PUSHKIN

How to find Pushkin - Tsarskoe Selo and buy tickets.

First of all: do yourself a huge fovour and forget about a metro, bus, train, and the most of all: the "MARSHRUTKA" - the way, that many tour guides or "concerned" local citizens are suggesting to get there! Pushkin and Petergof are the two famous tourist destinations outside the St. Petersburg and you have to use taxi or transfer service to get there or to get back (regarding the Peterhof, if you're using the boat to get back from there). Trust us: you will not enjoy the savings using the public transport to get there, especially in Summer.

Please remember that The State Hermitage Museum is closed on Mondays, therefore plan your visit to Pushkin avoiding Mondays as the Catherine's Palace will be extremely full.
