Good news for Brits who like travelling!
A British passport is the most useful in the world - officially! There are 166 countries that Brits can travel to without a visa. We just beat the Danes, and overtook the Americans who were top of the pops before.
DH & I had considered going on holiday to The Gambia but although Brits don't need visas, Americans do. So despite the Gambian Consulate being only up the road from my work, we decided the expense was too much. We ended up booking for Tunisia (flights only £27 each with my BA Avios points!). And funnily enough, Brits can go to Tunisia for 3 months without a visa but Americans can have 4 months. How do they decide these things lol.

More importantly, which country is it that only allows you to visit for three days?

Some places do allow quite a short time period. We went to the Caymans a few years ago. They only allow 30 days.

Re: Good news for Brits who like travelling!
Yes lol, I wondered about that. I don't think 3 days is long enough. We usually go for short breaks of 3 nights which is technically 4 days so 3 wouldn't be long enough.

Also:
"In accordance to the legislation of Russian Federation (RF Government Resolution №397), foreign tourists and persons without citizenship travelling on ferries may arrive to the port of St. Petersburg without Russian visa and stay in Russia not more than 72 h.
