Transfer
Getting from the airport or train station to the city center in Russian cities can be a problem. Airport taxis are unregulated and the drivers frequently ask for outrageous amounts starting at 2000 rubles and going even higher to take passengers to the centre.  To avoid this I am happy to offer you transfer service to and from the airport/railway station.

Unfortunately I do not have airport shuttle buses here. But there is a cheap but not very easy way of getting to and from the airport. At the international airport Pulkovo II you take a public mini bus (we call it “marshrutka”) that goes to the nearest metro station “Moskovskaya” (about 50 rub per person). From “Moskovskaya” you go by metro to the station in the center of the city that is the closest to your hotel (25 rub/per person). Usually foreign tourists prefer to stay in hotels not far from Nevsky Prospect these stations are called “Nevsky Prospect”, “Gostiny Dvor” or “Mayakovskaya”. Then from the metro station you can walk to your hotel using a map. It is not easy but it is a possibiity if you would like to save money on transfers and are not afraid of getting lost and have a map of Saint-Petersburg with you. Do not forget most signs are in Cyrillic so not too easy to read and marshrutka drivers do not usually speak English. This journey from the airport to the centre of Saint-Petersburg could take about 90 min.


Booking Theater Tickets
Russia is famous for rich theatrical traditions and ballet schools. Many Russian theatres are well known all over the world. I will be pleased to get you tickets for the best performances during your stay in Saint-Petersburg.  The choice can be yours or I can suggest performances that will be available during your visit.  There will be a charge of 5% commission of the initial ticket price for this service.

I can also offer help if you still have not decided where to stay in Saint-Petersburg. There are 2 possible options: booking a hotel or renting an apartment. I can discuss this by e-mail, just decide which one you would prefer  and I can suggest several  options.  Information of the hotels I recommend for staying in, you can find here.
