This is just one of the imposing sights to be seen within a few minutes&#8217; walk of O.L.G.A. Fertility Clinic. Others include the Russian Museum, The Church on&nbsp;the Spilled Blood and&nbsp;of course the Hermitage, which&nbsp;houses some of Russia&#8217;s foremost treasures.<\/p>\n<div class=\"col2\">\n<div class=\"rimg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/p\/stp\/stp3.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col2\">\n<p>Nevsky Prospekt is one of the most important streets in&nbsp;St. Petersburg, and&nbsp;extremely conveniently located for&nbsp;culture, shops, restaurants and&nbsp;hotels. The O.L.G.A. Fertility Clinic is just one minute&#8217;s walk from Nevsky Prospekt Metro, and&nbsp;many buses pass our door. Nevsky Prospect is the main shopping street in&nbsp;our great city, offering everything from individual specialist shops to department stores. It also has a wide variety of caf\u00e9s and&nbsp;restaurants where&nbsp;you can relax and&nbsp;watch the local fashions walk by.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cf\">\n<blockquote>\n<p>And&nbsp;what an exciting city full of culture! I totally enjoyed myself in&nbsp;St Petersburg. I went to see a great Russian ballet (and had some caviar during the pause, unfortunately no champagne for&nbsp;me though;). I was offered a private city tour in&nbsp;the morning before&nbsp;the embryo transfer. I was there alone during three days but&nbsp;I never felt like it. Reading the map and&nbsp;street names could be tricky but&nbsp;it is exciting, people are helpful, the city feels safe and&nbsp;there are taxies if&nbsp;you do not fancy walking;) I have to return to St Petersburg.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Maria, The Netherlands<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Travel<\/h2>\n<div class=\"col2\">\n<p>So&nbsp;you thought the journey to St Petersburg would take longer! Most patients are amazed by how quick and&nbsp;easy it is to travel to our clinic. With the support of our personal coordinators this trip becomes both easy and&nbsp;enjoyable as&nbsp;St Petersburg not only offers our wonderful and&nbsp;successful clinic, but&nbsp;also a wealth of history, entertainment and&nbsp;culture.<\/p>\n<p>Most of our non-Russian patients arrive by air at&nbsp;Pulkovo Airport (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pulkovoairport.ru\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.pulkovoairport.ru<\/a>) which&nbsp;is situated about 15 km to the south of the city centre. Many scheduled flights arrive here each day from other European cities. We will be glad to arrange a taxi to take you to your hotel or&nbsp;to O.L.G.A. Fertility Clinic \u0421linic. There are also shuttle buses travelling between the airport and&nbsp;a number of Metro stations in&nbsp;the city.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col2 ac\"><a href=\"\/upload\/image\/20151015033322353f.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 435px; height: 326px;\" src=\"\/upload\/image\/20151015033322353f.jpg\" alt=\"Flight time\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p class=\"accent2\">To travel to Russia from most countries also requires a Visa, although&nbsp;this may sound time consuming, it is in&nbsp;fact very quick, easy and&nbsp;straight forward just like the flights!<\/p>\n<p>All countries that&nbsp;require you to obtain a Visa will have their own Visa application and&nbsp;support offices.<\/p>\n<p>It is best to arrange this as&nbsp;far in&nbsp;advance as&nbsp;possible, as&nbsp;soon&nbsp;as&nbsp;you are certain of the dates of your Initial Consultation and\/or the embryo transfer. Sometimes your visa can be arranged by your travel agency if&nbsp;you give them sufficient notice, but&nbsp;if&nbsp;you are travelling independently you will need to arrange it yourself. We can help you by supplying the papers you require to obtain a visa.<\/p>\n<p>If&nbsp;you are traveling for&nbsp;initial consultation, for&nbsp;sperm cryopreservation or&nbsp;embryo transfer, you can come to St.Petersburg by ferry and&nbsp;stay up to 72 hours without visa. The ferries leave from Helsinki (Finland) and&nbsp;Tallin (Estonia).<\/p>\n<h2>Hotels<\/h2>\n<p>There is a wide variety of hotels of all price classes within a few minutes&#8217; walk of O.L.G.A. Fertility Clinic. This means you can reach us quickly and&nbsp;easily, secure in&nbsp;the knowledge that&nbsp;you will not be late for&nbsp;an important appointment.

We can help you with choosing a hotel and&nbsp;also arrange your\u00a0<a href=\"\/en\/trip\/visa\/\">visa support<\/a>\u00a0documents.<\/p>\n<h2>Enjoying your stay<\/h2>\n<div class=\"col2\">\n<p>Depending on&nbsp;whether or&nbsp;not you come to O.L.G.A. Fertility Clinic for&nbsp;an Initial Consultation, you will visit St. Petersburg either once&nbsp;or&nbsp;twice. Although&nbsp;the main reason you come to our great city is to become a parent, you might as&nbsp;well enjoy your stay too! Some of our patients enjoy strolling along our beautiful canals and&nbsp;sampling the menus at&nbsp;restaurants specialising in&nbsp;Russian or&nbsp;other cuisine. Others decide to take in&nbsp;as&nbsp;many sights as&nbsp;possible, while&nbsp;quite a few cannot resist booking a night at&nbsp;the opera or&nbsp;Mariinsky (previously named the Kirov) Ballet. There are also many shopping delights to be had, ranging from snapping up inexpensive Matrushka dolls for&nbsp;your friends and&nbsp;family to investing in&nbsp;an authentic Russian winter coat.
