It has been the capital of Russia from 1703 to 1917.
== Hitching Out ==
Remember, most important: It is '''not''' possible anymore to hitchhike on the highway ring around Piter!
== Hitching Out =North-West towards [[Helsinki]], [[Finland]]===Remember, most importantGoing to Finland you have different options: It is * Take tram #19 or #48 and ride to it'''not''' possible s western end stop. Then walk a short km down the highway to the DPS police station. You can hitchhike on behind the station.* Take a train to Lahta station. Right next to the station the road is wide and nice.* Take the bus #101, #110, #120 or #211 to Olgino. Look out of the highway-ring around Piter!!!window for a proper bus stop to start.
=== South to [[Moscow]] ===
Take the metro to the station Kupchino and then bus 196 to the stop Moskovskaya Slavyanka. You can hitch from just before the bus stop. Traffic jams are frequent here, slowing down traffic enough to get a ride faster.
 
Another option is to get to the Victory Square (Ploshad Pobedy, Russian: Площадь Победы). The nearest metro station is Moskovskaya. It's the beginning of the road to Moscow (Moskovskoye Shosse), pretty easy to catch direct rides to the capital here. A sign saying Moscow might be useful.
