TicketsOp de site www.cheaptickets.nl kun je de goedkoopste vluchten van Amsterdam of Brussel naar Sint Petersburg opzoeken en direct boeken. Twee maatschappijen komen in aanmerking voor een directe vlucht vanuit Amsterdam: Pulkovo en KLM. Alitalia en Austrian airlines zijn ook niet duur, maar die gaan niet rechtstreeks. Pulkovo is relatief het goedkoopst, KLM vliegt vaker. Voorbeeldprijs van een retourticket Amsterdam - Sint Petersburg met Pulkovo: 199,00 + 65,71 tax = 264,71 euro. Voorbeeld van een retourticket Brussel - Sint Petersburg via Milaan met Alitalia: 170,00 + 122,20 tax = 292,20 euro Een ticket
van Keulen naar Sint Petersbug is ook een idee. |
If you prefer to go by taxi from the airport to the student house, the university can arrange the transfer in advance. A taxi from the airport to the student house and back by return costs 65 EURO; or you can take a taxi yourself on the airport.
For little money you can go by bus or minibus and metro from the airport to the student house. Bus 13 or minibus number 13 depart from airport Pullkovo 2. The busstop is at your left hand side when you leave the airport hall. The bus goes to metro station Moskovskaya. From there you can go by metro line 2 (blue line) to Technologitsheski Institue, change there and get metro line nr 1 (red line) straight to metrostation Ploshchad Muzhestva. From there it is 10 minutes walk to the student house: out of the metro you go to the right, until the corner of a big street, that is Ulitsa Xlopina. You walk about 800 meters along this street; when you see a big parking place to your right hand, go there to the right along the parking place and the building you see in front of you is the builduing you need to go in.
