Getting to the hotels from your point of arrival

St. Petersburg’s transport infrastructure is highly developed. The city has a public transport network and a large number of private vehicles and taxis.

Metro

The metro is the most popular and fastest mode of public transport.

A single journey costs RUB 60, regardless of the journey length or number of transfers between lines.

In order to pay for your journey at the metro ticket offices you must purchase a token for a single trip or a reusable travel document, which varies in price depending on the period of validity and number of journeys.
