    • 'Mode': TO,AROUND
    Category: Airplane
    Getting TO/AROUND: KLM, Swissair, BA and some other airlines have direct flights from their hub cities. Additionally, the local Pulkovo airline has direct flights to major European cities such as Paris, Stockholm and Amsterdam as well and it's not as bad as you might think!

    St Pet is a big city, and walking around is quite a task, so use the subway for longer distances. It's dead cheap and trains run from 6am till 1am, every two minutes. Taxi's aren't expensive either, and they're a good choice of transport after dark. If you can't get an official taxi and are with a group, hail any car in the street, ask if the driver will take you to your destination and if so, fix a price. Usually 100/150 rubles will easily get you from the city centre to one of the suburbs. It sounds dodgy and I would not recommend this to women travellers, but it's definitely worth a try if anything else fails!
