Current ways to travel to St. Petersburg <\/strong><\/h3>\n

St. Petersburg is located in the Western part of Russia close to the border with Baltic countries, that is why even in today\u2019s circumstances, with no direct European flights available, the journey here still doesn\u2019t take long. Moreover, our patients were safely traveling to St. Petersburg throughout the whole pandemic using the ways we have checked and established in the summer of 2020. We know that these travel routes work well, are comfortable and the fastest possible. Only after having checked them ourselves we now recommend them to our patients.<\/p>\n

You can choose among the following options:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Option 1\u00a0\u2014 Travel through Tallinn<\/em><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 1.<\/strong> You take a regular daily flight from your city to Tallinn (it costs on average 50-100 EUR per person).<\/p>\n

Step 2.<\/strong> Here you can choose from three alternatives:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. You may take a direct bus from Tallinn to St. Petersburg by the company LUXexpress or Ecolines.
    \nThe trip takes around 7 hours (depending on the time on the border).
    \nThe fee is 50-80 EUR.
    \nPlease note that the distance between Tallinn airport and Tallinn Coach station is about 2.5 km. You may take a taxi at the airport to get to the station.<\/li>\n
  2. You may take a train from Tallinn to the nearest town with the Russian border called Narva.
    \nThe one-way ticket is 13-20 euros.
    When you are in Narva, from the Narva train station to the border checkpoint is about 1.5km, so you may take a local taxi at the station or go on foot.
    When you cross the border (on foot), at the parking area you will be met by our driver who will take you to your hotel in St Petersburg.
    \nThe trip takes around 2,5 hours and costs 100 EUR (120 USD) per car (you can split the cost if you travel with someone else; please, note that the car can take up to 3 passengers).<\/li>\n
  3. If you are not a fan of bus or train, we are happy to arrange the car transfer for you right from the Tallinn airport to your hotel in St. Petersburg.
    \nThe whole journey will take around 6 hours (depending on the time on the border).
    \n\u2014 First, you take an Estonian taxi (we will arrange it for you) from Tallinn airport to the Russian-Estonian border (it takes about 2.5h and costs 150 EUR per one car, you can split it if you travel with someone else; please, note that the car can take up to 3 passengers).
    \n\u2014 Then you cross the border (on foot) and at the parking area our driver meets you and takes you to your hotel in St. Petersburg (this trip also takes around 2,5 hours and costs 100 EUR (120 USD) per car, you can split it if you travel with someone else; please, note that the car can take up to 3 passengers).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
