For longer journeys, or if you are in a hurry, the metro is the most efficient transport. The St. Petersburg Metro is perhaps not as impressive and monumental as the one in Moscow, yet it looks more impressive than most other subways and undergrounds in the world. It is the deepest subway in the world. Normally trains arrive every 2-4 minutes.

The stations open at about 5:45 a.m. and close between midnight and 0:30 a.m. You can transfer from one line to another until 0:15 am.
It is recommended to avoid "rush hours", when the trains are crowded (7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.). All signs are in Cyrillic print. The cost of a trip on the metro is cheap. You can buy a card for 10-20 trips or single metal tokens. These are available at the ticket cash desk inside each station.
