Vyborg district

This is one of the largest districts of the city, the territory size is 115.4 km², the population is almost 500,000 people. The area is located on the right bank of the Neva, in the central part of the city. Divided into two parts - residential and industrial. The environmental situation leaves much to be desired - there are a lot of emissions from different enterprises. But the authorities are trying to compensate for the pollution - they are organizing green areas, public gardens, and parks.

The area is relatively young, there are no problems with infrastructure - there are many shops, shopping centers, schools, kindergartens, hospitals.

Modern business centers and office buildings have been built.

Transport accessibility is provided by 6 metro stations and highways. Lots of public transport stops.

The real estate is represented by old houses, Khrushchev-era buildings in the center and elite residential areas, new buildings in the outlying areas.

Admiralteysky district

This is the historical center of the city, located on the left bank of the Neva. About 160,000 people live on an area of ​​13.82 km². This is the smallest district of St. Petersburg and one of the most popular among tourists. Many attractions of St. Petersburg are located here:

• Saint Isaac's Cathedral.
• Bronze Horseman.
• Yusupov Palace.
• Opera and Ballet Theatre.

The main buildings are buildings of the 18th century. Apartments here are expensive, especially those located near the water.

Top view of the Admiralteysky district

However, St. Petersburg residents themselves do not want to live in the Admiralteysky district. There are problems with infrastructure here - there is no space for the construction of large stores, shopping centers, hypermarkets, so you have to go to neighboring districts for shopping.

In addition, most of the residential buildings are dilapidated or in disrepair.

There are few trees here, but there are a lot of cars and public transport, and the air is polluted.

It’s difficult to leave here - there are constant traffic jams. Despite the fact that there are 9 metro stations open in the Admiralteysky district, this is not enough. The subway cars are filled to capacity, creating a crush during rush hour.

Day three

Peterhof - joyful mood

Photo: Vasilisa Tarunova
Today, the unique museum-reserve, which is called the capital of fountains, includes 150 water bodies, several palaces and other buildings. This is a real engineering miracle of the 18th century. In an ideal park with golden palace towers, wide alleys and neatly trimmed trees, even the Gulf of Finland does not look so harsh.

Music for a walk : Antonio Vivaldi.

Time to explore without the palace: at least 3 hours.

Ticket price: to the park - 400 rubles for Russian citizens*. Palaces - additionally.

How to get from St. Petersburg: from the Baltic station by train to the New Peterhof station (about 45 minutes), then by buses 344, 348, 350, 351, 352, 355, 356 (10-15 minutes). From the Avtovo metro station by minibuses 224, 300, 404, 424/424A (about 1 hour). A hydrofoil motor ship will take you to Peterhof from the Senate Pier pier in just 30 minutes.

The journey by car to Peterhof will take an hour.

Vasileostrovsky district

Another central area of ​​St. Petersburg beloved by tourists. It is located on three islands, the total area of ​​which is 21 km². The population is about 200,000 people. Vacationers stay here for the attractions and proximity to the center - you can walk to Nevsky Prospekt.

But the locals don’t like to live here - there are many problems with transport. The islands are connected to the rest of the city by four bridges. Until 2016, during the construction of bridges from the Vasileostrovsky district, it was impossible to go anywhere by land transport. But after the opening of the WHSD section, the situation was resolved, and there were fewer traffic jams.

There are also metro stations built here, but their capacity is not enough; there are always a lot of people in the metro.

But real estate is still expensive. The area is built up with old housing stock, new panel buildings, and elite residential areas.

Vasileostrovsky district is located on three islands

THIS IS INTERESTING. Vasileostrovsky district is one of the oldest in St. Petersburg, it was founded in 1917.

Road transport

The following federal highways pass through St. Petersburg:

• M10 "Russia" to Moscow via Veliky Novgorod and Tver.
• P21 "Kola" to the village of Borisoglebsky, bordering Norway, passing through Petrozavodsk, Murmansk and Pechenga.
• P23 (formerly M20) “Pskov” to the city of Nevel, bordering Belarus, via Pskov and Pustoshka.
• A120 (St. Petersburg southern half-ring, popularly “Betonka”) to Kirovsk, MGU, Gatchina and Bolshaya Izhora.
• A121 “Sortavala” to Sortavala, then adjacent to the P21 “Kola” highway.
• A180 “Narva” to Ivangorod and further to the border with Estonia.
• A181 “Scandinavia” to Vyborg and further to the border with Finland.
• A118 (“KAD”) is a ring road around St. Petersburg.

Kalininsky district

It is located in the north of St. Petersburg and covers an area of ​​40.12 km². About 500,000 inhabitants live here.

The area has a well-developed public transport network, many stops, and several metro stations. Hospitals, kindergartens and schools, a dozen institutes and universities were built.

The area itself is considered industrial; there are factories and other enterprises here. But they are mostly located in the southern part of the district, the northern territories are occupied by public gardens, parks and forests.

A large number of crimes are recorded in the Kalininsky district, so it is better to be careful here at night.

Active development of the territory is underway, with new residential areas being built every year. Real estate prices depend on the location of the house - the closer to the north, the more expensive.

Enterprises and organizations of St. Petersburg. Economy of the city

The largest shipyards in the world operate in St. Petersburg - Severnaya, Admiralty, Baltic Shipyard, where ships for military and civilian purposes are built. The main industries are represented by:

• — machine tool building;
• — production of electrical appliances and electronics;
• — manufacturing of optics;
• — instrument making.

There are many light and chemical industry enterprises, printing houses, and several breweries that produce a fifth of the beer of the total volume of the drink produced in Russia. There are factories here that supply the entire country with their products, for example, Elektrosila, St. Petersburg Tram-Mechanical Plant, and Krasny Vyborgets, where non-ferrous metals are processed.

Kirovsky district

Over 300,000 people live here on an area of ​​48 km². The area has a favorable location in the north-west of St. Petersburg - on the shores of the Gulf of Finland. However, the entire shore is occupied by industrial enterprises, so you won’t be able to live with a view of the water. There is a poor environmental situation here, heavy gas pollution, dirty water. The area is one of the dirtiest areas in the city.

Transport accessibility is not satisfactory:

• 5 metro stations;
• Railway;
• several wide highways.

The housing stock is heterogeneous - there are both old dilapidated houses and modern buildings. Apartments in the Kirovsky district are cheaper than in neighboring districts, since it is considered an industrial zone.

The infrastructure is developed. There are many shops, canteens and cafes, dozens of educational institutions, including several private schools.

Tourists rarely come here, but there are a couple of interesting monuments and memorials. For example, the Narva Triumphal Gate.

The main attraction of the Kirov region is the Narva Triumphal Gate

Large cities 100-250 thousand people

Coat of arms of Kolpino

Kolpino

Population 144,288 people (2016).

Founded in 1722 next to the dam and sawmill built here in 1710, the city has been around since 1912. For three centuries it has been a major center of heavy engineering. The main enterprise of the city is the Izhora Plant, in the 18th-19th centuries. which produced materials and components for shipbuilding, and now produces equipment for petrochemicals and nuclear energy (including nuclear reactor vessels), metallurgical semi-finished products from steels with special properties, bridge and road metal structures.

Coat of arms of Pushkin

Pushkin

Population 102,729 people (2016).

Founded in 1710, city since 1808. Until 1918 - Tsarskoe Selo, from 1918 to 1937 - Detskoe Selo. One of the most famous imperial residences in the suburbs of St. Petersburg. The city is home to the famous Tsarskoye Selo palace and park ensemble, including the grandiose Catherine Palace and the Lyceum, where Alexander Pushkin studied. Nowadays it is a scientific, educational and tourist center.

Kolpinsky district

This is one of the largest districts of St. Petersburg. Its area is 105.8 km². However, less than 200,000 people live in such a large area. This is a suburb of St. Petersburg. There are no metro stations and the public transport network is poorly developed. Despite the fact that the M-10 federal highway passes through the area, traffic jams are almost constant here.

The environment is bad. This is an industrial zone where there are about 30 large enterprises. At first, houses in the Kolpino region were built for factory employees. Then little-known construction companies came here, some of which turned out to be scammers. But recently, modern new buildings have begun to appear in the area, and apartments are actively being sold. Real estate is cheap. St. Petersburg residents do not want to move here, although the social infrastructure here is quite well developed.

Economy and industry

A map of St. Petersburg with houses will help you find the address of any company. There are more than 700 large organizations in the city. And the number of small enterprises has exceeded 20 thousand. The main industries include oil refining, engineering and food industries.

A map of St. Petersburg with house numbers will help you find enterprises such as the Shipbuilding Plant, Severstal, Vagonmash, Baltika and other large enterprises.

There are also many construction organizations and media companies in the city.

Travel companies play an important role. The city is endowed with a unique cultural and historical heritage, which contributes to the transformation of tourism into one of the main industries.

Krasnogvardeisky district

Located in the north-west of the city on the right bank of the Neva. Its area is 56.83 km², the number of inhabitants is about 350,000 people. This is another industrial outlying area of ​​St. Petersburg with poor ecology. There are about 50 industrial enterprises on its territory.

There are problems with public transport; getting to the city center during rush hour is problematic, despite the fact that two metro stations have been built here, and there are trolleybuses and trams.

The infrastructure is developed - many schools and technical colleges, shops, shopping centers. Museums, theaters, and libraries are open. There are few trees, there are practically no squares and parks - only the Rzhevsky Forest Park. But it is unkempt, and walking there in the evening can be dangerous.

Real estate is cheap. The housing stock is mainly represented by Stalinist and Khrushchev buildings, although new houses are still being built.

THIS IS INTERESTING. The first street art museum was opened in the Krasnogvardeisky district. It is located in an existing industrial enterprise.

Krasnoselsky district

This residential area of ​​St. Petersburg is considered the most environmentally friendly place in the city. There are practically no enterprises here, but there are many parks, squares, and forests. The territory is significant - 115 km². A little more than 400,000 St. Petersburg residents live here. A significant part of the area is occupied by settlements and the private sector, with many cottages.

The infrastructure is well developed - there are shops, medical facilities, kindergartens and schools.

Real estate is inexpensive, houses are mostly budget, but not always of high quality. However, active development of high-rise business-class buildings is underway. The transport problem is acute - there is not a single metro station here, and there is not enough public ground transport for all residents, and traffic jams often occur. It takes more than an hour to drive to the city center. By 2023, it is planned to open the Yugo-Zapadnaya metro station, which should improve the situation.

The most environmentally friendly district of St. Petersburg is Krasnoselsky

Bus stations in St. Petersburg

There are two bus stations and one large bus station “Parnas” in St. Petersburg. The bus station on the Obvodny Canal embankment, 36 is the main bus hub of the city.

Resort area

It occupies a significant area of ​​the coast of the Gulf of Finland - 267 km². However, slightly less than 80,000 St. Petersburg residents live here.

The point is expensive real estate - you can compare the Kurortny district with Moscow Rublyovka. This is a suburb of St. Petersburg with elite cottages. But there is also construction of multi-storey buildings with cheaper apartments.

The infrastructure is at a high level - there are shopping centers, shops, cafes and restaurants, gyms and beauty salons. There are many sanatoriums and health centers. There are good, well-maintained beaches.

The area is very green; 80% of all forest parks in St. Petersburg are located on its territory. This is an ecologically clean place with pine trees.

One of the beaches in the Kurortny district

There is no metro here, but the transport links are good and you can get to the city center without any difficulties. A railway has been laid and high-speed trains are running.

All streets of St. Petersburg - on the map

There are 3,548 streets in St. Petersburg, any of them can be found on the map of St. Petersburg with streets. Nevsky Prospekt is considered the main thoroughfare; it stretches from the Admiralty to the Alexander Nevsky Lavra between two drawbridges - the Palace and Alexander Nevsky, the length of the avenue is 4.5 km. The central avenues of the city are Ligovsky, Liteiny, Voznesensky, Vladimirsky, Suvorovsky, Admiralteysky and Grechesky. The oldest streets of the city, beloved by tourists from all over the world:

St. Petersburg is located at the intersection of 11 highways used for transit cargo transportation. The 142.15 km long Ring Road of federal importance runs through the city. The Ring Road connects all the main highways leaving the city - these are directions to Moscow, Murmansk, Tallinn, Kyiv and Helsinki.

Moskovsky district

It is located in the south of St. Petersburg, covering an area of ​​73.05 km. About 350,000 people live here.

The area is green, quiet, quite cozy. Considered prestigious. The housing here is different - expensive elite high-rise buildings, Stalin buildings, Khrushchev buildings, and ordinary new buildings.

Moskovsky district is located near the center of St. Petersburg

The infrastructure is good - shopping centers, concert and exhibition halls, hospitals and clinics, shops. However, due to the active construction of residential buildings and population growth, there is a shortage of kindergartens and schools. But the problem is being solved, new institutions are being built. There are 6 metro stations open, public ground transport runs well.

Industry is also developed here, so in some parts of the region there is an unfavorable environmental situation.

Airport in St. Petersburg

The main airport of St. Petersburg is Pulkovo Airport. It is located within the city, 15 kilometers from the center, mostly in the Moskovsky district (one of the runways overlooks the territory of the Lomonosovsky district, a municipal entity outside St. Petersburg).

Pulkovo is the fourth (after three Moscow) airport in the country in terms of passenger traffic (more than 18 million people were transported in 2022). A large number of airlines serve here, about half of which are foreign. The flight geography of St. Petersburg airport is very extensive, covering almost all regions of the Russian Federation, EU and CIS countries, Asian and Middle Eastern countries. The top 10 most popular routes include Moscow, Sochi, Simferopol, Yekaterinburg, Antalya, Kaliningrad, Arkhangelsk, Frankfurt am Main, Paris and Rostov-on-Don.

Nevsky district

Its area is 61.79 km² and over 500,000 people live here. It is located on two banks of the Neva, the buildings are very dense. There are practically no places to build new houses. The housing stock is mainly represented by old houses from the Soviet period. But the government plans to demolish emergency and dilapidated housing to build modern buildings.

Now several new residential areas have been built on the left bank of the Neva overlooking the water and the River Station. Real estate prices here are very high, and the area is considered a prestigious place to live.

There are many shopping facilities, cinemas, restaurants, well-developed social infrastructure - there are sufficient medical and educational institutions.

But there are problems with transport, despite 6 metro stations. The area is connected to the center of St. Petersburg by three drawbridges. Their capacity cannot cope with the large number of cars and public transport, and traffic jams occur.

Petrogradsky district

It is located on the islands in the Neva delta, its area is 24 km². The population is just under 130,000 people.

It is in this area that the history of St. Petersburg begins - the Petrograd Fortress was founded here. This is the main attraction of the area due to which it is popular among tourists. Many hotels, hotels, and hostels have been built for them.

The area is green, there are many parks and squares. There are prestigious higher education institutions, private gymnasiums and schools, and many kindergartens here. Cafes, restaurants, and canteens are open.

Transport accessibility is not satisfactory; there are 6 metro stations, several drawbridges with wide highways, and public transport is good.

There are problems with real estate - there are few high-quality houses and elite neighborhoods, mostly old dilapidated buildings with communal services. But they are gradually being demolished, building up the territory with modern residential areas, the apartments in which are expensive.

Petrogradsky district is famous for its ancient and unusual buildings

Is it good to live in the suburbs of St. Petersburg?

The suburbs of St. Petersburg are divided into settlements within the city limits and territorial entities belonging to the Leningrad region. The degree of its development usually depends on which federal subject a specific territory is assigned to (the suburbs belonging to St. Petersburg are better provided with infrastructure), as well as the price of real estate. Let's take a closer look at the advantages and disadvantages of living in different suburbs of the city on the Neva.

Attraction zones Large settlements that are part of St. Petersburg and have the status of “suburban” territories include Pushkin, Pavlovsk, Lomonosov, Petrodvorets, Strelna, Sestroretsk, Zelenogorsk, Kolpino and Kronstadt. Popular regional centers include Vsevolozhsk, Gatchina, Devyatkino and Sertolovo. The real estate market is well developed in such regional towns as Tosno and Nikolskoye.

“The most popular among all the suburbs is Pushkin, not only because it is a palace city with a well-developed infrastructure and beautiful parks, but also because it has the best transport connections with St. Petersburg. This is a very prestigious suburb,” said Dmitry Shchegelsky, president of the St. Petersburg Chamber of Real Estate. Apartments in Tsarskoye Selo are in some cases even more expensive than in a number of districts of St. Petersburg (for example, in Krasnoselsky, Kirovsky, Kolpinsky).

“Housing in Pushkin is most often bought by indigenous residents,” continues Dmitry Shchegelsky. – It is believed that Pushkin residents are one of the greatest patriots of their city in Russia, and they move from one apartment to another only within its borders. Pushkin is also in demand among wealthy St. Petersburg residents who want to move from the city center closer to nature. Apartments on the streets adjacent to the Tsarskoe Selo palace and park ensemble are especially popular among such buyers.”

Another suburb of St. Petersburg, in which purchase and sale transactions on the secondary market are quite active, is Kolpino. “Housing here is cheap, and it is bought by people who do not yet have enough money to purchase an apartment in the city, but they do not want to go far into the region,” explains Irina Romanova, director of the country representative office of the Itaka real estate agency.

“Recently, developers have been actively developing the suburbs of St. Petersburg, especially the Vsevolozhsk region,” states Deputy Director of Consulting Olga Trosheva. – That’s why there have been more and more offers there lately. For example, the share of suburban areas (such as Kudrovo, Vsevolozhsk, Devyatkino, etc.) in the total volume of housing sales in the city and surrounding areas increased over the year from 8.8% to 21.6%.”

From the last century The largest number of new houses (built in the last ten years) are concentrated in Vsevolozhsk and Sestroretsk. The surrounding areas of Peterhof are also beginning to develop, although the main emphasis so far is on business-class cottage communities and luxury real estate near the Konstantinovsky Palace.

In addition, a significant volume of economy and comfort class projects under construction is concentrated in the north, northeast and east of the city, in areas such as Parnas, Devyatkino, Murino and Kudrovo.

“The main advantages of housing under construction in the suburbs is the opportunity to purchase a comfort-class apartment at a fairly reasonable price, which is lower than in similar projects within the borders of St. Petersburg,” notes Olga Trosheva. “Many new projects involve comprehensive improvement of the surrounding area, low-rise residential buildings, their own full-fledged infrastructure and other benefits that even residents of some inhabited microdistricts of “central” St. Petersburg may be deprived of.”

Price spread “In the southern direction (for example, in Gatchina), the cost of apartments is almost two times less than in St. Petersburg,” adds Leonid Sandalov, deputy director of the Bekar real estate agency. – In Kirovsk – about 1.5 times lower. In addition to the low cost of housing, buying real estate in the region gives its owners some other advantages. For example, the transport tax is lower there.”

According to the research and analytics department of the Real Estate Bulletin Group of Companies, the cheapest urban area is Kronstadt, where the average cost per square meter at the end of the year was 68 thousand rubles. It is followed by the Kolpinsky district - 71 thousand rubles. per meter and Petrodvortsovy – 74 thousand rubles. per square.

The most expensive are Kurortny and Pushkinsky districts, where a square meter of living space will cost buyers 78 and 81 thousand rubles. respectively. However, this is also cheaper than in “central” St. Petersburg, where the average cost of a “square” at the end of the year was 87 thousand rubles.

Where is it cheaper? According to the BN database, in Vsevolozhsk for 650 thousand rubles. You can purchase a one-room apartment with an area of ​​26.6 square meters. m in a two-story wooden house on Griboyedov Street. It takes 50 minutes to get to the nearest metro station (Ladozhskaya) by public transport. In Gatchina, you can buy a one-room apartment (25.7 sq. m) in a wooden house for 780 thousand rubles.

Closer to the city - in the village named after Sverdlov (Vsevolozhsk district of the Leningrad region) - a one-room apartment with an area of ​​31.8 square meters. m in a brick house can be purchased for 1.43 million rubles. It takes 25 minutes to get to the Lomonosovskaya metro station by public transport.

In Tosno there is a one-room apartment with an area of ​​32 square meters. m already costs 1.65 million rubles.

Two-room apartments on the secondary market in Sertolovo RUB 2.6 million

In one of the cheapest urban areas - Kolpinsky - one-room apartments cost from 1.7 million rubles. For this money you can buy a house with an area of ​​30 square meters. m in the house of the 504th series. The cost of real estate in this area of ​​St. Petersburg is influenced, first of all, by the proximity to the Zvezdnaya metro station - it takes 15 minutes to get there by transport.

In Kronstadt, the most affordable one-room apartment can be purchased for 2.3 million rubles. Area – 36.9 sq. m, first floor of a three-story building that has undergone major renovation. Its windows overlook the Gulf of Finland and the base of the Baltic Fleet.

In Lomonosov and Peterhof, apartments also cost from 2.3 million rubles. Comparable prices are also maintained in large cities of the Kurortny district, such as Beloostrov and Sestroretsk.

Prospects at a distance Speaking about the future, experts have no doubt that housing in the suburbs will continue to be in stable demand among buyers. The most popular areas in the coming years will be new development areas, such as Kudrovo and Devyatkino.

Experts also predict that in the coming years, developers will rush “deeper” into the region and remote areas of St. Petersburg, developing more and more new territories and offering buyers even more affordable housing. “If we talk about the most promising urban areas (of those that developers are just beginning to cover), then this is the Kurortny district, which received a new impetus for development thanks to the reclamation project. The Pushkinsky district is also promising, where land of the Agrarian University was recently acquired for development,” comments Olga Trosheva.

Against this background, interest in Soviet-built houses in such “enclaves” as Kronstadt will gradually decline, however, there will always be a buyer for such housing - “settlers” from communal apartments, focused on the cheapest housing, and visitors from other regions of Russia and CIS countries.

Petrodvortsovy district

It stretches along the southern coast of the Gulf of Finland and occupies 109 km². In fact, this is a suburb of St. Petersburg, an environmentally friendly place with a large number of green spaces, parks and squares.

Tourists come here for the sights:

• Peterhof;
• Oranienbaum;
• Konstantinovsky Palace.

Peterhof is the main attraction of the Petrodvortsovy district.
The social infrastructure is well developed - shops, kindergartens, schools, branches of large universities, medical institutions.

Mostly elite cottage communities and low-rise buildings have been built here. The area is prestigious, so real estate is expensive. About 140,000 people live here. The majority of the population has personal transport, which makes it easy to reach the city center along wide highways. There is no metro, but there is a railway, trains and electric trains run regularly. During the tourist season there is a shortage of public transport, and crowding is possible.

How to get from St. Petersburg to the suburbs. The most complete version

Good afternoon, dear forum users. You all know that one of the main questions of interest to guests who come to our city is: “How to get to the suburbs?” (To be fair, it must be said that many of the places mentioned here are not actually “suburbs”, but full-fledged administrative districts within the city of St. Petersburg.) There are many ways, I, of course, will describe the easiest and most convenient ones. But there are also heavy and inconvenient ones, I know about them, but if I didn’t write them down, then they really are heavy and inconvenient, believe me. I won’t write prices, it’s clear why - the publication, I hope, will not last for one season. Along the way, I will try to tell you about what interesting things you will see along the way. Important! Since entrance to palaces and parks is preferential for residents, i.e. citizens of the Russian Federation, have with you an identity document confirming the available federal benefits (pensioners, disabled people) So, let's start from the northern shore of the Gulf of Finland, on which

SESTRORETSK, ZELENOGORSK, VYBORG

If you have enough time on your trip and you want to take a break from the “stucco and gilding” and devote the day to leisurely walks along the beaches and inhaling the unusual aromas of “sea air” (most often it is the smell of rotting algae. However, swimming, after all, I don’t recommend it - cold, shallow, dirty) you can go to Kuokkala - Kellomäki - Terijoki. - Raivola. A Schengen visa is not needed here, because since 1948 they are called not at all as “foreign” as in those years when they were Finland: Repino - Komarovo - Zelenogorsk - Roshchino. They all follow one after another on the same railway line, the trains along which go from the Finlyandsky Station .

Taking the escalator from the metro station "Pl. Lenin" exit the metro, turn left and enter the station. Train tickets can be purchased at ticket offices or ticket machines. If you use the machines, keep in mind that they have 2 types of menus that are displayed on the screen - just train and “Swallow”. You choose the one you need - here the Lastochka goes to Vyborg, it is more expensive, and goes non-stop, except for Udelnaya, Zelenogorsk and Roshchino, and you need to buy a ticket through the Lastochka menu. When purchasing from the cashier, also warn him that you need a ticket for “Swallow”. If you try to board it with a regular ticket, even to Vyborg, they won’t let you in. Accordingly, if you travel by regular train, you buy a regular ticket. Remember that train tickets must be kept until the end of the trip, since the turnstiles require their presentation not only at the entrance, but also at the exit of each station. In this regard, I recommend not to save money, but to buy a ticket exactly to the station you are going to, otherwise you simply won’t be able to get out. By the way, by presenting your ticket, you can visit the station toilet for FREE. Although, it seems, the presentation of tickets has been canceled recently. Pay attention to the steam locomotive standing on the platform in a glass case - this is a famous relic of Soviet times, on which V.I. Lenin, under the guise of a fireman, traveled to Finland (to the same Raivola - Roshchino) and back (without a visa!). From Botkinskaya Street . (on the left, if you look at the station) the historical part of the station facade of that time has been preserved - the exit was right there.

When arriving at any of these stations, keep in mind that the sea will be on your left along the train and you need to go in that direction, and quite far, about 2 kilometers. The most interesting place is Zelenogorsk , all the rest are just villages with undeveloped infrastructure, so I’m going / you must take your drink with you. You can also get to Zelenogorsk by minibus No. 400 , running from the Finlyandsky Station. Stop in the Finsky Lane (if you are facing the station, turn left around the corner). I don't think it will be faster than by train.

To VYBORG , as I already wrote, the most convenient way to go is by train “Lastochka” , it goes from the Finlyandsky station in the morning, the journey takes 1 hour 15 minutes and makes stops at the station. Udelnaya (there is a metro there, the station is directly opposite the exit from it)

and in Zelenogorsk and Roshchino . I recommend, of course, going from the station to be able to get a seat. If you want, pay extra 90 rubles on weekends. for a seat in a special “excursion” carriage and throughout the trip, listen to a tour along the route and a story about Vyborg and take part in competitions and quizzes with prizes. You can also get there by regular trains, the travel time is about 2 hours. Another way to get to Vyborg is buses No. 850 , coming from the bus station next to the station. m. "Parnas". Travel time is also about 2 hours, they go approximately once every 40 minutes. The buses are quite shabby, but you can take a nap on them, because it’s not interesting to look out the window :) Buses in Vyborg come directly to the railway station.

Another interesting place that you need to get to along the northern shore is SESTRORETSK , a small town with a lot of interesting places. You can also get to it from the Finlyandsky Station , go in the direction of Sestroretsk, Resort . It is possible from Art. “Old Village” - next to the station of the same name. metro. Coming out of the metro, turn right and walk about 150 m to the station. When you go, look on the left at the unusual building of the Hermitage storage facility

Another way is minibus No. 305 from the same station. metro station "Staraya Derevnya" or No. 211, 417, 425 from the metro station. "Black River" . The main attractions along the way are the Lakhta Center (Gazprom Tower), the stadium, colossal interchanges and a small view of the Marine Facade port - all on the left along the way, as well as the entrance to the dam and a piece of it - also on the left.

Pay attention to the building of the railway station in Sestroretsk

this is the only wooden station that has survived since 1894 on the then Primorsky Railway.

It is convenient to reach via the northern shore and

KRONSTADT

Now that Kotlin has ceased to be an island, you no longer need to get to it by water, minibuses go there:

from metro station "Chernaya Rechka" No. 405

Stop next to the Ushakovsky overpass. That is, when leaving the metro you need to go right through the kindergarten

towards Bolshaya Nevka about 150 m.

from Art. metro station "Prospect" Prosveshcheniya No. 407 Coming out of the metro, turn left, walk past the Nord shopping center to the intersection of Prosveshcheniya and Engels Ave. and cross it diagonally. Stop at the house on the right in the photo

The travel time is approximately the same - about 50 minutes, and the price is the same. I prefer the route from “Chernaya Rechka” - it goes along the same road as to Sestroretsk, with the same views. From Prosveshcheniya Ave. just follow the roundabout, through the forest. The main attraction of this trip, of course, is driving along the grandiose dam

From metro station “Old Village” is served by regular bus number 101 . But driving it is completely out of desperation. It winds at the beginning of the route and has approximately 26 stops.

About Kronstadt

From Kronstadt you can move to Oranienbaum by bus number 175 , which runs from the corner of Grazhdanskaya Street. etc. Lenin, about once every 40 minutes, from this “House of Household Services”, stop at the right corner in the photo. And at the left corner there is a minibus stop for St. Petersburg

Travel time is about half an hour, I recommend sitting on the left along the way to see such views of the Marquis's puddle and forts,

and in Oranienbaum, in order to conveniently get to the park, get off at the “School” , before reaching the palace and park (the names of the stops are announced by voice and on a light board) and walk a little forward. The park and palace will be on the right as you go.

On the southern shore of the bay there are such pearls in the necklace of St. Petersburg suburbs as

STRELNA, ALEXANDRIA, PETERHOF, SERGIEVKA, ORANIENBAUM

What is very convenient for visiting is that they are also located on the same road, which is alternately called Peterhof, St. Petersburg, Oranienbaum highways, and along its entire length you can use the same minibuses starting from the metro station. "Autovo". Some of them go only to Peterhof, some further - to Oranienbaum, this is written on them. Just clarify - you need those that go to Oranienbaum to the train station, and not to the university - this is important. Coming out of the metro station “Avtovo”, turn right, see the underground passage (the arrow points), go down, cross it and go out to the right, straight to the minibus stops

In the underground passage there are 2 stalls that sell a variety of pastries. Water is cheapest at the “1st lane” press stalls, which are located at every metro station, including in Avtovo - take the first staircase on the left. Sergievka on the way, which is located between Peterhof and Oranienbaum, you need to take minibuses 401, 401, A, K 300 or regular buses No. 200, 210 , which go quite slowly, with a large number of stops, and get off at the “Biological” Institute” , seeing such a palace on the left along the hill. The stop is right in front of it

Please note that when traveling by bus, payment is made by zone, and will be at least twice as expensive as when traveling around the city. Those. if a one-time ticket costs 50 rubles, you will pay 100 rubles, according to Podorozhnik, accordingly, 72 rubles. to Peterhof by minibus K 343, 639B from the metro station. "Etc. Veterans" or K 420, 103 from the station. m. "Leninsky Prospekt" (get into the last car along the way, when getting off, go along the underground passage to the left to the end). But this is much more inconvenient - there are few of them, they do not go as often as from Avtovo.

Another, worst way, which I categorically do not recommend, but which I must mention, is by train from the Baltic Station or minibus No. 404 from it. Mention it - and forget it - it’s long, inconvenient, etc.

Meteor hydrofoils , starting from the Palace Embankment, the Palace Bridge and the Bronze Horseman . Remember that the price of a ticket to “Meteor” does not include the cost of a ticket to the park, it will have to be purchased separately, at the ticket office at the pier, and there, upon the arrival of one or several “Meteors” at once, a hefty queue will form, since each can accommodate about 100 Human. So, try to be “in the front row” on the way out and run to the ticket office.

But, I’ll say it again, we recommend, if you want and don’t mind the money, to go on them FROM Peterhof. The main reason for the convenience of this method is that, tired and happy, in just half an hour, sitting for the entire trip, you will find yourself in the very center of the city, where most tourists live. But it’s better to take care of return tickets to Meteor at a convenient time in advance - arriving in the morning, especially on weekends. The return trip by minibus and metro will take at least 1.5 - 2 hours and you are not guaranteed seats.

During your trip by minibus from St. Petersburg, you will be able to see and visit the most interesting objects - the Konstantinovsky Palace (Palace of Congresses)

Travel Palace of Peter I

Alexandria Park with the Cottage and Farmer palaces, the Gothic Chapel

Please note that if you want to visit Alexandria Park , it is more convenient to leave before reaching Peterhof, at the very beginning of the park, at the intersection of St. Petersburg Highway and st. Tchaikovsky (stop "Alexandria"), and then go in the direction of the Lower Park ahead along the route. The entrance to Alexandria looks like this (on the right in the photo - the ticket office and the checkpoint) you will drive in the direction you are looking, along the highway, which is in the left corner of the frame. the Cottage Palace nearby , and to Fermersky and the Chapel you need to walk forward through the park towards Peterhof for about a kilometer.

Arriving in Peterhof and a little before reaching the entrance to the Upper Garden , on the left you will see the Church of Peter and Paul , going out and going around it on the left and moving along the pond to the left, you will see a ticket office and a dam leading to Tsaritsyn Island - this is the entrance to Tsaritsyn and Olgin Islands must-sees

If you don’t go to the islands, go a little further and get off at the yellow-green fence on the right along the way - this is the fence of the Upper Garden and the entrance to it

(until the end of 2023, the Upper Garden is closed for repairs, so you need to get out either at the beginning of the fence or at the end of it and walk along it towards the palace)

There is a transport stop there

Stop in the direction of St. Petersburg further, where the fence ends - opposite its corner.

Entering the garden you see a grandiose panorama of the Grand Palace

and move towards it to go around it on the right or left and get to the cash blocks in the Lower Park. These blocks are on the right and left

as you can see, there are cafes there (expensive). If you go from the left ticket office to the left along the fence, there will be “Cheburechnaya Brynza”.

Just keep in mind that in the summer, with a lot of foliage, it will all look a little different. But in these photos you can see the objects themselves.

If you go by car, look for parking either before reaching the Upper Garden, or there is a small parking lot opposite the entrance.

Or you can already drive past the fence of the Upper Garden, drive another 100 meters and behind this house there will be a turn to large paid parking lots, where the car turns. There is a sign there.

In addition to the above-mentioned minibuses, you can get to ORANIENBAUM the Baltiysky station (metro station “Baltiyskaya”). Go to Oranienbaum station - 1 , better - in the first carriages. Coming out of the station, go forward - to the right, there you will see a park and the entrance to it. If you decide to go from Oranienbaum to Kronstadt, take bus number 175 on the station square.

Southern suburbs

GATCHINA, TSARSKOYE SELO, PAVLOVSK

You can go to all these suburbs from one place - from Moskovskaya Square. (metro station "Moskovskaya") .

If you take the metro from the city center, get into the last car along the way, go out into the underground passage and go up the first staircase on the left. You will see this picture

go left, to the building of the House of Soviets. On the way, pass by a glass pavilion that goes underground - it has a toilet . Approaching the House you will see a bus stop

On the right in the photo are those that go to Gatchina (No. K18, K18A) , on the left - to Pushkin (Tsarskoe Selo) and Pavlovsk (No. 299, 545) . They say where they are going. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that minibus 545A sometimes pops up there - it is illegal, it is periodically caught right on the highway and the buses are confiscated. There is no need to drive it - firstly, they only take cash, and secondly, official carriers have passengers insured in case of an accident, but these, of course, do not. Please note that both of these minibuses pass Tsarskoe Selo, passing by the park and go further - to Pavlovsk , and 545 goes only to the railway station in Pavlovsk (there is an entrance to the park), and 299 further - to the Pavlovsky Palace . There is also an entrance there. These minibuses travel along a very interesting road - they pass ultra-modern multi-level road junctions of the Ring Road, huge futuristic shopping centers, and rise to the Pulkovo Heights, with colossal views of the city. Having arrived in Pushkin, they drive along it a little, drive up to the railway station, and then go to the park, don’t be alarmed. In Pushkin (Tsarskoye Selo) you need to get off at the corner of Orangereinaya and Sadovaya streets , ask the driver if anything happens, everyone gets off there. The Catherine Palace, park, Lyceum and Alexander Park will be on the right; on the way to them there are a couple of entrances to the park - you will see. On the way back, you need to “catch” the minibus at the same corner, or by walking along Oranzhereynaya towards FROM the park. On the right in the photo is Sadovaya Street, leading to the palace and the Lyceum.

Another way to get to Pushkin and Pavlovsk by minibus is to take the metro to the final metro station "Kupchino" , taking the last car along the way, do not go down from the platform, as the people in the photo do, but go out into the street through the door on the left. If the door is closed, go downstairs, turn left and take the nearest stairs to the ticket office.

Going out into the street, you will see an underground passage along which you need to cross Vitebsky Prospekt, on the opposite side of which there is a parking lot for minibuses, also going to Tsarskoye and Pavlovsk - it is written on them. The trip from Kupchino is not so interesting, the views are non-existent.

The third available way to travel to Pushkin and Pavlovsk is by train from Vitebsky station or from the Kupchino railway station (Kupchino metro station). Vitebsk station is worthy of a separate excursion visit. It is located next to the metro station. Pushkinskaya . Coming out of the metro, turn left around the corner and see the station. The entrance is at the corner closest to the photo, under the canopy.

Once inside, go up the stairs to the second floor (!), follow the signs to the platform to the left and in the far corner on the right you see the exit to the trains and the ticket office

There is one more entrance - you need to walk along the station building, turn left around the corner and there is a ticket office pavilion and an exit to the trains.

Electric trains go to Pushkin (Tsarskoe Selo) for about half an hour. One of the railway stations along the trip, still in the city, is connected to the station. Kupchino metro station, so if you go back by train, take a ticket to Kupchino - it’s a little cheaper and much faster than returning to the station. You need to get off at Kupchino in the same way as described above - on the right you will see the railway ticket office pavilion from which you follow the underground passage to the right (see signs) to the station. Having arrived in Tsarskoye by train, go out onto the semicircular square where buses and minibuses stop, going to the park. You can walk from there. There are 3 streets radiating from the square, go along the middle one, which is called Shirokaya, to Oktyabrsky Boulevard, along it a little to the right to Orange Street and along it to the left to the park. The walk is about 2 km, so keep in mind that you still have a lot of walking in the parks. The next train stop after Tsarskoe Selo is PAVLOVSK . The entrance to Pavlovsky Park is directly opposite the station. Well, it is written above that you can go there on the same minibuses as to Tsarskoye Selo from Moskovskaya Square. or Kupchino.

Theoretically, from Pavlovsk you can get to Gatchina by bus No. 529 - it goes from the railway station in Pavlovsk to the Gatchina Varshavskaya railway station, i.e. it does not reach the palaces. Therefore, in Gatchina you need to get off at the turn from 25 October Avenue onto the street. Chkalov and continue walking along the avenue forward for about a kilometer.

to buses, you can also get to GATCHINA the Baltiysky Station (metro station "Baltiyskaya") . You need to exit the metro onto the street, turn left and enter the station. Be careful - there are 2 Gatchina stations - "Gatchina Baltiyskaya" and "Gatchina Varshavskaya". You need "Gatchina Baltiyskaya" - these are electric trains going in the direction of "Gatchina Baltiyskaya", approximately once every 50 minutes, or Weimarn, Kingisepp, Ivangorod . The latter rarely come. The advantage of this route is that the station is located directly opposite the palace - when leaving the station you will see it in the perspective of the alley of Emperor Paul I, 350 meters away. From Gatchina of Warsaw you will have to walk more than 2.5 km to the palace.

Another interesting object worth visiting ONLY IN SUMMER is the ancient

FORTRESS NUT

Shlisselburg , located next to the fortress . This can be done on buses departing from the metro station. "Rybatskoye", No. 440 or metro station "St. Dybenko", No. 575 . Experience shows that from the street. Dybenko is much faster and more convenient, keep in mind. The stops are right next to the metro exits. Having arrived at the ring in Shlisselburg, go forward, cross the Staraya Ladoga Canal bridge and on the left on the bank of the Neva there will be a pier from which boats go to the island to the fortress.

From May 2022, the Meteor (hydrofoil) began sailing to the Oreshek fortress on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Departure from Universitetskaya embankment near Rumyantsevsky Garden, travel time is one and a half hours. An excursion along the route is promised.

Theoretically, you can go by train from the Finlyandsky Station, but the method is bad, so I’m not writing about it.

Somehow like this. Finally, a few links:

Primorsky district

It is home to the largest number of St. Petersburg residents - almost 600,000 people. Area - 109 km². There is clean air and good ecology here. There are practically no industrial enterprises, but parks, squares and forests occupy a significant part of the territory.

The area is developing rapidly, new residential complexes are constantly being built. Real estate here is considered prestigious, apartments are expensive. Cottages and townhouses have also been built in the area.

Since many people live here, there is a shortage of kindergartens, schools, hospitals and clinics. However, there are plenty of shops, shopping centers and restaurants. 5 metro stations have been opened, a railway has been built, but the problem with transport accessibility has not yet been solved; there is not enough public transport for all residents. Owners of personal cars also often find themselves stuck in traffic jams, despite the fact that new road junctions and highways were built not so long ago. The area is located behind the railway, so congestion most often occurs behind the crossing.

Pushkinsky district

It is located in the southeast of St. Petersburg, its area is almost 240 km². It ranks second in terms of territory size. About 220,000 people live here.

The area is suburban, located outside the ring road. There are few industries here and there are no environmental problems. There are many parks, squares, green corners. It's quiet, calm, cozy here.

Until recently, there was only prestigious real estate here - old houses near parks, expensive cottages. But now economy-class neighborhoods are being built, the apartments there are quite affordable.

There are several universities, technical schools, many schools and kindergartens.

There is one metro station built here, but most residents and tourists prefer to travel by train. In summer there are often traffic jams due to the large number of vacationers.

People mainly come here to visit Tsarskoye Selo and Pavlovsk.

Tsarskoye Selo is located in the Pushkinsky district

Second day

Gatchina - thoughtful mood

Photo: unsplash.com
There is nothing superfluous in this park: only clear lines and harmony of layout. The Great Gatchina Palace looks like an impregnable bastion. Thick walls, slender towers and a wide parade ground are inscribed in the restrained beauty of northern nature. In a relatively small park there is a unique structure - the Priory Castle, built from compressed clay. The Gatchina Museum-Reserve is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Soundtrack of the walk: P. I. Tchaikovsky.

Time to visit without the palace : about 2 hours.

Ticket price: to the park - free*. Palaces - additionally.

How to get there from St. Petersburg: from the Baltiysky Station by train to the Gatchina-Baltiyskaya station it takes about an hour. In 50 minutes you can get to Gatchina by minibuses K-18, K-18a or by bus 431 from the Moskovskaya metro station.

The journey by car to Gatchina will take about one hour.

Frunze district

This is an area in the east of St. Petersburg, its area is 37 km². The number of inhabitants is about 390,000 people.

One of the oldest districts of the city. Today it is considered dormant, practically not developing. The buildings are dense, mostly panel apartment buildings. There is no new construction. Apartments are inexpensive. The infrastructure is good. Near the metro there are hypermarkets of famous chains, there are cafes, restaurants, beauty salons and gyms.

Universities, technical colleges, schools and preschool institutions were built. There are hospitals.

There are 7 metro stations open, but transport accessibility is still low. There is not enough public transport, there are always traffic jams on the roads, and few exits.

central District

It occupies a small area, only 17 km². Over 200,000 people live here. This is the historical center of the city, most of the buildings were built before 1917. There are many emergency and dilapidated buildings here, but real estate is still expensive. Especially those apartments that are located in the “golden triangle” - between the Neva, Fontanka, Admiralteysky Prospekt and Gorokhovaya Street. Apartments with a view of the Moika River are also highly valued.

Apartments with a view of the Moika in the Central district of St. Petersburg are expensive

The main attractions of the city are concentrated in this area.

• Nevsky Avenue.
• Singer's house.
• Admiralty.
• Kazan Cathedral.

Tourists prefer to stay here, so there are many hostels and mini-hotels located in the houses. There are cafes, canteens, restaurants, grocery stores, and souvenir shops.

Administrative and government buildings were built in the Central region.

11 metro stations are open, buses, trolleybuses, trams, and minibuses operate. Due to ground transport during rush hour, traffic jams form for many hours on the roads.

There are few trees, and the air is heavily polluted due to automobile fumes.
