Bus route 39 - it stops near the Gates #1 in the lower level of the airport. Buses run from 6:30am till 12:00pm with 15-20 minutes interval. There are several stops along the Pulkovo Highway ("Pulkovskoe Shosse"), one in the Victory Square opposite the Pulkovskaya Hotel ("Gostinitsa Pulkovskaja"), and the next near Moskovskaya Metro station from where it will take you about 20 minutes to get to Nevsky Prospect by metro. Current bus fare is 7 rubles (about 25 cents).

Express buses K-39/ K-39A - provide a much faster connection to the city with some buses commuting only between Moskovskaya Metro station and the airport and others taking you all way to different parts of the city. Current fare is 15 - 25 rubles, most drivers will charge you a flat 15 rubles fee (about 50 cents) for getting to Moskovskaya Metro station.

Taxi - the most expensive yet available round-the-clock mode of transportation which can be very costly if you arrive late at night. In the day time expect to pay anywhere from 400 to 600 rubles ($14 - $22) for a ride to Moskovskaya Metro station, and other destinations in the city may cost you up to 1500 rubles (about $55). If you arrive very late at night prices will skyrocket and you will be better off either having your hotel or tour operator send a car to meet you at the airport. As in many other countries, proficiency in the local language can help reduce the price.

Bus route 11 - the bus stop is located in front of the main building of the airport opposite the parking lot and closer to the Arrivals Hall. Note that there is another bus stop closer to the Departures Hall and bus 11 stops there en route to Aviagorodok (or Aviation Town) - which is not what you want. After departing from Aviagorodok the same bus will make a stop near the Arrivals Hall and form there will go to St. Petersburg via Pulkovo highway, the Victory Square and on to Moskovskaya Metro station. Buses run from 6:30am till 12:00pm with 15-20 minutes interval. Current bus fare is 7 rubles (about 25 cents).

A ride to the city center may cost up to $50 for a party of two. Prior airport transfer arrangements with your hotel or tour company are highly recommended.
