St. Petersburg Suburbs
Excursions to the suburbs from St. Petersburg
Excursions to the suburbs of St. Petersburg are an important part of getting to know the cultural capital. It is outside the historical center that the continuation of St. Petersburg's history unfolds: imperial residences, palace parks, fortresses and sea panoramas. Visiting the suburbs gives you the opportunity to see St. Petersburg more broadly – as a whole cultural world, where each country residence complements the image of the imperial capital.
This category features popular suburbs of St. Petersburg: Peterhof, Pushkin and Tsarskoye Selo, Kronstadt, Pavlovsk, Gatchina, Oranienbaum, as well as longer one-day trips to Vyborg, Veliky Novgorod and Karelia. This format is suitable for tourists who have already seen the city center and want to see more beyond Nevsky Prospekt, Palace Square and the embankments.
How to choose a suburb for an excursion
Each destination has its own character. Peterhof and Pushkin are chosen for a first introduction to the imperial residences, Kronstadt – for maritime history and the Gulf of Finland, Pavlovsk, Gatchina and Oranienbaum – for a more relaxed walk, and Vyborg, Veliky Novgorod and Karelia – for a full-day trip.
First time
Peterhof or Pushkin
The best choice for a first introduction to the imperial suburbs: palaces, parks, famous symbols and a rich excursion program.
Maritime history
Kronstadt
A route to the Naval Cathedral, Anchor Square, the dam, the forts and the Gulf of Finland. A good option for those who want to see a different St. Petersburg.
More relaxed
Pavlovsk, Gatchina, Oranienbaum
More intimate destinations with palaces, parks and the history of imperial residences without the feeling of too dense a tourist flow.
Full day
Vyborg, Novgorod, Karelia
Long-distance routes for those who want to travel beyond the nearest suburbs and see medieval towns, fortresses, parks and nature.
It's better to choose classic suburbs and long-distance routes with time to spare
If you have half a day, choose the nearest destinations: Peterhof, Pushkin, Kronstadt, Pavlovsk, Gatchina or Oranienbaum. If you have a whole day free, you can consider Vyborg, Veliky Novgorod or Karelia – such trips usually take longer on the road, but give a different impression of the North-West.
Prices, schedule and booking
The cost of a tour to the suburbs depends on the destination, route duration, season, transport and entrance tickets to palaces, museums or parks. The simplest bus programs are usually cheaper, while routes with palaces, museums and several sites are more expensive due to included tickets and a fuller program.
Current prices, dates, departure times, duration and availability are shown in the cards of specific tours. In high season, on holidays and during school vacations, it's better to book places in palaces and on popular routes in advance.

GoQuestions about tours to the suburbs
Which suburb of St. Petersburg should you choose for the first time?
For the first time, most people choose Peterhof or Pushkin. Peterhof is suitable for those who want to see the fountains, the Lower Park and the ceremonial palace ensemble. Pushkin is chosen for the Catherine Palace, the Amber Room and the atmosphere of Tsarskoye Selo.
Which tours to the suburbs are by bus?
Most suburban routes are by bus: this is convenient for Peterhof, Pushkin, Kronstadt, Pavlovsk, Gatchina, Oranienbaum and Vyborg. The bus format helps you see more in one day and avoid spending time on transfers on your own.
Can I visit several suburbs in one day?
Yes, there are combined routes, for example Peterhof and Kronstadt in one day or large programs covering several imperial residences. Such tours are more packed, so it is better to choose them if you are ready for a long trip.
Where to go with children or a school group?
For children and schoolchildren, bus routes with clear logistics are suitable: Pushkin, Peterhof, Kronstadt, Gatchina or sightseeing programs with museums. For classes, you can separately look at school excursions.
Which suburbs are best to see in summer and which in winter?
In summer, Peterhof, Kronstadt, Pavlovsk, Oranienbaum and Vyborg are especially popular: at this time the parks, walking areas and routes by the water are in full swing. In winter, it is more convenient to choose destinations with an indoor part – Pushkin with the Catherine Palace, Gatchina, museums, palaces and bus excursions.
Where can I see all the prices and buy a ticket?
Prices, schedules and availability are shown in the tour cards. To compare suburban routes by duration, format and cost, go to catalog of all tours.
What to choose after a tour of the suburbs
If you are planning a trip to St. Petersburg for several days, it is convenient to combine a suburban route with a city sightseeing tour, the Hermitage, a boat trip or an evening program. Ready-made options can be found in the section tours to St. Petersburg.
