Located about 23 km south of the city center, Pulkovo is usually reachable by suburban bus or express bus to metro stations in roughly 40–60 minutes; taxis and ride‑hailing can be faster depending on traffic and may cost markedly more.

Pros: straightforward transfers and decent amenities; cons: distance from downtown and variable road congestion.
