but in fact the queue has advanced by 20% in an hour and a half. There are no grocery stores nearby. That's how people stand for several hours in different weather conditions on the street without water or food.. someone with children..
