Planning a trip from Perm to St. Petersburg? There are really many transport options. It all depends on the capabilities of your wallet and free time. After all, the path is not short and in some cases takes more than a day.

Airplane

If you value your time, we recommend using an airplane to travel from Perm to St. Petersburg. Pay more, but you will spend only 5 hours on the road. Well, plus the time for the transfer to the airport.

If we talk about prices, then be prepared to pay at least 9,000 rubles for a one-way ticket. At the moment, S7 Airlines is engaged in transportation on this route. And be prepared for the fact that you have to make a transplant in Moscow. How long it will last depends on the flight time. Therefore, in some cases, the flight time may increase.

Another option is to fly with Nordwind Airlines. They also make a transfer in Moscow, but it is possible to get on a plane, where the transfer is 7 hours. Departing in the evening, in the morning you will be in Perm.

By the way, when you return from St. Petersburg to Perm, tickets are cheaper. The minimum price is 5,700 rubles. You can pay a maximum of 20,600 rubles.

If you are going on a trip, do not forget to periodically check the sites for the sale of air tickets. Sometimes they have sales, so there is a chance to stumble upon an attractive offer and buy cheaper tickets.

How to get from the airport?

Pulkovo Airport is located relatively close to the city - only 15 kilometers away. If you don't want to take a taxi, there are regular buses running between the airport and the city center.

A bus number K-800 departs from Terminal 1 every half an hour, and a K-900 bus leaves at the exit from Terminal 2. They were created specifically to deliver those who arrived to the city. This means that such buses are not cheap.

If you do not want to overpay for a transfer, use public transport. Directly opposite the arrivals hall there is a stop where the city bus number 39 and the minibus K3 leave.

Not far from there is another stop - "Pulkovo-2". Buses 13 and 13A stop there, as well as minibuses K3, K113 and K213. Their cost will be two times lower than regular buses.

Train
