Any suggestions on St Petersburg ... things to see Tweet

Getting Around St Perersburg

Air: International airport in St. Petersburg Russia is called Pulkovo 2 . 17 km on the south of the city.

Transfers to hotels: We would suggest you arrange these via the hotel or on the internet prior to departure.

Cruises: These dock a little out of town and without a visa one can not leave the ship or port. Some smaller ships dock closer to town.

If one has a visa and visits downtown at night, take care, as I understand a bridge between the town and port is closed at certain times of the night.
