Moskovsky Rail Terminal

Description:

• Of St Petersburg's five central train stations, this is the main one. It is situated in the centre of the city and as the place of departure and arrival of trains to and from Moscow it has been called a little piece of Moscow in St Petersburg. However, trains from here depart in a variety of directions: northwards to Murmansk, or to Sevastopol in the distant south. The major destination is Moscow, and express trains can get you to the nation's capital in a minimal four hours. Apart from the common attributes of the train station (ticket offices, waiting-rooms, restaurants) there's something to surprise you. In one of the rooms you can find a real terrarium, which you can visit for about one dollar.
