How to get there
The conference will be held from Monday June
21st to Sunday June 27th aboard the three-decked
motor-ship “Alexander Benua” traveling from
Moscow to St. Petersburg, Russia. The ship will
depart at
17:30
on June 21 from Moscow
North River Station (in
Russian: "Severnyi Rechnoi Vokzal":
 ).
It is in a north-west part of Moscow, close to
Metro station "Rechnoi Vokzal" (about 10 min
walk), address is 51 Leningradskoe Shosse. The
ship team asks to start checking-in from
15:30.
However, it will be possible at least to leave a
luggage at the ship for those arriving earlier.
Also, it will be possible to have a lunch on the
ship (at extra charge).
Connections at Sheremetyevo International
Airport
There is a regular bus service (approx. three
times each hour) from Sheremetyevo airport to
Moscow Metro Station (bus No.851) "Rechnoi
Vokzal". The tickets can be bought in the bus,
single fare is 28 roubles (1 Euro is about 38-40
roubles). Approximate time by taxi, depending on
traffic, varies between 15 to 45 minutes (by bus
between 30 to 60 minutes). A taxi from
Sheremetyevo Airport to Moscow city centre is
about Euro 60-80; to the North River station
about Euro 25-50 (depending on time and taxi
company).
Connections at Domodedovo
International Airport
The express train connects the airport with the
Paveletskaya Railway station, which, in turn, is
connected by a direct subway (Metro) line with
“Rechnoi Vokzal” metro station. At the airport
terminal, ask for a train station (it is at the
left side of the airport building). Train
timetable is here: (http://eng.rzd.ru/isvp/public/rzdeng?STRUCTURE_ID=4104
)
The whole trip
by train+Metro will take
about 2 hours, by taxi about 60-100 minutes.
If you will decide to take a taxi, please be
advised that a normal daytime rate for such taxi
trip is 50-80 Euro (Train costs 250 Roubles,
metro is 26 Roubles for single trip - please
have Russian money with you or change the
appropriate sum at the airport).
For the custom procedures in either
Sheremetyevo or Domodedovo you should allow
about 1 hour (in fact, this time is required for
passport control, for custom itself a "green
channel" operates).
Arrival to
Saint-Petersburg
The Conference ship will arive to Saint
Petersburg on Sunday, June 27 at
08:00.
We arrive to Salt Pier
("Solyanoi prichal") of "Utkina zavod" River
station, which is not far from the metro station
"Proletarskaya", address is Oktiabrskaya Nab.
29. Thus, you should put at least 90 minutes to
reach the airport after boat arrival, and take
into account the time necessary for passport and
security control.
The city transport connections to the Pulkovo
International airport you can find at the
airport website
http://www.pulkovoairport.ru/eng/transportation/shuttle_bus/
It is possible to order a taxi online via web
page
http://www.waytorussia.net/Services/Car/TransfersPetersburg.html
Since many participants wish to stay a few days
in St.Petersburg, we do not plan to organize a
group transportation from Petersburg to Moscow.
Besides, air companies frequently permit return
flights from other airport than airport of
arrival to the same country. The St.Petersburg
has international airport linked with many big
airports throghout the world. Nevertheless, if
you will wish (or have to) return to Moscow,
you can do it by plane or by train. To
book the plane tickets, you may use the Russian
Airways ("Aeroflot") web site:
https://www.aeroflot.ru/eng
The train connections is of not less
comfort and, having in mind time for
registration etc., takes approximately equal
time. There are about 15 trains a day (some of
them are overnight, others are day-time with
sitting place only). There are 3-5 High
Speed Trains a day, the trip takes slightly less
than 4 hours. Alternatively, you can use a
slower overnight train, saving money due to
avoiding need of the hotel. You can find a
time-table of the trains at
www.rzd.ru (there is link to English pages,
http://eng.rzd.ru/). Unfortunately, online
booking is available through Russian language
pages only.
