Pulkovo International Airport is considered the third largest airport in Russia in terms of passenger traffic, second only to Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo in terms of occupancy. It is located 15 kilometers from the center of St. Petersburg, on the border of the city and the Leningrad region.
Instructions
Step 1
Pulkovo airport has two terminals: Pulkovo-1 serves domestic flights, and Pulkovo-2 - international. There is no internal communication between the terminals, while not all transport going to the international terminal goes to Pulkovo-1. Therefore, when planning a route to the airport, you should not lose sight of the terminal number.
Step 2
Bus number 39 and a minibus with the same number run to Pulkovo-1 from the Moskovskaya metro station. The final stop is on Moskovsky Prospekt (exit from the metro towards Altayskaya Street). From the Moskovskaya metro station, transport to the airport starts at half past five in the morning, the end of the movement is about half past midnight. The interval of movement is 10-15 minutes, and the travel time in the absence of traffic jams on the minibus is 20-25 minutes, on the bus - about half an hour.
Step 3
You can also get to Pulkovo-2 from the Moskovskaya metro station - by bus # 13 or minibus # 39A. Travel time will be 15-20 minutes. In addition, the international terminal can be reached from the center by minibus # K-3, the final stop of which is at the Sennaya metro station. The bus also stops at all metro stations located on Moskovsky Prospekt: these are Technological Institute, Frunzenskaya, Moskovskie Vorota, as well as Electrosila, Victory Park and Moskovskaya. But since Moskovsky Prospekt is a fairly busy highway, travel times can be unpredictable during peak hours. From the metro station "Kupchino" to "Pulkovo-2" can be reached by minibus # 113.
Step 4
From Vladimirskaya Square (metro stations "Vladimirskaya" and "Dostoevskaya") to the airport there are also high-comfort express buses: No. K-800 to Pulkovo-1 and No. K-900 to Pulkovo-2. Within the city, the express routes are similar, they make intermediate stops at the Tekhnologicheskiy institut and Moskovskaya metro stations. Routes are announced as round-the-clock (traffic interval is 20-40 minutes), but according to passengers' reviews at night, the schedule is not always respected.
Step 5
To get to Pulkovo by car, you need to go to Pulkovskoe highway. Immediately after crossing the highway with the ring road, you will see a right turn to the Pulkovo-2 terminal. If you need to get to Pulkovo-1, continue along Pulkovskoe shosse until the next right turn.
