Most trains from the west and south-west arrive at the Vitebskii vokzal (metro station Pushkinskaya). Trains from the east and nord-east, as well as transit trains Helsinki-Moscow, arrive at the Ladozhskii vokzal (metro station Ladozhskaya). Trains Helsinki-Saint-Petersburg arrive at the Finlyandskii vokzal (metro station Ploshchad' Lenina). Baltiiskii vokzal (metro station Baltiiskaya) serves only regional trains.

Almost all passenger flights to St. Petersburg arrive at the Pulkovo international airport, located approx. 15 km south of St. Petersburg. Domestic and some international flights arrive at the Pulkovo-1 terminal, from where one can reach the Moskovskaya metro station by bus No. 39 or "marshrutka" (routed shared taxi, express minibus) No. 39. Most of international flights arrive at the Pulkovo-2 terminal, from where one can reach the Moskovskaya metro station by bus No. 13 or "marshrutka" No. 13. You will have to pay ~25-60 roubles inside the car (depending on the route and your luggage). Alternatively, you can use an ordinary taxi (a cab). In the latter case, it is strongly recommended to order it upon arrival only at the official counters "Taxi Pulkovo" located in the arrival halls of Pulkovo-1 and Pulkovo-2 terminals (cost ~600 Rubles).
