'''St. Petersburg''' (In Russian: Санкт-Петербург, ''Sankt Peterburg'', often called just ''Piter'') is the second biggest city in [[Russia]] after [[Moscow]]. 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 motorway ring around Piter!
 
=== Northwest towards [[Helsinki]] ([[Finland]]) ===
Going to Finland you have several different options:'''Option 1''' * Take tram #19 or #48 west until the last stop. Then walk a short distance down the motorway metro to the DPS station ''Begovaya'' (road policeБеговая) station. You can hitchhike after Then take bus 101, 110, 120 or 211 to stop Olgino. Look out of the stationwindow for a proper bus stop to start.* '''Option 2''' Take a suburban train (from the stations ''Finlandsky'' or ''Staraya Derevnya'') until the stop ''Lahta''. Right next to the station the road is wide and nice.* '''Option 3''' The furthest and possibly best spot can be reached as followed. Take bus 101the suburban train to station Gorskaya (Горская). It should be noted that this station doesn't have any facilities, so make sure you buy your food and go to the toilet before hopping unto the train! You can hitchhike here several meters before the busstop so that cars can pull over here. To reach this station you can take the suburban train which starts from Finliandsky (Финляндский) station which can be reached by the red metro line to Ploshad' Lenina (Пло́щадь Ле́нина). The trip from the train station takes about 41 minutes.   === Northeast towards [[Petrozavodsk]], [[Murmansk]] === Take the metro to the station ''ulitsa Dybenko'' (Улица Дыбенко) and then marsrutkas (3, 153, 110254, 120 or 211 269) to Olginothe stop ''Mega Dybenko''. It is large shopping center. Look out of You can hitch only after the window for a proper bus stop to startmotorway circle in 1 mile away. Traffic jams are frequent here.
It is better to start after the motorway crosses the ring roar. The station (by bus or by local train) you need is called Gorskaya (it is a bit farther that previous places), there go under the estacade and find a right place. Beginning before this place means you don't get any trucks that make the main traffic on this road. Before Zelenogork the most cars are local (especially on week-ends), try to get the one that goes farther.
=== South towards [[Moscow]] ===
'''Option 1''' Take the metro to the station ''KupčinoKupchino'' (Ку́пчино) and then bus 196 to the stop ''Moskovskaya Slavyanka'' (Московская Славянка). You can hitch from just before the bus stopor walk forward. Traffic jams are frequent here, slowing down traffic enough to get a ride faster. '''Option 2''' Another option is to get to ''Ploshad' Pobedy'' (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. There's a bus stop just after the roundabout, at the beginning of the road. You can hitchhike there or go a bit past the bus stop. A sign saying Moscow might be useful.
